Review Formula 1 2026 (PDF)

Seventy-seven seasons at the heart of Formula 1 history

Review Formula 1 2026 is an archive dedicated to the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship season and to the history of the championship since its creation in 1950. The book combines a detailed record of a single season with an extensive results archive, placing every Grand Prix within more than seven decades of competition.

On 13 May 1950, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone officially inaugurated the Formula 1 World Championship. Giuseppe “Nino” Farina won the race driving an Alfa Romeo and would become the first World Champion in the history of the discipline a few months later. That inaugural season consisted of seven events, with Farina, Juan Manuel Fangio and Luigi Fagioli at the centre of the title battle.

Since that first season, Formula 1 has continually evolved. Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati and Mercedes shaped the early years before new manufacturers and teams progressively transformed the championship. Lotus, Brabham, Tyrrell, McLaren, Williams, Renault, Benetton, Red Bull and many others became part of its history, alongside successive generations of champions, from Juan Manuel Fangio to Lewis Hamilton, including Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

Review Formula 1 2026 allows readers to explore this history through Grand Prix results, drivers, teams, manufacturers, circuits and key championship statistics. The historical data covers the period 1950–2026, providing documentary continuity from the birth of the World Championship through to the 2026 season.

The 2026 season itself represents a major milestone in this chronology. It introduces a new generation of cars and power units defined by the FIA, with reduced weight and dimensions, active aerodynamics, a significantly greater electrical contribution to available power and the use of 100% sustainable fuel. The regulations also bring new power-unit manufacturers into the championship, creating a new technical era for Formula 1.

The 2026 calendar features 24 Grands Prix, from the season opener in Australia to Abu Dhabi in December. Madrid joins the championship for the first time, while Audi and Cadillac enter the Formula 1 landscape, adding another dimension to a season marked by major technical and sporting changes.

Within the book, the 2026 season is documented session by session: practice, qualifying, races and other weekend events are presented in chronological order. Readers can therefore follow the championship throughout the season while having access to a much broader historical perspective within the same volume.

This dual approach is what gives Review Formula 1 2026 its value. It is not simply a season report, nor is it a book built around anecdotes or contemporary commentary. It is designed as a reference archive, allowing readers to look up a result, compare different periods, follow a driver’s career or place a particular Grand Prix within the wider history of Formula 1.

From the Alfa Romeo cars of 1950 to the new-generation Formula 1 machinery introduced in 2026, technologies, circuits, manufacturers and generations of drivers have changed dramatically. Results provide the constant thread through which this evolution can be measured.

Review Formula 1 2026 is designed for Formula 1 enthusiasts who want to preserve a structured record of the 2026 season while also having a genuine historical overview of the championship. A book to consult, compare and keep as part of a growing reference collection.

Seventy-seven seasons. Thousands of results. Generations of champions, drivers, teams and manufacturers. An archive of Formula 1, from 1950 to 2026.
