F1 2026 Mega Thread

2026 Formula 1 Grand Prix World Tour Introduction

The Formula 1 grid, 2026 🤩



Get ready for an exhilarating 2026 Formula 1 Grand Prix World Tour!

With fresh teams including Audi and Cadillac joining the grid, and a revamped calendar for better geographical flow, it’s set to be a thrilling chapter in F1 history.







Formula 1's official channels remind us that the qualifying format will be slightly different due to the addition of an 11th team.

Six drivers will be eliminated in the first segment, and another six in the second. The final, as usual, will be a 10-car field.

The first segment looks fairly predictable, but the rest will be more intriguing.

RBR Daily reports that Max told reporters during a press call at the weekend in Hungary today that he is staying with Red Bull for 2026.

We are waiting for Verstappen's announcement and Russell's official announcement

No place for PIA or NOR to go. My guess is that one of them is going to be a No 2 at another team after 2026.

Render of the Audi 2026 concept by graphic designer MagicRacingDes.

Overall, the colors are in the style of Haas, but in this combination with the classic matte gray they play a completely different game.

Weird. I just read today that Bottas was signed and Checo has some contract issues that couldn’t be agreed.

F1 2026 cars could reach 400 km/h

This is already clear in simulations. Toto Wolff: "When full power is deployed, we'll be approaching the 400 km/h limit."

Felipe Drugovich: "The car pushes like crazy out of the corners. You feel like you're sitting on a rocket."

The F1 engines now have more torque than ever, and we’re set to see new top speed records.

▫️Interesting details of the possible front wing in the 2026 Formula 1 regulations

▫️In the new regulations, the front wing will once again play a very prominent role in the aerodynamic performance of the chassis, playing an effective role in creating downforce, aerodynamic balance and effective airflow guidance

Formula 1 has some strange ways of promoting sprints.

Zandvoort and, especially, Singapore on the 2026 sprint calendar? Well, the Netherlands are out, but Singapore... Utter idiocy.

Yes, this is the officially confirmed calendar, by the way.

And to top it all off, the FIA ​​has announced the start times for the Formula 1 race sessions.

All times are local, of course.

In Vegas, qualifying and the race start at 6 a.m. Moscow time, if I'm not mistaken.

UPDATE: Corrected; in Vegas, it's 7 a.m., not 6 a.m.
