IT'S RAWE CEEK! Welcome back to Formula 1, everyone! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the various holidays and having a normal sleep schedule on the weekends over the last few months. That said, I don't need F1 to mess with my weekend sleeping plans 😴
I meant to post earlier in the week about predictions for 2026, but I forgot/got busy/slept, so guess I'll just ask some here.
- Who will win this first race?
- Will our sole rookie this year, Arvin Lindblad (Racing Bulls), podium this year?
- Will Niko Hulkenberg get another podium?
- Will we hear Fernando Alonso scream about a "GP2 Engine" again?
- Which team wins the Constructors Championship?
- Does Lando Norris successfully defend his championship?
- If not, who wins the Drivers Championship?
Feel free to add any other predictions!

Schedule, starting grid, and other info.
Starts today at 1:40p EST (18:40 UTC). Literally just started as of this post.
In the US, I think it's on Peacock and NBC. Internationally (or with a VPN...) it can be viewed on YouTube.
I don't watch a lot of endurance racing, but I do try to watch the 24hr races like Spa and Le Mans. I've yet to stay up a whole 24hrs, and I doubt this year's Rolex 24 will be different for me, but it's a fun little challenge!
