The 2026 Formula One season will feature 22 races, the seventh of which will take place in Montmeló in Spain this weekend.
The season was originally scheduled to have 24 races, but the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were postponed following the outbreak of the United States-Iran war.
The next battle for the title is scheduled for the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday, 14 June.
The lights will go out at 15:00 (SA time).
Lando Norris is the defending Formula One drivers’ champion while McLaren are the reigning constructors’ title winners.
