With the cancellation of 2 races, what tracks would you want added to the 2026 schedule as replacements? in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Serious with a sprinkle of fantasy :)
I'd say stay in Japan and go to Tsukuba and make it a special weekend where they try out reverse grid (fastest qualifier starts last etc).
After that stay in the Asia region and race at Mandalika in Lombok, Indonesia!

I don’t really like that there is regeneration going on in fast corners instead of going pretty flat out.

2026 Barcelona "Shakedown Days" discussion thread (lemmy.world)

Formula 1 heralded a new era as a number of teams took to the track for day one of the Barcelona Shakedown, putting their new-look 2026 challengers to the test.

In a change from last season, all 11 teams have been offered the chance to gather crucial data in both Barcelona and Bahrain, with the Spanish circuit hosting a five-day shakedown. Each squad can only test for three of those days and some – including McLaren – have opted to wait until later in the week, while Williams will miss out entirely.

As the battle to maximise the performance of the smaller, lighter cars heats up, those who chose to venture out on day one clocked their first laps of the season at the Circuit de celona-Catalunya.

Hey people!

For the past 3 seasons i mostly have been taking care of the F1 weekend discussion threads (Practice, Quali, Race, Post race) which have been pretty fun!

Halfway last season it started to feel like a chore and after the season ended i needed time to think if i want to continue doing this for season 2026.

I would like to ask if there are people here that would like to help with making these threads and helping with moderating this channel since i am currently the only active moderator.
