From Lando Norris defending his crown to Max Verstappen’s future, Ferrari’s search for happiness, Mercedes’ redemption, Audi’s rise and Cadillac’s entry, we break down the character arcs that could define the entire F1 2026 season. Could this be the last season for Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, both? And what about Frederic Vasseur's time as Ferrari's Team Principal? How will Red Bull Racing fare without Helmut Marko and Christian Horner in their garage? Will Horner FINALLY get his nod to join Alpine as a shareholder and Team Principal? How different will Lando Norris be now that he's finally a World Champion? As for Oscar Piastri, can he finally mount a season-long challenge? Are Esteban Ocon and Nico Hullkenberg next on the list of F1's retirements, and what about Pierre Gasly? What does Isack Hadjar need to do to survive in that second seat at Red Bull Racing, and finally, will Toto Wolff continue to woo Max Verstappen? New F1 cars, new F1 rules and new F1 stories will see the characters of Formula 1 evolve in 2026.
