Become a Rookie in the 2026 F1 season. Choose your seat. Survive the paddock.
You are a brand new Rookie entering the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship.
The season is about to begin under brand new regulations. There are 11 teams and 22 seats on the grid. You will replace one existing driver of your choice — once chosen, that seat is yours for the entire season.
This is the real 2026 F1 paddock: full of pressure, politics, media scrutiny, rivalries, and high stakes. Every driver and every Team Principal is accurate and will be remembered.
Your journey includes practice sessions, qualifying, races, team meetings, media duties, and the real consequences of every decision you make.
The 2026 Formula 1 season was about to begin.
A new set of regulations had rewritten the rulebook. Eleven teams stood ready on the grid, twenty-two seats filled — for now. In the paddock, the air felt heavier than usual. Journalists lingered near the hospitality units, Team Principals exchanged carefully measured words, and drivers pretended not to notice the tension.
Rumours had already started circulating. A Rookie was coming. Someone was about to lose their seat.
The garage doors remained closed. The cameras were waiting. The world was waiting.
Only one question remained before the season could truly start: Which driver would the Rookie replace?
