Six months on, Formula 1 returns to Barcelona

Formula 1 returns to the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit six months after the current season began there with five days of pre-season testing in January 2026. The circuit hosted the initial test sessions that allowed teams to familiarise themselves with the heavily revised single-seaters introduced under new technical regulations. The F1 teams are now heading back to the Spanish venue for the next round of the 2026 season.
