Japanese Grand Prix 2026 results
The Japanese Grand Prix was another win for Antonelli. He started on pole but had a poor start and dropped back. He then slowly made his way back through the field before a crash for Bearman brought out the safety car. Russell, the current race leader, had just made his stop but Antonelli was able to pit under the safety car and take the lead. He finished first ahead of Piastri and Leclerc and becomes the youngest ever leader of the World Championship.
In RealityF1 it was a six-way tie for the win in the Reality F1 Japanese Grand Prix. The team to have was Antonelli, Sainz, Mercedes and Cadillac. The best team for this race was Antonelli, Lawson, McLaren and Cadillac scoring 140.75 points.

Chinese Grand Prix 2026 results
The Chinese Grand Prix was the first sprint race of the season and George Russell picked up where he left off from Australia by winning the sprint ahead of Leclerc and Hamilton. In the Grand Prix it was Antonelli who took pole and, although Hamilton took the lead at the start, the two Mercedes were too strong over a race distance allowing Antonelli to take his maiden F1 win and Russell finished second ahead of Hamilton and Leclerc. It was a weekend to forget for McLaren as both drivers failed to take the start and also for Verstappen who had to retire.

Australian Grand Prix 2026 results
After all the hype and concerns of the pre-season testing we had a relatively exciting Australian Grand Prix with Russell and Leclerc fighting for the lead over the first part of the race. However, as expected, the Mercedes proved too strong and Russell and Antonelli took a comfortable one-two ahead of Leclerc and Hamilton in the Ferraris. Behind them Verstappen fought his way from 20th to finish sixth behind Norris. Piastri crashed on the way to the grid and Hadjar had to retire his Red Bull after a strong start.
In Reality F1 the season opening race in Australia was won by Matt Red with a team of Bearman, Bortoleto, Mercedes and Haas. The best team for this race was Verstappen, Bearman, and two Williams scoring 153.00 points.

Welcome to Reality F1 2026
Reality F1, the free Fantasy Formula 1 competition, returns for the 2026 season!
There have been significant rule changes for the 2026 season and the cars are smaller, lighter and use more electrical power than before. Gone is DRS and we now have active aero and a power boost. There have been three testing sessions this year (well, one shakedown and two official tests) but it's not clear who will be fastest in Melbourne. The top four teams (Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull) appear evenly matched but some could be sand-bagging. At the other end of the grid we've got Cadillac who are joining the grid this year and Aston Martin appear to be slow and unreliable currently.
In terms of the RealityF1 competition I've kept the budget for teams at £70M but, because of the significant rule changes, I've given you an extra free team change (4) this year.
The deadline for team entries (or changes to team components for the coming race) is 12 midnight GMT on the FRIDAY before a race weekend. So, in order to be eligible to score points in all rounds of the 2026 season you will need to register a team before 12 midnight GMT on Friday 6th March 2026. You can join after this date but won't score points for missed races.
If you played last season then you just need to log in and you can create your new team. If you've not played before then you'll need to sign up.
Game on!
