The 2026 Formula 1 season will start a brand-new chapter for the sport, with big rule changes, new engines, and fresh car designs. Fans everywhere are excited to know which teams will reveal their cars, when, and where.
The first confirmed launch is on January 15, 2026, when Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls will show their new cars in Detroit, USA, beginning what promises to be an exciting and innovative season.
The 2026 season will bring some of the biggest technical changes Formula 1 has seen in years. The FIA’s new rules aim to make the cars lighter, faster, and more eco-friendly. The new engines will use 50% electric power and 100% sustainable fuel, while the chassis will be smaller and more aerodynamic.
These changes are expected to make the racing more competitive and environmentally friendly, and that’s why every team’s car launch this year will be so important.
According to reports, the first confirmed event will take place on January 15, 2026. Both Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls will host a joint launch event in Detroit, Michigan, a nod to Red Bull’s new partnership with Ford. This will be the public debut of the Red Bull Ford Powertrains project, which will supply engines to both teams starting in 2026.
The launch will include the reveal of the new liveries and potentially the first glimpse of their 2026 car concepts.
After the car launches, teams will begin testing their new machines to prepare for the opening race. The 2026 pre-season testing schedule is as follows:
These sessions will help teams fine-tune their setups, evaluate new parts, and adapt to the updated power units before the first race weekend.
Once the car launches are done, teams will start testing their new cars to get ready for the first race. The 2026 pre-season testing will take place on the following dates:
These test sessions will help teams adjust their car setups, test new parts, and get used to the new power units before the season officially begins.
