If an FIA Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix is held in a listed country between January 1 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the relevant market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purpose of this market, a race is considered "held" in a country if a Grand Prix that is part of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship takes place at a circuit physically located within the territory of the listed country and an official race classification is published by the FIA. The official name or sponsor title of the Grand Prix will have no bearing on the resolution of this market; only the physical location of the circuit will be considered. Exhibition events, testing sessions, and non-championship races will not count toward a positive resolution. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Formula 1 (https://www.formula1.com/en/results) and the FIA, however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Geopolitical tensions from the Iran conflict have disrupted the 2026 F1 calendar, postponing Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix and prompting F1 to evaluate European replacements or a Malaysia relocation, with a final decision expected in September. Madrid's new Madring circuit debuts as the Spanish Grand Prix venue through 2035, while Barcelona holds a rotational slot. Core hosts including Australia, China, Japan, multiple United States rounds, Canada, Monaco, Italy, Netherlands, and Abu Dhabi remain confirmed fixtures on the 22- to 24-race schedule. Potential additions or returns such as Malaysia are under active consideration, though Thailand, South Africa, and others appear more likely for 2027 onward amid ongoing negotiations.
