2026 Grand Prix
First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 2004. These notes are for F1RaceDraft predictions — fan-made, not affiliated with the FIA or Formula 1. Length and lap counts come from our circuit file, not from live timing.
Overtaking
A long back straight supports DRS passes. The snail first sector is a different problem.
Tyres
Long corners load the fronts. Watch long-run balance.
DNF calls
First-lap packs. Not a high-wall street profile.
Fastest lap
A points car with a late push.
Podium
Race pace on the long straight plus the technical last sector.
P1, P2 and P3 are three exact calls. A driver who only “podiums” in the wrong slot scores zero for that place. Use the layout notes above, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page.
What to do with the notes
Overtaking, tyres, retirements, fastest lap and the podium are separate calls on the six. Read them as circuit character, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page. The notes are not a predicted result.
