Formula 1 is back.
After a long winter of rumours, driver moves and endless speculation, the cars are finally on track again and the early signs from testing suggest we’re in for another proper fight this season.
Last year saw Lando Norris claim his first Drivers’ World Championship, ending years of near misses and finally toppling Max Verstappen, who had dominated the sport for seasons. On the team side, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship, completing one of the most impressive turnarounds in modern F1.
Now everything resets.
Testing has already given us a taste of what’s coming. Some teams look sharper than expected, others are still chasing balance, and as always the margins are tiny. One upgrade, one safety car, one bold strategy call and the entire race can flip.
That’s Formula 1.
Twenty-four races.
Five continents.
A season that stretches from the opening lights in Melbourne to the final lap in Abu Dhabi.
And there’s no better place to ride the highs, arguments, last-lap chaos and pit-wall meltdowns than surrounded by other fans who actually care about the outcome.
Here’s the race calendar with UK start times for the 2026 championship.

From the glamour of Monaco to the madness of Singapore under the lights, every race brings something different. Strategy calls, wheel-to-wheel battles and the kind of drama only Formula 1 can produce.
So whether you’ve followed the sport for years or you’re just getting into it, settle in. It’s going to be a long season.
And if the first signs from testing are anything to go by, this one might get very interesting.
