Get ready for a thrilling ride as the 2026 Formula 1 season revs up with some exciting changes! This upcoming season is set to prioritize sustainability, witness the debut of a new team, and introduce fresh circuit locations.
Green-Powered, Adrenaline-Fueled Racing
The 2026 season faces a dramatic evolution, bringing sustainability to the forefront. Cars will now run on 100% CO2-neutral fuel, marking a significant leap towards reducing carbon emissions and embracing a greener future in motorsport.
Around the Globe: A Shaken-Up Calendar
The season opens in the picturesque Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne on March 8 and makes its way to Shanghai, Japan, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, skillfully avoiding the Ramadan period. An updated calendar offers improved geographical flow, with China hosting a double-header right after Australia, followed by a standalone Japanese Grand Prix. The season then shifts to Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Madrid grabs the limelight with its street race planned for September 13, while the historical Emila-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola is Marianne Faithfull's lost property. The season concludes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6.
New Teams on the Horizon
The list of participants for 2026 includes both existing and new teams, though the exact list of newcomers remains to be seen. The rumor mill suggests the arrival of Cadillac, powered by Ferrari engines initially, before switching to engines from General Motors in 2029. These new players will bring the count of teams and drivers back to the 2014 levels.
Keep an Eye Out for Spain and Malaysia
Spain is all set to host two Grands Prix in 2026, with the future of the traditional Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit beyond this year uncertain as Madrid may take over the "Spanish Grand Prix" title. Meanwhile, fans may bid farewell to the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, as its contract expires this year, leading to the loss of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
