Formula 1’s 2026 rules bring the biggest technical shake-up the sport has ever seen. They change how drivers overtake and plan races by replacing the old Drag Reduction System (DRS) with a new “Active Aero” approach. Instead of a simple “open or closed” rear wing like DRS, Active Aero lets drivers keep adjusting both front and rear wings to balance grip and straight-line speed.

As the 2026 Formula 1 season begins, the sport is stepping into its biggest change so far. The main question is how the new power units keep F1 fast and exciting while making a serious move toward lower emissions.

The 2026 Formula 1 rules are a full restart for the sport. They bring in a radical mix of smaller, lighter “nimble cars,” a 50/50 split between electric power and engine power, and movable wings known as active aerodynamics.

The build-up to the 2026 Formula 1 season starts with a rush of car launches from January 15, 2026, followed by an intense testing program. This year’s pre-season includes a private five-day test window at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from January 26-30, and then two official three-day public tests at the Bahrain International Circuit (February 11-13 and February 18-20).

The bright trail of sparks behind a Formula 1 car is one of the most famous sights in racing, especially under the lights at night events. But what actually causes it?

Formula 1, the high-speed global motorsport series that mixes advanced technology with driver skill and bravery, is owned on the commercial side by Liberty Media Corporation. This American media company bought the commercial rights to F1 in 2017, marking a big change in how the sport is run as a business.

If you love high speed, bold overtakes, and the sound of F1 engines, knowing where to watch every session is key. Whether you've followed Formula 1 for years or only recently got hooked, you have many ways to watch, from regular TV to newer online streaming services.

The 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship will begin with the Australian Grand Prix from March 6-8, 2026. This much-anticipated season marks a new era for the sport, bringing major technical rule changes, new sustainable fuels, and a busy 24-race schedule.

Formula 1, often called the peak of car racing, officially began with the first FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 1950. But to really see where it started, you need to look back at European Grand Prix racing in the 1920s and 1930s. The sport we know today, with shared rules and fans all over the world, grew directly out of those exciting pre-war races.

Formula 1, or F1, is the highest level of global motorsport. It blends advanced engineering, athlete-level fitness, and high drama, traveling from country to country and drawing huge audiences.
