F1 Australian GP live commentary and updates - FP1

F1 2026 starts here!

Hello there! So, here we are. And here you are. Formula 1's 2026 season begins this weekend - and, fittingly, we're kicking off Down Under at Albert Park.

FP1 will kick off in about 40 minutes' time. For those who avoided testing, you'll get your first look at F1 2026 - and for those who watched the cars in Bahrain, we'll get a first look at the true competitive order.

Are you excited? We certainly are.
