Presentations and tests F1 2026: all the dates to mark on the calendar

It starts on January 15th. F1 is preparing to experience the biggest revolution ever faced at a regulatory level since in 2026 both the power units and the cars will change. Below is the updated calendar on the appointments given by the teams to find out about the shapes and colors of next season’s cars. At the moment the first appointment is in Detroit on January 15th when Red Bull and Racing Bulls will unveil the 2026 liveries at the Ford headquarters. Ferrari will be presented at Fiorano on January 23rd. On Tuesday 20 January Audi will present the 2026 car in Berlin, the single-seater that marks the F1 debut of the Four Circles company. The first winter testing session – behind closed doors – is scheduled for Barcelona from 26th to 30th January (but there will only be three days in which the teams will actually be able to run on the track), then we will move to Bahrain where the open-door testing will continue from 11th to 13th February and from 18th to 20th.
