The 2025 F1 season ended with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix held in recent weeks. All eyes are already on 2026.
2026 will be a very different season as it will be the first year of new vehicles and engines.
In this context, the testing period was increased to nine days; The first tests will be carried out in January, much earlier than usual. However, this test will be closed to the press and fans.
The date determined for this test will be between January 26-30, and the teams will choose three of these five days and drive in Barcelona.
The first real test will be held in Bahrain between February 11-13. The second test will be held shortly after this, between February 18-20.
Due to the month of Ramadan, the first race will be Australia, not Bahrain, just like in 2025. This decision caused the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grand Prix to be postponed again until April.
