2026 Grand Prix
First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 1987. 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
The last-sector DRS helps; the flowing first two sectors punish a nervous car.
Tyres
High-speed load. Balance and deg through the esses matter.
DNF calls
The first-corner pack and the Spoon/130R complex. Not a guaranteed double DNF track.
Fastest lap
A car still in the points with a free stop.
Podium
Qualifying is important, but race pace through the flowing sectors still shows on Sunday.
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.
