SUMMARY:Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Miami Gardens\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nHaving made its F1 debut in May 2022\, the Miami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit\, but one designed to have a permanent feel. Set in the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens\, home to the NFL’s famous Miami Dolphins franchise\, the track is the culmination of a development process that simulated no less than 36 different layouts before settling on a thrilling\, 19-turn lap that provides a street circuit vibe\, not dissimilar to Melbourne’s Albert Park. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe inaugural Miami Grand Prix took place in 2022\, the Florida race joining its Texan counterpart in Austin to become the second US race on the calendar – and the 11th different American venue to host a round of the Formula 1 world championship. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nA street-track spectacular. With the Hard Rock Stadium at its epicentre\, the 5.41km layout features 19 corners\, three straights\, three DRS zones\, and top speeds of over 350km/h. There are elevation changes too\, the main one found between Turns 13 and 16\, with the track heading over an exit ramp and under various flyovers across uneven ground. The Turn 14-15 chicane\, meanwhile\, has an uphill approach\, with a crest in the middle\, and then drops down on exit. \nWhy go?\nThe Hard Rock Stadium knows how to put on a show – it has hosted six Super Bowls\, two Baseball World Series and numerous rock concerts. Put it at the heart of a track designed to encourage close racing while meeting the highest safety standards and you have a sure-fire winner for spectators. Then there’s Miami itself – famed for its sandy beaches\, art deco vibe\, vibrant multiculturalism and rich sporting heritage\, it’s an essential destination for those visiting the Sunshine State. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nWhen viewing a sporting event in a purpose-built stadium\, it’s hard to go wrong. In fact\, you could walk around the top deck of the Hard Rock Stadium and see every corner of the track – pretty unique. As for the best passing spots\, a seat near Turns 1\, 11 or 17 should put you in the thick of the action.

SUMMARY:Lenovo Grand Prix du Canada 2026
DESCRIPTION:Montréal\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe man-made Notre Dame Island in the middle of the St Lawrence River was created for the 1967 Expo 67 World’s Fair. Once the expo and the ensuing 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics had left town\, some clever people decided to make a race track out of the island’s roads. And lo\, the Circuit Ile Notre-Dame\, as it then was\, came to be. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nWith the Canadian Grand Prix having been in search of a permanent home for a number of years in the 1960s and 1970s\, the Circuit Ile Notre-Dame first hosted the race in 1978. Fittingly\, Gilles Villeneuve claimed his maiden win\, at the track that would end up bearing his name. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nThe fast\, low-downforce circuit is one of the drivers’ favourites. The track is quite stop-start\, with lots of heavy-braking chicanes and the famous hairpin to get the anchors working hard. Out of the corners\, though\, the track is quick and flowing\, while the most iconic piece of the circuit comes right at the end of the lap: the Wall of Champions\, so-called after excursions into it from Damon Hill\, Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher during the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix weekend. \nWhy go?\nThe Montrealais really embrace their Grand Prix weekend\, with the charming city turning into an F1-loving party town in the week leading up to the race. For the Grand Prix itself\, the leafy setting makes the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve one of Formula 1’s most laidback venues. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nIt’s got to be one of either Grandstand 15\, 21 or 24\, the three that surround the hairpin. It makes for a real amphitheatre vibe down there\, as well as allowing you to see all the hairpin overtakes.

SUMMARY:Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026
DESCRIPTION:Monaco\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nIn 1215\, sort of – that’s when Monaco was first established as a colony of Genoa. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nIt was 1929 when racing engines first reverberated around the Principality\, after cigarette manufacturer Antony Noghes decided to organise a race with his pals from the Automobile Club de Monaco. The race was part of the calendar in the first year of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950\, and hasn’t been off it since 1955. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nIncredibly narrow and totally iconic. Nelson Piquet memorably described driving around Monaco as “like riding a bicycle around your living room”… which is fair. Despite that\, it’s a challenge that nearly all drivers love\, forcing them to put their skills on the line and rewarding millimetric accuracy. Overtaking on the tight streets is harder\, however\, with the 2003 Grand Prix witnessing a grand total of zero passing moves! \nWhy go?\nA holiday on the French Riviera\, plus the chance to watch Formula 1 cars pounding past places where Monegasques usually go to buy a pint of milk? It really is as fun as it sounds. On top of that\, the chance to walk the track after a day’s hard lapping – or even enjoy your dinner on it at one of the terrasse bars – is not to be missed. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nAssuming you can’t get into one of the overhanging apartment blocks around the circuit (or onto a boat) shoot for anything from Grandstands L to P\, which are clustered around the Swimming Pool section of the track\, and where drivers hurl their cars through the tight chicane at 200km/h. Or\, for a more spectacular vista\, try Grandstand B\, overlooking the ritzy Casino Square.

SUMMARY:MSC Cruises Gran Premio de Barcelona-Catalunya 2026
DESCRIPTION:Barcelona\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was built as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics development programme. The foundation stone was laid in 1989\, while the first car race was a round of the 1991 Spanish Touring Car Championship. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nTwo weeks after the touring cars raced at Barcelona\, it was Formula 1’s turn. The track enjoyed a sensational debut\, with Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna’s famous eyeball-to-eyeball drag race down the straight\, before Mansell took the lead and drove on to victory. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nThe drivers love the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya\, which for many years was Formula 1’s pre-season testing venue of choice. The track is a good mix of high- and low-speed corners\, with the challenging Turn 3 right-hander a great chance to evaluate the balance of the car your team’s designers have given you to fight with for the year. \nWhy go?\nYou don’t need us to tell you that Barcelona is one of the world’s great cities\, even if we just sort of did. Food\, culture\, beaches – it’s all there\, making a Spanish Grand Prix holiday a properly attractive proposition. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nYou’ve got plenty of choice\, with almost the whole track overlooked by grandstands or general admission areas. On the outside of Turn 1\, Grandstand A will let you see the best overtaking spot on the track\, while the general admission area around Turn 3 will provide the awe-inspiring sight of Formula 1 cars being pushed to the limit of their downforce capabilities.

SUMMARY:Lenovo Austrian Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spielberg\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe fearsome\, original Osterreichring was originated in 1969 as a replacement for the Zeltweg airfield circuit. The track known today as the Red Bull Ring was more or less created over the winter of 1995-6\, when Hermann Tilke was engaged to turn the Osterreichring into a shorter\, more modern race track. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe A1-Ring\, as it was then called\, was opened in 1996\, with Formula 1 arriving at the circuit a year later. Jacques Villeneuve won the race\, while Jean Alesi had a spectacular crash when his Benetton climbed up the Ferrari of Eddie Irvine. Alesi’s team mate Gerhard Berger\, meanwhile\, used his home Grand Prix to announce his F1 retirement. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nIt’s only wee\, bless it\, but the Red Bull Ring packs a lot into a short lap. The first half rewards power\, as the cars blast along three straights separated by a pair of uphill right-handers. But then as the drivers work their way downhill\, the circuit becomes a regular toboggan ride\, as the cars canyon through a series of quick corners\, including the exhilarating Rindt right-hander\, named for Austria’s first F1 champion. \nWhy go?\nRace tracks don’t come much more picturesque than the Red Bull Ring\, set in an idyllic natural bowl in the Styrian mountains. That makes for a pleasant environment for a Grand Prix\, while if you’re after tourist attractions to visit after the race\, look no further than the museum in Graz dedicated to the city’s favourite son: Arnold Schwarzenegger. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nOne of Formula 1’s best views is to be had at the Red Bull Ring’s ‘Nord’ grandstand\, based around the outside of what used to be the Bosch Kurve at the Osterreichring. Here\, you’ll have a great vantage point across much of the track as it drops away from you down the natural slope of the circuit.

But\, well\, they were! The Silverstone circuit was first used for a proper motor race in 1947 – although sadly\, a local sheep lost its life during the proceedings… \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nSilverstone was the first Grand Prix\, hosting the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship round on May 13 1950. Old campaigner Giuseppe Farina\, who’d take that year’s title\, won the race in his Alfa Romeo 158. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nAt the 2018 British Grand Prix\, Lewis Hamilton compared a flat-out lap around Silverstone to flying a fighter jet\, which should tell you all you need to know about the Northamptonshire circuit. Despite numerous layout changes over the years\, Silverstone has always maintained its essential character as one of the fastest tracks on the F1 calendar\, while historic corners like Maggotts\, Becketts and Abbey provide some of the biggest challenges for racing drivers anywhere in the world. \nWhy go?\nIt’s hard to stop the goose bumps from prickling as you walk around one of the great cathedrals of motorsport\, while in terms of atmosphere\, the British fans are always reliably raucous – this is the country that invented football (that’s soccer\, mind)\, after all. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe Becketts grandstand has to rank highly on the ultimate list of places to watch an F1 car in action – believe us\, your eyes will be on stalks when you see how quickly the drivers zip through Maggotts and Becketts. Further along the track\, the Stowe grandstands will place you at one of the best overtaking spots\, while watching the drivers chuck their cars into that corner on their own is nearly as good.

The track was redeveloped in 1979\, and although the new circuit is only half the original’s length\, it’s still the longest on the current calendar at 7.004km. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nHaving hosted a non-championship Grand Prix as long ago as 1924\, Belgium’s iconic circuit was one of just seven to be part of Formula 1’s maiden championship in 1950. That race was won by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio\, who led home an Alfa Romeo one-two ahead of team mate Nino Farina. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nSpa is among Formula 1 drivers’ most loved tracks\, with its mix of long straights and challenging fast corners allowing them to push their cars to the edge of their capabilities – if it’s dry\, that is. The size of the track and the nature of Belgian weather means it can sometimes be raining on one part of the track and dry on another\, meaning grip can vary from one corner to the next. Keep an eye on the thrilling Eau Rouge\, arguably the most famous sequence of corners in the world\, as the drivers flick left\, right and then up the hill through Raidillon. \nWhy go?\nWhat’s not to love about one of Europe’s classic tracks? Only the truly great drivers conquer Spa\, with Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher among those to master this magical circuit. Add in the wonderful setting of the Ardennes forest and it’s no surprise that it’s a fan favourite. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe elevated grandstand located near Eau Rouge gives you the best view of the iconic corner\, while also boasting panoramic views from La Source through to Raidillon. But if you fancy taking in some of the best trackside atmosphere\, then the grandstand located on the Pouhon corner should be right up your street.

The Hungarian government had originally considered reviving the old Nepliget park circuit in Budapest in a bid to host Formula 1 in the country\, but in the end decided to create a purpose-built facility instead. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe year was 1986. Nelson Piquet won the first F1 race around the Hungaroring\, famously slithering his Williams around the outside of Ayrton Senna’s Lotus to take the lead. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nThe lack of straights at the Hungaroring often sees it compared to a karting circuit – and it’s true\, the resemblance is uncanny. With several series of corners to string together\, teams opt for Monaco levels of downforce\, with a well-sorted chassis tending to be rewarded over horsepower given the short straights on offer. It’s a challenge many of the drivers relish\, however\, with finding a good rhythm key to setting fast lap times. \nWhy go?\nHungary in August is usually hot hot hot. The good news if you’re at the track\, though\, is that there’s a water park close by – the Mogyorodi Aquarena vizi szorakoztatopark – which should be a good place to cool off. Away from aqueous activities\, the circuit is only 20km from Budapest\, putting you close to one of Europe’s most fascinating\, storied and lively city centres. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe track is built in a natural bowl\, a bit like the UK’s Brands Hatch. That means that any of the grandstands located on or around the main straight should provide a view of other parts of the track too\, giving you more F1 bang for your\, er\, forint.

SUMMARY:Dutch Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Zandvoort\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe track was laid out among the dunes on the Dutch North Sea coast in the years immediately after the Second World War\, opening in 1948 on a route that had partly been marked out during the occupation. It served for decades in roughly its original shape\, lost its longest section to a shortened layout in the early 1990s\, and was then substantially reworked ahead of its modern return\, most visibly with banked corners at Turn 3 and the final turn. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nZandvoort hosted a Dutch Grand Prix from 1948\, with the race counting towards the world championship from 1952. It became a fixture through the 1960s and 1970s before dropping off the calendar after 1985\, a victim of noise restrictions\, funding and shifting circuit safety standards. A long absence followed\, and the race only returned in 2021 after the rebuild\, the delayed product of a wave of Dutch enthusiasm that made the case commercially impossible to ignore. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nOld-school in the best sense: narrow\, undulating\, and hemmed in by dunes and barriers that leave very little margin. The corners flow into one another with barely a breath between them\, so a car that is unsettled at one apex is usually still misbehaving at the next. Teams run high downforce\, and the banking at Turn 3 and the final corner lets drivers carry more speed than the geometry suggests while loading the tyres hard. Braking demands are moderate rather than punishing. Overtaking is the problem. There is a DRS run onto the main straight\, but the track is tight and track position matters enormously. \nWhy go?\nIt is a proper seaside race weekend. The circuit sits within walking distance of the beach and the town\, most of the crowd arrives by train or bike\, and the whole place takes on a slightly unhinged orange colour scheme for three days. Late August on the North Sea can deliver warm sunshine or a horizontal gale\, sometimes within the same session. Amsterdam is half an hour away by rail\, which makes it one of the easier European rounds to build a trip around. The noise in the dune bowl is genuinely something. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe grandstands around Turn 3 give you the banking from the outside\, which is the most visually striking part of the lap. The Arena section on the exit of the Hugenholtzbocht offers a long sweep of track and a sense of the elevation. Seats near Tarzan\, the first corner\, cover the best of the limited overtaking and the start. Anywhere along the run to the final banked turn is good for cars at full commitment. General admission on the dune banking is atmospheric but sightlines vary\, so arrive early.

SUMMARY:Italian Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Monza\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nMonza was built in 1922 inside a royal park north of Milan\, and did it in a hurry\, taking only a few months from first ground being broken to cars running. The original complex combined a road course with a high-speed banked oval\, and the crumbling remains of that banking still stand in the trees. The layout has been softened repeatedly over the decades\, with chicanes added from the 1970s onwards to slow cars that had become far too fast for the old flat-out configuration. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe Italian Grand Prix arrived at Monza in 1922\, the year the circuit opened\, and the venue has been the race’s near-permanent home ever since. It has appeared on every world championship calendar since the series began in 1950 with a single exception\, when the 1980 running went to Imola while Monza was being reworked. That gives it the longest continuous run of any circuit in the sport\, and a good deal of the reverence that comes with it. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nThe fastest lap on the calendar and the lowest downforce weekend of the year. Three long straights\, punctuated by heavy braking into two chicanes and the Rettifilo\, mean the wings come off and the engine department takes over. Brakes work hard because the deceleration events are enormous\, but the corners themselves are few\, so tyre loading is comparatively gentle and degradation is rarely the story. Overtaking is straightforward by modern standards\, with big slipstreams and multiple genuine passing zones. The compromise is the killer: too little wing and you are hopeless through Lesmo and Ascari\, too much and you are a sitting duck on the straights. \nWhy go?\nNothing else in the sport sounds like Monza on Sunday afternoon. The tifosi fill the park\, the atmosphere carries a slightly religious quality\, and if a red car does anything of note the noise is extraordinary. Early September in Lombardy is usually warm\, Milan is twenty minutes away by train\, and the venue itself is a public park with shade\, food\, and the ruined old banking to walk if you fancy a break from the noise. It is one of the great cheap-and-cheerful weekends if you are willing to stand. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe main grandstands at the start-finish line put you above the pit lane and the run to the first chicane\, which is where most of the drama happens on lap one. Stands at the Roggia and the first Lesmo give you cars at genuine speed with braking on show. The Parabolica grandstands are the connoisseur’s pick\, watching drivers commit to a long right-hander before the sprint to the flag. General admission around Ascari is excellent value and offers the best view of a car being properly wrestled.

SUMMARY:Spanish Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Madrid\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nPurpose-built for its 2026 debut\, the Madring is a new venue constructed on and around the IFEMA exhibition grounds in the north-east of Madrid\, close to the airport. It mixes permanent sections with public roads\, which puts it in the same family as the sport’s semi-street circuits rather than a conventional out-of-town autodrome. Construction ran through the mid-2020s alongside the surrounding infrastructure\, and the design was signed off with a long-term commitment to the Spanish Grand Prix. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nIts first Grand Prix is scheduled for September 2026\, which makes this circuit an entirely blank page. Spain has a long championship history through Jarama\, Jerez\, Montmelo and the old Montjuic road course\, but none of that transfers here. There is no lap record worth quoting\, no established overtaking spot\, and no accumulated wisdom about how the surface behaves once rubber goes down. Everything written about the Madring before the first race weekend is inference rather than form. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nOn paper the layout blends fast\, flowing sections with tighter technical corners and a banked turn\, and includes significant elevation change for a city venue. That points towards a medium to high downforce set-up and a genuine compromise between straight-line speed and the twistier third of the lap. New asphalt usually starts green and low-grip\, so expect a track that improves substantially across the weekend and rewards whoever adapts fastest. Walls in the street sections leave little room for error. Whether overtaking works properly is the open question\, and until cars have actually raced here nobody\, teams included\, will know for certain. \nWhy go?\nA brand-new circuit in a major European capital is a rare thing\, and there is something to be said for being at the first running of anything. Madrid in September is warm without being punishing\, the venue sits on the metro line and near the airport\, and the city itself does late nights\, food and street atmosphere better than almost any host on the calendar. Expect the usual first-year rough edges around access and facilities\, balanced by a crowd that has waited a long time for a race of its own. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nDetailed seating advice is guesswork until the first weekend\, but the reliable principles apply. Look for stands at the end of the longest straight\, where late braking and any DRS passes will concentrate\, and at the first corner for lap-one incident. The banked turn should be the visual highlight and worth paying for if a stand overlooks it. Sections with elevation change tend to give the best sense of speed. If you want flexibility in year one\, a roving or general admission ticket lets you find the good spots yourself.

The route was designed in the mid-2010s to run along the Caspian waterfront and up through the medieval old town\, with the first cars running in 2016. Beyond the permanent pit and paddock facilities\, most of what you see is barriers\, fencing and grandstands that go up in the weeks before the race and come down afterwards. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe circuit’s first Formula 1 event was the European Grand Prix in 2016\, an oddity of a title for a race held in Azerbaijan. From 2017 it was renamed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and has held that name since. It established a reputation almost immediately for chaos\, with a run of races decided by late safety cars\, contact between teammates and debris on a very long straight. Few venues have built a personality that quickly. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nA circuit of two halves. The run from the final corner past the pits is one of the longest full-throttle stretches in the sport\, which pushes teams towards skinny wings. Then comes the old town\, a claustrophobic uphill section barely wider than a car and a half\, where you want all the downforce you just gave away. That tension defines the weekend. Braking is heavy into the tight left at Turn 1 and at the end of the straight\, tyres are lightly loaded but sensitive to graining on cold\, low-grip asphalt. Overtaking is real and often dramatic\, mostly at the end of the long straight. \nWhy go?\nBaku is one of the more unusual trips on the calendar\, an oil-boom capital of glass towers wrapped around a walled old city\, with a long waterfront promenade to walk between sessions. Late September is comfortable\, warm days and a breeze off the Caspian. The circuit runs through the heart of the city\, so you are never far from a restaurant or a bar\, and the race weekend has a relaxed\, uncrowded feel compared with the European rounds. Getting there takes effort\, which is part of the appeal. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe grandstands overlooking the castle section give you the tightest\, most nerve-wracking corners on the calendar and cars at walking pace between walls. Stands near Turn 1 catch the heavy braking at the end of the long straight\, where most passes and most incidents happen. The main straight seating puts you level with the pit lane and the run to the flag. The waterfront stands offer a fast\, flowing sequence and the best weather. If you can move\, do a lap of the venue across the weekend.

Hermann Tilke drew it up from a clean sheet\, and it opened in March 1999. Its wide track\, generous run-off and sweeping double-sided main grandstand became the template for a generation of purpose-built circuits across Asia and the Middle East. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe first Malaysian Grand Prix ran in October 1999 and was eventful well before the chequered flag: it marked Michael Schumacher’s return from a broken leg\, and Ferrari’s one-two was thrown out over a bodywork dimension before being reinstated on appeal. The race stayed on the calendar until 2017\, when Malaysia chose not to renew. This weekend is Formula 1’s first visit in nine years\, and it arrives as the relocated Bahrain Grand Prix rather than a Malaysian one. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nA long\, broad lap of about five and a half kilometres. It opens with a tight right-left complex at the end of the main straight\, runs through a sequence of fast direction changes and long\, loaded corners\, then finishes with two long straights joined by a slow hairpin. That back straight\, hairpin and pit straight sequence is the main passing zone\, backed up by the first-corner complex. Downforce sits in the medium-to-high range and traction out of the slow corners matters. The real variable is the climate: track temperatures can climb past 50 degrees\, punishing rear tyres\, brakes and cooling\, and tropical storms can roll in within minutes. \nWhy go?\nKuala Lumpur is about an hour up the road and is one of Asia’s great food cities\, from hawker centres to night markets\, so evenings take care of themselves. The circuit sits right beside the international airport\, which makes it one of the easiest venues on the calendar to fly straight into. Early October falls in the inter-monsoon season\, so expect heavy heat\, high humidity and a good chance of an afternoon downpour. After nine years away\, there is also the novelty of being there for Formula 1’s return. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe main grandstand is the signature seat here: its covered stand looks across both the pit straight and the back straight\, with the final hairpin in between\, so you see the lap’s key overtaking sequence twice\, and you are out of the sun and rain. Stands and hillside viewing around the first two corners catch the opening-lap scramble and the braking zone at the end of the pit straight. Given the weather\, covered seating is worth the premium.

SUMMARY:Singapore Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Singapore\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe Marina Bay circuit was assembled on public roads around Singapore’s waterfront and civic district for its 2008 debut\, with a substantial lighting installation the defining piece of engineering. Hundreds of projectors were rigged to give near-daylight conditions for a race run after dark\, an arrangement that had not been attempted at this level before. The layout is largely temporary\, going up around normal city traffic each year\, and was significantly revised in 2023 when a slow sequence near the bay was replaced by a long straight. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe inaugural Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 was Formula 1’s first night race\, and it delivered instantly\, though for reasons that only emerged later and became one of the sport’s uglier scandals. Since then it has been an anchor of the Asian leg\, missing only the pandemic years. It quickly acquired a reputation as the most physically brutal race of the season\, and for a long stretch produced the highest average race duration on the calendar. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nLong\, hot\, bumpy and unforgiving. The lap packs in a lot of corners\, most of them slow\, with walls close enough that a small mistake is usually a large one. Teams run near-maximum downforce\, brakes take a beating from the constant stop-start rhythm\, and the surface changes character as track temperature drops through the evening. Tyres suffer more from thermal stress and traction demands than from raw cornering load. Overtaking is difficult but not impossible\, particularly since the 2023 revision added a proper straight. The heat and humidity make it the toughest physical test drivers face all year. \nWhy go?\nIt is arguably the best weekend on the calendar for a non-purist companion. The race runs at night against a lit skyline\, the venue is in the middle of a city with world-class food and public transport\, and the ticket includes concerts and entertainment that would stand on their own. October is hot and humid with a decent chance of a downpour\, so plan for both. Because sessions run in the evening\, you have your days free to be a tourist\, which very few Grands Prix allow. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe Bay Grandstand gives you the skyline backdrop and the run along the waterfront\, which is the postcard view. The Pit Grandstand covers the start\, the pit lane and the first-corner braking zone. Turn 1 and Turn 2 stands are the pick for on-track action\, catching the heaviest braking and the best chance of a pass. The Padang area works well for walking access to the entertainment. General admission zones near the Anderson Bridge put you very close to the cars in the tighter corners.

SUMMARY:United States Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Austin\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nCircuit of the Americas was purpose-built on farmland south-east of Austin\, Texas\, with construction running through 2011 and 2012 after a stop-start funding saga that nearly killed the project. The design deliberately borrowed the flavour of celebrated corners from European tracks and set them on a site with substantial natural elevation\, most obviously the steep climb to the first corner. It remains one of the more ambitious purpose-built venues of the modern era\, though its notoriously bumpy surface has needed repeated attention. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe United States Grand Prix arrived at the circuit in November 2012\, ending a two-year absence from the calendar and giving the sport a settled American home after a long run of short-lived venues. It has held the race every year since apart from 2020. The Austin round is widely credited with rebuilding Formula 1’s audience in the United States\, laying groundwork that the later Miami and Las Vegas events were able to build on. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nOne of the more complete tests on the calendar. The lap opens with a blind uphill left into Turn 1\, drops into a fast esses sequence that rewards commitment and a well-balanced car\, and then settles into a slower\, more technical final third. Downforce levels are medium to high\, and the long back straight into a tight left provides a genuine passing zone. Tyre loading through the high-speed changes of direction is severe\, and degradation is often a live strategic question. The surface is famously uneven\, and how a car copes with the bumps frequently matters as much as its raw aerodynamic performance. \nWhy go?\nAustin does the weekend properly. The city is a music town that treats the race as an excuse for a festival\, the food is excellent\, and the crowd is a genuine mix of American newcomers and travelling diehards. Late October in Texas is usually warm and pleasant\, though it can turn wet and cold without much notice. The venue has good sightlines from the natural slopes and an observation tower\, and the concert schedule is a substantial part of the ticket rather than an afterthought. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe Turn 1 grandstands are the obvious pick\, giving you the uphill braking zone and the best lap-one view in North America. Turn 12\, at the end of the back straight\, is the main overtaking spot and worth a seat. The Turn 9 area covers the fast esses and is the place to appreciate a car at high speed. The main grandstand offers pit lane access to the eye and the finish. General admission on the hills between Turns 2 and 6 is superb value with real elevation.

SUMMARY:Mexico City Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Mexico City\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe circuit was laid out in the Magdalena Mixhuca sports park in Mexico City and opened in 1962. It has been reconfigured several times\, most significantly for its modern return in 2015\, when the fearsome Peraltada banked corner was cut and the lap redirected through a baseball stadium instead. That change cost the track its most famous corner but gave it a grandstand section unlike anything else in the sport\, with the crowd wrapped almost entirely around the cars. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nA non-championship race ran in 1962\, with the first world championship Mexican Grand Prix following in 1963. The event ran through to 1970\, when crowd control problems ended it\, then returned for a spell in the late 1980s before disappearing again. Its most recent revival came in 2015\, backed by strong local interest and a passionate home crowd\, and it has been a reliable fixture of the calendar’s American leg since. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nThe altitude is the whole story. At well over two thousand metres\, the air is thin\, so cars run maximum downforce wings and still generate less grip than a low-downforce circuit at sea level. Straight-line speeds are enormous as a result\, and the run to Turn 1 is among the longest anywhere. Cooling is a serious engineering headache\, with brakes and power units both struggling to shed heat in thin air. Tyres run cool and can be hard to switch on. Overtaking into the first corner is genuine\, though the wide entry and three-abreast temptation makes lap one a lottery. \nWhy go?\nThe crowd is the reason. Mexico City fills the venue with a noise and colour that few other rounds match\, and the stadium section on a Sunday afternoon is one of the great experiences in the sport. Late October coincides with Day of the Dead celebrations\, so the city itself is at its most vivid. Altitude is worth respecting if you are arriving from sea level\, and the weather is mild rather than hot. The city has extraordinary food and a metro that gets you to the gate. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe stadium section grandstands are the signature view\, with cars threading a slow sequence inside a baseball arena surrounded by noise on all sides. The Turn 1 stands cover the end of the long straight and the heaviest braking\, which is where the overtaking happens. The Turn 4 area offers a good view of the esses and the first sector. The main grandstand covers the start and the pits. Almost anywhere in the stadium is worth paying extra for\, purely for atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Brazilian Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:São Paulo\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nInterlagos was built in the 1940s on hilly land in southern São Paulo\, opening in 1940 on a long\, sprawling layout that took full advantage of the terrain. Deteriorating surfaces and safety concerns saw it shortened substantially in the early 1990s to roughly the configuration used today\, which kept the elevation change and the character while losing much of the length. It remains a compact lap by modern standards\, and one of the few anticlockwise circuits in the championship. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe Brazilian Grand Prix first ran at Interlagos as a non-championship event in 1972\, joining the world championship in 1973. The race alternated with Rio de Janeiro’s Jacarepagua through the 1980s before returning permanently to São Paulo in 1990. Renamed the São Paulo Grand Prix in recent years\, it has produced an outsized share of the sport’s memorable finishes and championship deciders\, helped by its late-season slot and famously fickle weather. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nShort\, steep and relentlessly good. The lap runs anticlockwise\, dropping through the Senna S into a long\, loaded left-hander\, then out onto a back section before an uphill charge to the line that effectively makes the last corner and the main straight one long overtaking zone. Downforce levels are medium\, brakes have an easier time than at most venues\, and the sustained left-hand loading works one side of the tyres considerably harder than the other. Overtaking is plentiful by modern standards. The surface is bumpy\, the elevation change is severe\, and a car that rides the compressions well is worth a lot. \nWhy go?\nInterlagos has the most partisan and most joyful crowd on the calendar\, and a compact venue where you can see a genuine chunk of the lap from most seats. November in São Paulo is warm and humid with a high chance of a dramatic afternoon storm\, which is part of the appeal given how many races here have been decided by rain. The city is enormous and full of life\, the food is excellent\, and the racing has a habit of mattering because the round falls near the end of the season. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nSector A\, the main grandstand area above the start-finish straight\, gives you the pit lane\, the start and the run down into the Senna S\, which is where most passes finish. Sector B on the outside of the Senna S puts you at the heaviest braking point. The Sector M grandstands near the final corner cover the uphill charge and the slipstream battles. Because the venue sits in a natural bowl\, even general admission areas offer views across multiple parts of the circuit\, which is rare.

SUMMARY:Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nThe Las Vegas Strip Circuit was assembled for the 2023 race on existing public roads\, including a long stretch of the Strip itself\, with a purpose-built pit and paddock complex constructed nearby as the one permanent element. Preparation involved substantial resurfacing of the city’s roads and a barrier and fencing operation that goes up and comes down around a functioning tourist district each year. It is a temporary circuit in the fullest sense\, and an unusually large logistical exercise even by street-race standards. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe first race on this layout was held in November 2023. Las Vegas had hosted Formula 1 before\, in 1981 and 1982\, on a very different circuit laid out in a hotel car park\, an event remembered more for its oddity than its quality. The modern race is a separate proposition entirely\, run late at night through the middle of the city. With only a handful of runnings so far\, the form book here is thin and should be treated with caution. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nA power circuit dressed as a street race. Long straights\, including the run down the Strip\, dominate the lap\, so teams strip wing levels back towards Monza territory and live with the consequences in the slower corners. That produces very high top speeds and real overtaking chances into the heavy braking zones. The defining problem is temperature: the race runs late at night in the desert in November\, and getting tyres and brakes into their working range is genuinely difficult. Graining and lock-ups are common. Walls are close\, run-off is minimal\, and the surface takes a while to rubber in. \nWhy go?\nIt is a spectacle first and a motor race second\, and it does not pretend otherwise. Cars run past casinos at three hundred kilometres an hour in the small hours\, the entertainment budget is conspicuous\, and the city is set up for exactly this sort of thing. November nights are cold enough to need proper clothing\, which surprises people. Sessions run very late\, so plan your sleep accordingly. Prices are high across the board\, and the atmosphere is more show business than motorsport pilgrimage\, but the Strip at speed is a genuinely striking sight. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe grandstands along the Strip give you the signature view of cars at full speed against the casino frontages. Stands at the end of that straight cover the heaviest braking and the most likely overtaking. The Sphere-adjacent seating and the East Harmon area offer the corner sequences where cars are actually being driven rather than just travelling fast. The main grandstand near the pit complex covers the start and pit stops. Skyboxes and hotel-view packages are plentiful if the budget stretches\, though sightlines vary.

Its floodlighting system\, installed for night racing later that decade\, was among the most extensive in motorsport at the time. Ahead of Formula 1’s return in 2023 the circuit received significant upgrades\, including new pit and paddock facilities and\, importantly\, resurfacing and revised kerbs after the first grand prix exposed problems with tyre wear. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nFormula 1 first raced at Lusail in 2021\, a late addition to a disrupted calendar\, and then returned from 2023 on a long-term deal. That makes it one of the newer venues in championship terms\, with only a handful of grands prix to draw on. Its short history has already been eventful\, taking in tyre failures\, a punishing heat-related edition that drew attention to driver welfare\, and mandatory stint limits imposed on safety grounds. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nFaster and more flowing than its reputation suggests. The lap is built around a long sequence of medium and high-speed corners\, with a substantial main straight for a breather and one genuinely heavy braking zone. Downforce levels sit high\, and the sustained lateral loading through those sweeps is the hardest test of tyre construction on the calendar\, which is why stint limits have been necessary. Kerbs have been a source of tyre damage. Brakes have a comparatively easy weekend. Overtaking is largely confined to the main straight and the first corner\, so track position carries weight. \nWhy go?\nA late-November desert night race with mild evening temperatures and clear skies\, which is about as pleasant as motorsport spectating gets after the European season has closed. Doha is compact\, modern and easy to move around\, with the souq and the waterfront worth a day either side. The circuit sits a short drive from the city. The crowd is smaller and quieter than the South American or Italian rounds\, so if you value comfortable access and a good view without the crush\, it makes a strong case for itself. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe main grandstand covers the start\, the pit lane and the braking into Turn 1\, which is where the overtaking happens. Grandstands overlooking the fast sweeps in the middle sector show the cars at their most impressive\, loaded up and changing direction at speed. The final-corner seating gives you the exit onto the long straight and the setup for a pass. Because the race runs under lights\, the visual quality from almost any seat is high. Sightlines are generally good given the flat\, open desert site.

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026
DESCRIPTION:Abu Dhabi\n      \n        Sepang International Circuit\n\n        \n          \n            Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia                          • Map\n                      \n        \n\n        \n          First race1999\n          Races held20\n          Most winsSebastian Vettel (4)\n          Most wins (team)Ferrari (7)\n          Most polesLewis Hamilton (5)\n        \n\n        \n          Last 10 winners2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Max Verstappen2016 – Daniel Ricciardo2015 – Sebastian Vettel2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Fernando Alonso2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Sebastian Vettel2009 – Jenson Button\n          Last 10 poles2026 – Max Verstappen2017 – Lewis Hamilton2016 – Lewis Hamilton2015 – Lewis Hamilton2014 – Lewis Hamilton2013 – Sebastian Vettel2012 – Lewis Hamilton2011 – Sebastian Vettel2010 – Mark Webber2009 – Jenson Button\n        \n      \n    \nWhen was the track built?\nYas Marina was purpose-built on Yas Island as part of a large leisure development\, opening in 2009 after a lavish construction programme. The site includes a marina\, a hotel that straddles the track\, and a pit exit that runs through a tunnel beneath it\, all of which say a good deal about the design priorities. The layout was substantially revised in 2021\, with a tight hairpin section opened out and the slow chicane sequence removed\, specifically to improve a race that had become predictable. \nWhen was its first Grand Prix?\nThe Abu Dhabi Grand Prix debuted in 2009 as the season finale\, and has closed the championship almost every year since. Its permanent place at the end of the calendar has given it a disproportionate share of title deciders\, including several of the most consequential and contested finishes in the sport’s history. That slot also means the venue frequently hosts the sport’s post-season tyre and rookie testing\, so teams arrive with more data about it than most. \nWhat’s the circuit like?\nA circuit of contrasts that never quite hangs together as a whole. Two long straights joined by heavy braking zones dominate the opening half of the lap\, followed by a flowing coastal section around the marina and hotel that rewards rhythm. Downforce is medium\, brake demand is high given the two big stops\, and tyre degradation is generally modest with the track at its coolest in the evening. The 2021 revisions made overtaking meaningfully better\, particularly into Turn 5 and the following straight. Grip improves noticeably as the sun sets and the surface cools through the session. \nWhy go?\nIt is the season finale\, which gives the weekend an occasion regardless of whether the championship is still live\, and the event is built around comfort. December in Abu Dhabi is warm and dry\, the venue is spotless\, and the race runs from daylight into dusk which is genuinely beautiful. Concerts follow the chequered flag\, the island has theme parks and beaches for anyone not entirely committed to motorsport\, and Dubai is an hour and a half away. Expensive\, immaculate\, and an easy sell to travelling companions. \nWhere is the best place to watch?\nThe North Grandstand at Turn 1 covers the start and the first braking zone. The West Grandstand overlooks the long straight and the heavy stop at Turn 6\, where most of the overtaking now happens. The Main Grandstand gives you the pit lane\, the finish and the concert stage access. The Marina Grandstand offers the yachts\, the hotel and the sunset\, which is the view that ends up in everyone’s photographs. Sightlines are uniformly good and the facilities are the best on the calendar.
