2026 Grand Prix
First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 2009. 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 modern layout added passing opportunities versus the old marina maze, but it is still not Monza.
Tyres
A mix of traction zones and a long back section. Management still matters.
DNF calls
Usually calmer than a street race. Opening lap plus reliability.
Fastest lap
A car still in the top ten with a free stop.
Podium
Championship context can change who pushes. Read the weekend, not only the title math.
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.
