Formula 1 2026 season to ramp up with Monaco, Barcelona, Austrian and British Grands Prix in next five weeks

Formula 1's 2026 season enters an intense European phase in June, with four grands prix — Monaco, Barcelona, Austria, and Great Britain — scheduled within five weeks. The early part of the season saw a slow start, with the first five races spread over 12 weeks and no races held in April after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian events were cancelled. The Monaco Grand Prix opens this busy stretch, with all nine remaining European rounds set to take place either side of the traditional August summer break.
