2026 is a huge moment for Formula 1 that will see both the chassis and power units updated in the biggest overhaul of regulations in the sport’s history. (4:18)
One of Formula 1’s biggest ever rules refreshes is upon us, making ‘launch season’ more intriguing than ever as we get a chance to see the all-new cars before they hit the track.
The overhauled regulations — largely focusing on more agile cars and better racing — mean we are seeing an earlier start to preseason testing, and an earlier look at the 2026 machines than usual.
Usually starting in February, the car — or livery, to all you nitpickers — launches get going in January next year.
Here are all the pictures, and dates, of the reveals.
