After kicking off under a cloud of secrecy with a private test in Barcelona, Formula 1 2026 has lift-off with the start of official preseason running in Bahrain.
F1 is taking on a huge rule change this year, with the engines and cars overhauled for the upcoming season.
Such a shift means the pecking order is more intriguing than ever, with nobody truly knowing who ranks where heading into the opening race in Australia on March 8.
