For those who have been waiting impatiently for the past few months: it's race week again! This weekend, the Formula 1 circus kicks off again, which means free practices, qualifying, and of course, the race on Sunday.
Race week always feels a bit different. More social media updates, more analysis, predictions, and discussions about strategy. Who brought the best upgrades? Who got their setup right the quickest? And perhaps the most important question: who will take pole and who will surprise during the race?
When does Formula 1 Australia 2026 start?

Will you be getting up early this weekend? Or will you mainly check the summary and highlights? Whatever your viewing style, one thing is certain: Formula 1 remains the best when it's actually race week.
Happy race weekend! 🏁
