Formula 124 Formula 1 Driver Support Season came into Guea with a wonderful decision: Lewis Hamilton announcement that he would leave Mercedes and drive Ferrari to 2025.
In the following weeks, the pressure follows the sport as the driver Silly Season explodes. Several drivers eventually found new groups, some drivers found themselves outside and looked, and a handful of rookies joined the Grid in 2025.
Now, because of one decision, the driver market is about to start the campaign 2026.
That Decision? The F1 is legally informed the 11th party, relationship between Motorports and General Motors Competitions as a Cadillac group that starts 2026. That means two seats to be completed.
So let’s take the stock that the pilot line of 2026 driver looks before 2025 season.
What F1 F1 have two drivers signs in 2026?
As things are standing, six groups will be in Grid in 2026 with a full driver’s lineup.
Including Devicesed Acts’
Mclaren
Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri signed McLaren in the late 2026 season. Norris signed the new covenant “many” faced a group in front of 2024, which would last in increasing 2027. As for adverb “for many years, sign in her year of rookie, who will see the final year of her covenant.
Ferrari
Ferrari driver’s pair is set to the campaign of 2026. Charles Loclerc was put on paper on a new contract in January 2024 to keep Ferrari because of the “several” seasons. Regarding Lewis Hamilton, the contract signed with Ferrar for two years, with a third party. That means you’ll be at least 2025 and 2026.
Aston Martin
Both Fernando Alonso and Lance Strell signed during the 2026 years. Alonso signed a contract in April of 2024 to sit with a group at least 2026, and the ship was announcing the new group to keep him “2025 and beyond.”
Haas
HAAS is one of F1 groups new lineup of the 2025 season. Esteban Ocon joins the group after driving the alpine for the past several times, and Oliver Berman is one of the riots that joined a 2025 campaign grid.
Both drivers face haas running during 2026 F1.
Williams
When Hamilton decided to leave Ferrari beginning in 2025 – and Leclerc has already returned his money by Scudron – he made Carlos Sainz Jr. The largest free agent in the driver’s transfer market.
Impressions followed the Sainz from Track to Track, but Sainz finally threw lots on James Vonpes and Williams in a multi-year system “in expanding methods” at this time 2026 years.
That again in the last year of the new worker, Alexander Albon, signed in the spring of 2024.
AUDI
It is lost in the issues exceeding a cadillac joined the 2026 grid of the fact that the American party will not be a “New” team in Grid. The 2025 miles[2025 km]is illustrating the final Sauda campaign, before an Audi who takes that active as a group of activities in 2026.
But before the period of 2025, Audi wrote their pilot in the long term feasts. Nico Hülkenberg was reassured as the first Audi F1 driver in front of the Miami Grand Prix and signed with a team at 2026. As a rookie driver, and 2024 f2 driver champion, Gabriel Bortoleto.
What F1 teams have one open seat in 2026?
There are two groups of one open seat in 2026, each represents an exciting story.
Alpine
Let’s start with the alpine.
Esteban Ocon’s departure on the haas opened the chair next to Pierre, who signed a two-year agreement with a group of last summer to keep in Alpine in 2026.
Alpine is one of the groups pursuing Carlos Sainz Jr.
But Doohan calls for a one year agreement, and walking through the Alpine to add Franco Colapinto last year “Super-Super” as the Reserve driver around the shortest Doohan. Guess increased only in season 7 of the netflix docuseries Call to surviveDisplays the alpine thefior Executive Plavio Briatore telling a small Doohan “I control it. Every meters.”
From Dohan’s viewpoint, if he does a track, the chairperson may be 2026. F1, after all, an outcome based business. Called by name Call to survive for a reason. But if Doohan did not bring the results of Alpine demanded, we saw the convention – or anyone else – on that seat in 2026.
If soon.
The red bull
And so.
Max Verstappen signed a long agreement with the Red Bull back in the late 2022 season in 2028.
However, as we learned the first season, there are phrases in that agreement that allows vanappen to travel a group. Those clauses were incorporated during the imminent belt near the former Christian group Christian Horner, and allegations of misconduct is reunited by the Red Cop.
Mercedes Team Preteficat Toto Wolff, gained a vacant vacation, thanks to Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave a team in Ferrari, confirmed that he met Verstappen managers during the 2024 campaign. Verstappen is linked to Aston Martin, because of Adrian and Werey’s movement in this year group.
This is said, Verstappen continues to brush or rumor from the red stadium, and there is everything you are expected to have for the future.
As to who meets who worked, the red bull believes that they put that new story about a grill Pérez who last summer, but they moved different ways in 2025.
If Lawson does, the area can remain his in 2026. But if not – and as shown a red bull in the past – they are more determined to give another driver to shoot.
What F1 groups have two open seats 2026?
That leaves us with three groups without a driver that is dropped next year.
Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton’s departure opened a seat in Merceptes in the Mercedes in the midwife in the season 2025, one Toto Wolf finally filled with phanom Andlli, one of rookies joined the 2025 season Gridies.
But Antonlli is in a single year.
A colleague George Russell is not sure and 2026, since the last year of the agreement signed Mercedes by 2023.
According to Wolff, the party has options to choose both drivers, so IMerer may have been in the same harmony in 2026 who they do this season. Russell recently celebrated his 27th birthday in August on August on August on August in August in August, giving Mercedes a small driver.
However, if performance is not in the PAR for Wolff, the party has window elsewhere to be one – or both – seats.
Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team
We now turn to a red sister team.
VCARB begins this year with a Yuki Tsunada pair of Savar Hadjar, and Hadjar to jump from F2 Notenoda Relayed the Red Bull area next to Red Verstapen.
Both drivers are present in one banquet.
The red bull promotion can be on the table for one of these drivers if Lawon is Liam miles in the side of Vermaappen. But if Lawson is doing enough to keep his place, then what will vcarb do on this list of 2026? Hadjar may lead the second season, he gave his knowledge of his knowledge, but a few things about Tsenoda’s long-term Tsenoda’s longtime family is at the Bull Bull family. Talking back on December following Hadjar’s announcement to Vcarb, Horner brought Tsenada’s future. “We really know that if we can give the chance Yuki [at Red Bull] It’s all honesty this year, it does [keeping him on] You straight? “, he asked Horner.” You cannot have a driver in a five-year support group. You will never be a tribe. You should let them go then or look out different. “
Cardllac
That brings us to Cadillac.
The matters are legally allowed that the spot is in the Grid, guessing kicks higher gear above the drivers signing out of 2026.
And the party can start talking to drivers.
“There are some talented drivers there,” said Priteme Lowdon. “We couldn’t be in the driver market until coming in. Now, we can move forward with that.”
Are they likely to try and move forward with them?
When the proposed Cadillac-Andretti team announces their goals to join F1 Grid, Michael Andretti emphasized the All-American work.
And he had a driver in mind: The current driver of Indycar Colton Herta.
Herta is linked to moving to F1 in the past. Back in 2021 he was linked to Sauber to drive along Valtstertide, but the talks were broken and the group signed Zhou Guayuu in the 2022 season. HERTA was signed as McLaren’s development driver of the 2022 campaign, and he was linked to immigration. Lack of Required Points of F1 Super License Buck Bull Bull and wanted HERTA deliverance, but eventually the Governing Body of Sports denied the application.
But Herta comes his best time for Indycar, where he finished the second to drivers drivers in Alex Palou. She hit WIN WINs last year, first in Toronto and then Nashville Time, his first victory in Oval.
Finished 16th in the season opening St.thrix of St. Petersburg last weekend.
HERTA spoke to the media, including Nation of sb About potential F1 movement before the 195 Indscar campaign. But the driver brushed the sidens, no more of the results that he needed was ultimately secure the F1 Super license.
“I think that the answer is also that Math was a higher license, so if it happened, it was a decision,” said Herta, including Nation of sbin January. “If I am still wanted.
“I’ll be good anyway.”
Herror may not be considered firmly by cadillac, but there are other group contacts in 2026. Valdetti bottas, they received without Mercedes seat, option. So again, a former young lady holding Zhou Guam, who could have an internal mantra with the fact that Lowdon was part of his administrators. If Yuki Tsunoda saw his time he expired at the Bull Bull family, can be an option.
Then there are other current competitors of Hertycar. Both Pato O’ard warrior of Alex Palou is connected later in F1.
Wild Card?
What about Sergio Pérez?
Regardless of the cadillac eventually the symptoms, having many counters in a grid to fill 2026 to make it guess 2026 in the next few months.
If not.
