While it seems like yesterday that Lando Norris made history by clinching his first-ever F1® title, it’s almost time for the brand-new season. The 2026 Formula One World Championship races into action in March and we’ll be there to witness all the highs, the lows and everything in between. 

This year, we’ll also have exclusive access to the hospitality suites in the F1® Paddock Club at some of the biggest races in the calendar. Take your hospitality experience up a gear and join us for an experience you’ll never forget at the Chinese Grand Prix. 

When is the Chinese Grand Prix? 

Once again, the Chinese Grand Prix will be the second race in the calendar. It takes place on Sunday 15^th March, a week after the traditional curtain-raiser in Australia. The Formula One world will flock to the Shanghai International Circuit, where the race has been held ever since being introduced to the schedule back in 2004. As well as the main event, the Chinese Grand Prix weekend also features a sprint race, adding extra excitement to the event. 

While Oscar Piastri ultimately finished third in the standings behind McLaren teammate Norris and Max Verstappen, it was in China where his 2025 season got going. The Australian raced to glory in Shanghai to claim his first win of the campaign and it spawned a run of five wins in six races. 

While reigning champion Norris is yet to taste victory in China, the course is no stranger to British triumph. Lewis Hamilton has won the race a record six times, with his last Grand Prix win coming back in 2019. 

However, in 2025 he rolled back the years to win the sprint race in China and claim Ferrari’s first ever win in that format. Legendary driver Hamilton struggled in his debut year for his new team after making the move from Mercedes and he’ll be looking to repeat history this year and secure a seventh Chinese Grand Prix win in March.

When is the Barcelona Grand Prix? 

By the time we jet off to Spain, the F1® season will be well underway. This year’s Barcelona Grand Prix takes place on Sunday 14^th June and as ever, we’re set for a full throttle weekend of racing action. The race takes place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and is expected to be the final edition of the Barcelona event. 

This year’s Barcelona Grand Prix is the first of two races being held in Spain in the 2026 season. The Spanish Grand Prix is set to take place in Madrid in September, making it the first time two F1® races have been in Spain in the same season since 2012. 

Last time out, Oscar Piastri raced to glory, finishing ahead of McLaren teammate and eventual champion Lando Norris in second. The Australian’s triumph ended Max Verstappen’s run of three consecutive wins. In fact, 2025 was the first time that somebody other than Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton came out on top in 10 years. 

It was Piastri’s fifth Grand Prix win in the opening races and he looked to be in pole position to win his maiden title before Norris ultimately came out on top. Hamilton has triumphed at Barcelona six times in total, which is a record he shares with Michael Schumacher. The British legend last won it in 2021, his fifth on the spin. 

This year, Verstappen will be looking to reclaim his Barcelona title. He came 10^th last time in a day that summed up his disappointing season. The Red Bull maestro still managed to finish second in the standings but after four years of complete dominance, he fell way below his usual high standards. 

The F1® Paddock Club 

As well as all our usual hospitality options, the 2026 F1® season will also see Engage offer exclusive access to the F1® Paddock Club. Whether you’re entertaining clients or fancy treating your family to an unforgettable experience, you can enjoy the Barcelona Grand Prix from the best seats in the house. 

What does the F1® Paddock Club include? 

Join us in the F1® Paddock Club and you’ll be transported straight into the centre of the event. As well as luxury facilities, you’ll be given the chance to see the course up close, while getting a glimpse of the best drivers and their cars. 

Plus, once you’ve taken in the full F1® experience, we’ll wine and dine you with complimentary drinks from the open bar and incredible food from our high-end chefs.

There’s nothing quite like the start of a new Formula One season and the 2026 campaign is just around the corner. Lando Norris made history last time out as he held off strong competition from Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri to claim his first ever Drivers’ Championship. The McLaren driver will be looking to defend his crown and we’ll be there every step of the way.

You can join us in Engage’s hospitality areas at every single race on the calendar. Plus, for the first time ever, we’re offering you the chance to join us in the F1® Paddock Club. Engage have exclusive access to the best areas at some of the top races – join us at the Hungarian Grand Prix and so many more across the globe in 2026.  

When is the Hungarian Grand Prix? 

The F1® summer fun continues in Hungary, with this year’s race getting underway on Sunday 26th July. Taking place in a village called Mogyoród on the outskirts of Budapest, fans often make a weekend of it.

The Hungarian Grand Prix was first held in 1936 and became a regular race on the calendar 50 years later. After an extension to the deal, it will remain in the annual schedule until at least 2032.

Much like many other races around the world, Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most wins. The British legend has won it eight times, double the amount of Michael Schumacher who is next on the list. Hamilton’s last victory came back in 2020 and was his third on the trot.

Those wins from Hamilton contributed to McLaren’s 13 successes in the race, the most of any team. And that trend continued in both 2024 and 2025. Piastri came out on top two years ago before teammate Norris took top spot in Hungary a year later. Norris’ victory was McLaren’s 200th Formula One win and set him on his way to claiming his maiden world title.

When is the Madrid Grand Prix? 

For the first time in 45 years, the new season will see a Madrid Grand Prix. With the memories of summer still lingering, it’s set to be a scorcher on Sunday 13th September. The new race on the calendar is an exciting addition and it’ll be the home of the Spanish Grand Prix until at least 2035. 

A brand new circuit is being built in the Spanish capital, combining street sections with purpose built track. In fact, this is the first year since 2012 that two races will be held in Spain in the same season following the Barcelona Grand Prix in June. 

Oscar Piastri won in Spain last year to end a run of three consecutive Max Verstappen victories. But with a brand new course and unfamiliar surroundings, it really could be anybody’s race this time around. 

Lando Norris could claim his first ever win in Spain as he looks to defend his Formula One title. The British sensation secured his first Drivers’ Championship in 2025, finishing two points clear of Verstappen to end the Red Bull man’s four-year winning streak.

The 2025 Formula 1 season will be remembered as one of the most dramatic and competitive in recent memory, and at its heart was a breakthrough moment that has reshaped the sport. After years of narrowly missing out and battling at the sharp end, Lando Norris has finally claimed his first F1 World Championship, becoming the 2025 Drivers’ Champion in a nail-biting finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.  

In doing so, Norris ended Max Verstappen’s four-year title reign and delivered McLaren its first drivers’ crown since Lewis Hamilton’s debut title in 2008. Reuters 

Here’s a look back at the triumph, how Norris made history, and what it means for Formula 1 in 2026 and beyond. 

Historic Title Decider in Abu Dhabi 

The landmark moment came at the season finale in Abu Dhabi, where Norris secured the title with a strategic and composed third-place finish. While Max Verstappen took the race win, and McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri finished second on the day, season consistency and a razor-thin margin in the standings made all the difference. Reuters 

Norris ended the campaign with 423 points, just two points clear of Verstappen, who amassed 421 across the season. This historic duel brought the championship race down to the final lap of the final race, a rarity in modern F1 and a testament to how tight the competition was across 2025. 

The result made Norris the 35th world champion in F1 history, and only the 11th British driver ever to claim the sport’s top prize, a lineage that includes the likes of Jim Clark, Nigel Mansell and Lewis Hamilton. 

F1 standings for 2025

Position	Driver	Team	Wins	Podiums	Points
1	Lando Norris	McLaren	7	18	423
2	Max Verstappen	Red Bull	8	15	421
3	Oscar Piastri	McLaren	7	16	410
4	George Russell	Mercedes	2	9	319
5	Carlos Leclerc	Ferrari	0	7	242
6	Lewis Hamilton	Ferrari	0	0	156
7	Kimi Antonelli	Mercedes	0	3	150
8	Alexander Albon	Williams	0	0	73
9	Carlos Sains Jnr	Williams	0	2	64
10	Fernando Alonso	Aston Martin	0	0	56

A Season of Momentum and Resilience 

Norris’s championship journey wasn’t straightforward. The Briton admitted to early-season struggles with confidence and consistency, particularly in the first few rounds, but he found a rhythm mid-season that carried him into title contention. 

Across the year, he matched his own teammate Oscar Piastri with seven race victories, showing remarkable race craft and resilience against relentless pressure from Red Bull’s Verstappen. 

McLaren’s championship success was not limited to Norris, the team also clinched the Constructors’ Championship for the second-year running, highlighting a complete and competitive package from chassis to strategy. 

What This Means for Formula 1 

Norris’s championship marks a major shift in the competitive balance of Formula 1. Following years of dominance by Verstappen and Red Bull, McLaren’s rise, led by a driver who combines speed, intelligence and emotional composure, injects new intrigue into the sport. 

With regulation changes planned for 2026, many eyes will be on Norris and McLaren to see whether they can build on this momentum. Rivals like Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes are expected to push harder than ever, but the door is now wide open for a new era of unpredictability and excitement. 

For British fans, Norris’s title also reinvigorates discussions about the nation’s place in Formula 1’s legacy, continuing Britain’s rich history of producing world champions.

Looking Ahead to 2026 and Beyond 

Norris’s victory doesn’t just close the 2025 chapter, it sets the stage for a compelling 2026 season. With tight regulation shifts, new talent rising through the ranks and seasoned stars seeking redemption, F1 looks set for one of its most competitive campaigns yet. 

Stay tuned as we continue to bring you exclusive insights, hospitality packages and behind-the-scenes coverage from the world’s premier motorsport.

We’re into the home straight of the 2025 Formula One season, and the battle for the Drivers’ Championship is at full throttle. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri remains in command at the top of the standings, and with only a handful of races left, it’ll take something special for him to be denied his first world title. 

This weekend, all eyes turn to Brazil for the São Paulo Grand Prix, one of the most iconic and unpredictable races of the year. Known for its passionate fans, dramatic weather, and thrilling track layout, Interlagos has long been a stage for chaos, comeback drives, and championship-defining moments. 

The São Paulo Grand Prix 

Held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, the São Paulo Grand Prix has been a staple of the F1 calendar for decades. Set in the heart of Brazil’s largest city, the circuit’s unique elevation changes, tight corners, and long straights make it a true driver’s track, and a favourite among fans. 

The event’s atmosphere is unmatched. The grandstands are packed with diehard fans waving the famous green and yellow flags, creating one of the most vibrant scenes in motorsport. Combined with Brazil’s rich racing heritage, from Ayrton Senna to Felipe Massa, Interlagos always delivers something special. 

Weather often plays a huge part here too. Sudden showers can flip the script in seconds, leading to unforgettable races, from Lewis Hamilton’s dramatic 2008 title win to George Russell’s emotional first victory in 2022. With forecasts hinting at potential rain once again, we could be in for another classic this weekend. 

Last season, Max Verstappen claimed victory in São Paulo, but this time around, it’s McLaren’s duo of Piastri and Lando Norris who arrive as favourites. Norris will be desperate to close the gap on his teammate, while Piastri looks to edge ever closer to championship glory. 

F1 standings after 20 races 

Position	Driver	Team	Wins	Podiums	Points
1	Lando Norris	McLaren	6	16	357
2	Oscar Piastri	McLaren	7	14	356
3	Max Verstappen	Red Bull	5	11	321
4	George Russell	Mercedes	2	8	258
5	Charles Leclerc	Ferrari	0	7	210

McLaren’s dominance has defined much of the 2025 campaign, with both Piastri and Norris consistently finishing at the sharp end of the grid. Verstappen remains a threat, but Red Bull have struggled to match the Woking outfit’s consistency this season. 

With just a few races to go, Piastri holds a 1-point advantage over his teammate, and every race now counts. The São Paulo Grand Prix could be pivotal. A strong result for Piastri might all but seal his maiden championship, while a Norris win could keep the title fight alive heading into the North American leg of the season. 

The 2025 Formula One season has delivered high drama, close battles, and unforgettable moments, and the best may still be yet to come. 

At Engage Hospitality, we offer premium F1 hospitality packages at every Grand Prix on the calendar.

We’re into the home straight of the 2025 Formula One season and the Drivers’ Championship standings are hotting up. McLaren star Oscar Piastri is still in pole position and with eight races to go, it’ll take a disaster for him to lose the title from here. 

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes place this weekend and following that, all eyes will be on Singapore for one of the most spectacular races on the calendar. As one of the main events of the year in F1, the Singapore Grand Prix takes place at night, and its unique time makes it one of the most popular global races around. 

The Singapore Grand Prix 

Held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the Singapore Grand Prix is the original ‘night race’ in F1, making it one of the most iconic events in the sport. The nighttime spectacle was first held in 2008 and it’s traditionally popular both in-person and on television. 

Due to the glamour of Singapore, Formula One fans often flock in for the event, both to take in the racing action and to experience the stunning hotels, restaurant and nightlife that the city has to offer. Traditionally, around 250,000 spectators attend the three-day showpiece event. 

Meanwhile, with the race held at night, media coverage of the event is often huge. Due to the time, it takes place conveniently for the majority of people on the planet, making it one of the most-watched races each year. 

With the race held at night, it’s always aesthetically brilliant to watch, with the dark sky and neon streetlights providing the perfect backdrop to enjoy the gorgeous skyline of Singapore while the race takes place. 

Added to that, the race has often provided historical moments in the sport, including ‘crashgate’ in 2008, which saw Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr. deliberately crash in order to help teammate Sebastian Vettel win. 

Last time out, McLaren driver Lando Norris claimed victory in Singapore. The British sensation will be looking to repeat that feat this time around as he looks to make up ground on teammate Piastri, who has a maiden Formula One title in his sights.  

F1 standings after 16 races 

Position	Driver	Team	Wins	Podiums	Points
1	Oscar Piastri	McLaren	7	14	324
2	Lando Norris	McLaren	5	13	293
3	Max Verstappen	Red Bull	3	7	230
4	George Russell	Mercedes	1	6	194
5	Charles Leclerc	Ferrari	0	5	163

Following the Hungarian Grand Prix at the start of August, the drivers went on a mid-season break. Since then, there have been three races and the usual suspects continued where they left off. 

In the Netherlands, title frontrunner Piastri secured his seventh win of the season as he finished ahead of defending champion Max Verstappen. Meanwhile, Norris suffered a disastrous day as he ultimately finished in 18th place having been forced to pull out of the race during lap 65 after smoke began to emit from his car. 

That result threw a spanner in the works in terms of Norris’ title hopes, although he slightly made up for it a week later. In the Italian Grand Prix, Norris secured second place, finishing narrowly ahead of teammate Piastri. 

In a throwback to years gone by, it was Verstappen who came out on top, securing just his third win of the season. The Red Bull maestro has been so dominant in recent years, winning four Drivers’ Championships on the trot, but he’s struggled to get going so far in 2025. 

Following a full-throttle season and an exciting title race, we now have just eight races to go until we wave goodbye to the 2025 campaign. As it stands, Piastri looks set to finish in top spot and claim his first ever Formula One title. 

Norris remains his only competition but with 31 points separating the pair of them, it’ll take some big swings over the remaining races to change things. The competition resumes this weekend with a trip to Azerbaijan, before the long-awaited return to night racing in Singapore on Sunday 5th October. 

The circuit then crosses the Atlantic for four races in the USA, Mexico and Brazil, before heading back to the Middle East for the final two races of 2025. We offer premium hospitality packages at every single race in the Formula One calendar – enquire today to reserve your place.

After a spectacular show in London earlier this year, we’re gearing up for the main Salon Privé event. Fans of classic cars are set to flock to Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, for five days of vehicles, luxury and the ultimate garden party. 

As the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, the Blenheim Palace setting embodies elegance and the lawns are set to be transformed into one of the biggest car showrooms on the planet. From classics and supercars to vintage motors and brand-new hypercars, there really is something for every petrol head to marvel at. 

Throughout the week there are plenty of awards presented, with car owners rewarded for their stunning collections. Those in attendance can enjoy the luxury cars on offer before making the most of our exclusive hospitality options. 

Day 1 – Wednesday 27th August 

The opening day of the event kicks off with the Salon Privé Concours. An exquisite display of rare and classic cars lines the lawn, with daily parades showing off the best vehicles the show has to offer. 

Day 2 – Thursday 28th August 

The Concours continues on day two, giving guests more opportunities to see the cars up close. Additional parades highlight the best models, while day two also sees the presentation of multiple awards, including the People’s Choice. 

Day 3 – Friday 29th August 

The Salon Privé Friday can only mean one thing – it’s Ladies’ Day! Glamour takes centre stage as the ladies in attendance dress to impress. And that elegance continues on the lawn, with the arrival of supercars – expect a Bugatti Veyron display, plus the cars from the Blenheim GT Tour. 

Day 4 – Saturday 30th August 

The penultimate day of the event is known as Supercar Saturday. The North Lawn Club Paddocks becomes the home of some of the greatest cars around, while the Salon Privé Club Trophy by Lockton is awarded to the standout club car of the day. 

Day 5 – Sunday 31st August 

Blenheim Palace is putting on a special fifth day this year to mark the 20th anniversary of the Concours de Vente. For those in the market for a classic car, there will be plenty of models available for purchase. To make things even more exciting, Top Gear legend Richard Hammond will be in attendance, presenting the Prix d’Honneur award.

Dress code at the Salon Privé 

Guests are encouraged to dress to impress with a sophisticated dress code but there is no pressure to make your outfit too formal. While it’s a high-end event, it comes with a relaxed atmosphere. 

For the gentlemen attending, a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues is encouraged. Meanwhile, it’s suggested that ladies wear a summer dress, trousers or a jumpsuit. As the event is mainly on gravel paths and lawns, comfortable shoes are encouraged, with stiletto heels not recommended.
