Formula 1 clarified the schedule for 2026.
The Formula 1 press service has published a revised version of the 2026 season calendar and the winter test schedule.
Three test sessions have been approved: from January 26 to 30 in Barcelona, February 11 to 13 and February 18 to 20 in Bahrain. The initial tests will be private and may be closed to the public and press at the teams' discretion.
The calendar differs from the previously published version approved by the FIA World Council by only one date.
At the request of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix promoters, Formula 1 and FIA agreed to move the round from Sunday, September 27, to Saturday, September 26, to coincide with the national holiday. All teams have been informed of this decision, and each day's event will be shifted one day earlier.
