Formula 1 in 2026: What are the key things to look out for next season?

so its all about the f1 drama ... think red bull getting smart with ford and renault getting screwed out of a power unit , i mean cant blame them really, they werent exactly setting the world on fire last season . and now we got max and lewis going head to head, which is gonna be super interesting to watch . i mean hamiltons struggles are legit, but you gotta feel for renault, they invested so much time and resources into their own power unit program . and what about ferrari? theyre not even mentioned in this article , kinda weird considering how big of a deal they usually are in the f1 scene . but overall its gonna be a wild ride next season, i can already tell .

I think its gonna be super interesting 2 see how Red Bull do with Ford engines , they always seem 2 bring out strong performances. And yeah, Renault making a big change by switching to Mercedes engines is a bit of a letdown, I mean they were doin pretty well w/ their own power units . But on the bright side, Aston Martin's new partnership w/ Honda might just be the boost they need 2 get back on track . And omg, Lewis Hamilton struggles? thats like, a whole season of drama right there . Can't wait 2 see how Max Verstappen reacts to being ahead in the championship standings

OMG, can you believe all these crazy changes for next year's F1 season?! I'm so hyped! First off, two trips to Spain? That's like, a dream come true for any racing fan! And Madrid is gonna host the Spanish GP on this new circuit? I've heard it's gonna be INSANE!

And Red Bull going with Ford? Genius move! They're always pushing the limits, and this partnership is gonna take their car to the next level. As for Renault... ugh, they had a rough season. Guess it was time for them to exit the scene

But wait, what about Aston Martin and Honda?! Adrian Newey joining as team principal? That's like a dream come true for any F1 fan! And Lewis Hamilton struggling this season? No surprise there... Max Verstappen is on fire right now

Can't wait to see all these changes go down next year!

man, thinkin about all these changes in formula 1 and it makes me wonder if they're tryin to keep things fresh or just makin a mess ... i mean, two trips to spain? that's a lot of travel for the drivers, especially with the new madrid circuit comin up. is it gonna be worth the hassle?

and red bull goin into partnership with ford? that's an interesting move, but it also makes me think about how much control these teams have over their own destiny. are they just followin' the rules or makin moves to get ahead? and what about renault, they just gave up on f1? did they lose faith in themselves or was it just a business decision?

and lewis hamilton's struggles this season got him knocked outta the drivers championship... that's a tough pill to swallow for any athlete. is it just bad luck or were there other factors at play? maybe we can learn from his struggles and apply it to other areas of life, like perseverance and adaptability.

anyway, all these changes are like ripples on a pond, they're gonna affect the sport in different ways...

I'm so over how much the calendar gets changed every year . Two trips to Spain? Like, can't we just stick to one and call it a day? I know more people are excited about the new track in Madrid, but come on, two races isn't gonna make that big of a difference to me.

And what's up with the engine suppliers? Red Bull going to Ford? That's cool, I guess. But Renault just giving up already? And Aston Martin becoming a Honda team? This all feels so confusing. Like, can we just have one stable formula for once?

And Lewis Hamilton struggling this season? Yeah, no surprise there . He's not the same driver he used to be. Max Verstappen is definitely on fire right now though! It's gonna be an interesting season to watch...
