Description: Formula 1's 2026 season has opened with the sport's biggest regulatory overhaul in history — a 50-50 combustion-electric power split, active aerodynamics, three new engine manufacturers — and three races in, Mercedes have already established dominant early control with 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli leading the championship at 72 points ahead of teammate George Russell on 63. The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were cancelled due to the Iran war, emergency mid-season rule changes were agreed following a dangerous crash linked to the new energy management system, and four-time champion Max Verstappen has publicly threatened to quit F1 over his frustration with the regulations. We break down every result, the championship standings, the ADUO engine development race, and what happens when Formula 1 returns in Miami.
