The summer break is finally over, meaning it’s nearly time for Alex to get back on track! With 12 Grands Prix still to come, there are plenty of opportunities for Alex to build on what has already been a challenging but exciting 2026 season.

The calendar takes Alex to some of motorsport’s most iconic circuits, alongside a brand-new challenge in Madrid. With three busy triple-headers to round out the season, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Here’s what awaits Alex for the second half of the season…

Dutch Grand Prix (Sprint weekend)

21-23 August at Circuit Zandvoort

First up is Zandvoort, where Formula 1 returns after the summer break to bring us another sprint weekend. The circuit is known for its fast, flowing layout and dramatic banked corners, making it a very different challenge to many of the tracks that come before it. With a sprint also on the schedule, there will be plenty of opportunities to score points across the weekend. With 2026 marking the final Dutch Grand Prix on the F1 calendar for now, can Alex start the second half of the season on a high?

Italian Grand Prix

04-06 September at Autodrome Nazionale Monza

Following a one week break from Zandvoort, we head to the Temple of Speed for the start of our last double-header this year. Monza is one of the fastest circuits on the calendar, with long straights, heavy braking zones and legendary corners such as Lesmo, Ascari and the Parabolica. Straight line speed will be crucial, while the long braking zones can provide some of the best overtaking opportunities of the season. Expect the cars to be running some of their lowest downforce configurations of the year as they chase maximum speed.

Spanish Grand Prix

11-13 September at Circuito de Madring

A brand new chapter awaits as Formula 1 races on the Madring circuit for the first time. The 5.4km track features 22 corners and combines purpose built sections with urban surroundings. One of the biggest talking points will be La Monumental, a 550m, 24% banked corner that will be unlike anything else on the calendar. With no previous race data to rely on, Alex will be heading into the weekend with plenty to learn.

Italian Grand Prix

Azerbaijan Grand Prix

24-26 September at Baku City Circuit

Next up is the unpredictable streets of Baku to begin one of three triple headers. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has become famous for producing unexpected results, dramatic incidents and late race twists. The circuit combines a tight, technical section around the old castle, where Alex will have to squeeze through a 7.6m wide gap past the medieval Baku Fortress Wall. Having previously scored here in 2024, Alex will be using his precision and experience to target another strong weekend this time around.

Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia

02-04 October at Sepang International Circuit

Yes, you read that correctly, the Bahrain Grand Prix is heading to Malaysia. Due to the cancellation of the Bahrain race, Alex will be heading to the iconic Sepang International Circuit for the first time in Formula 1! Sepang is a challenging, high speed circuit featuring long straights, sweeping corners and unpredictable weather. Heat and humidity will also place significant demands on Alex, while tropical rain could add another element of uncertainty. With Malaysia also just a short trip from Thailand, the return to Sepang provides another chance for Alex to race close to his home country and in front of fans from across Southeast Asia.

Singapore Grand Prix (Sprint weekend)

09-11 October at Marina Bay Street Circuit

Our last stop on this triple header heads to Singapore for another sprint weekend. The Marina Bay Street Circuit is one of the most demanding races on the calendar, with a bumpy street layout and high temperatures making it a huge physical challenge for the drivers. The unique night time setting has become one of the defining features of the Singapore Grand Prix, while the close walls mean safety cars can never be ruled out. Being a Sprint weekend, Alex has an extra chance to extract the maximum from his car. Also, as the closest race to his home country of Thailand, Alex describes Singapore as his “home race”, making the weekend a particularly special one for the Williams driver.

Azerbaijan Grand Prix

United States Grand Prix

23-25 October at Circuit of the Americas (COTA)

After Singapore comes the first race of a triple header in the Americas. The Circuit of the Americas in Austin features everything from the steep climb into Turn 1 to a long back straight. Austin has also become known for its huge atmosphere and passionate fanbase, making it one of the standout events on the calendar. Don't be surprised if you see Alex in a cowboy hat over the weekend!

Mexican Grand Prix

30 October - 01 November at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

We then head to Mexico City, where the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez provides a unique challenge. The circuit sits at more than 2200m above sea level, meaning the thin air affects everything from aerodynamic performance to driver cooling. The famous stadium section is also one of the most spectacular parts of any Grand Prix weekend, with fans surrounding the track able to spot Alex as he races through the Foro Sol.

Brazilian Grand Prix

06-08 November at Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos)

The final stop of this triple-header is Brazil, and Interlagos rarely disappoints. The historic circuit is short but fast, and packed with elevation changes while its unpredictable weather has produced plenty of memorable races over the years. The famous Senna S and uphill run towards the finish line provide plenty of opportunities for wheel-to-wheel action. With Alex looking to improve on his previous results in Brazil, Interlagos could be a crucial weekend.

Brazilian Grand Prix

Las Vegas Grand Prix

19-21 November at Las Vegas Strip Circuit

From the heat of Brazil, our final triple header takes us to the bright lights of Las Vegas. The Strip Circuit delivers one of the most unique weekends of the season, with the race taking place at night against the backdrop of the Las Vegas skyline. The track is dominated by long straights, meaning top speed will be vital, especially as the cooler November temperatures can make tyre management particularly tricky. And with the famous Las Vegas Strip forming part of the circuit, expect one of the biggest spectacles of the season.

Qatar Grand Prix

27-29 November at Lusail International Circuit

With the season nearing its conclusion, Alex heads to Lusail for the Qatar Grand Prix.The circuit is fast and flowing, with long, high speed corners putting plenty of energy through the tyres. Qatar will sometimes host a sprint weekend however 2026's event is a conventional Grand Prix weekend, meaning every point across qualifying and the race will count towards the final championship picture.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

04-06 December at Yas Marina Circuit

And finally, the season comes to a close in Abu Dhabi. Yas Marina has become synonymous with the F1 finale. The circuit features a mixture of long straights and slower technical sections, while the race's twilight setting provides the perfect backdrop for the final weekend of the year. If past seasons are anything to go by, this could be a very interesting race.
