The best Formula 1 races to attend in 2026: A Blend Group guide to luxury experiences
A Whole New Race in 2026
The Formula 1 season takes on a whole new dimension in 2026. With sweeping new Formula 1 regulations, arguably the most significant changes the sport has ever seen, Formula 1 is set for a dramatic shake-up.
Adding more drama is the arrival of a brand-new team: Cadillac. An 11th team on the grid will only add to the thrills, unpredictability, and excitement of the season. We can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
For ultra‑high‑net‑worth travellers, influential families, and corporate hospitality planners, F1 isn’t just a spectacle, it’s a gateway to premium destinations, exclusive luxury, and an opportunity to curate truly memorable moments.
From the glitz of Monaco’s marina to the bright lights of Las Vegas’ Strip, in this article we present our top F1 races to attend in 2026, complete with dates, our reasonings, and elite lifestyle attractions in each location.
Monaco Grand Prix 2026
Date
5 ‑ 7 June 2026
Track
Circuit de Monaco
Why it makes our list
Simply put, there’s no Formula 1 Grand Prix quite like Monaco. This technical and winding circuit is one of the most prestigious in the F1 calendar.
Since its first race in 1929, the tradition of Monaco has been matched by the extraordinary backdrop of the mountains, and the spectacle of the seafront.
As the decades have passed, the Monaco Grand Prix has become a hotbed for celebrities, VIP guests and luxurious experiences. Gala dinners, yacht parties, and private events surround the race weekend and are a key part of the Monaco experience.
Nestled within the principality’s winding streets and overlooking the Mediterranean, this race blends world‑class motorsport with international glamour.
Luxury attractions
Sure, you can watch the race from the stands, from a villa balcony, or even in the exclusive Paddock Club hospitality. But Monaco offers a unique opportunity to board a private superyacht in the iconic Port Hercules, perfectly positioned for race‑day views.
A memorable moment that would last far beyond the chequered flag.
Monaco also offers some of the best Michelin‑starred restaurants guests can imagine. As of this article, Monaco is home to 16 Michelin-starred restaurants, an extraordinary concentration of fine dining for such a small principality.
Le Louis XV, Alain Ducasse tops the list with 3 Michelin stars.
L’Abysse, Blue Bay Marcel Ravin & Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac own two stars each.
Summary
Monaco encapsulates prestige and has truly elite appeal. With the level of guests across the entire week, Monaco becomes a pinnacle event for networking and luxury experiences.
The only caveat we will add is the quality of the race itself. As the cars have grown, overtaking has become near-impossible around the track and can sometimes lead to uninspiring races.
However, with smaller cars in 2026 (because of the new regulations) and increasing efforts from organisers to add more entertainment to the race (two pit-stop enforcement) Monaco’s 2026 Grand Prix could be one of the most exciting in years!

British Grand Prix 2026
Date
3 ‑ 5 July 2026
Track
Silverstone Circuit
Why it makes our list
Not only is Silverstone Blend Group’s home race, making us slightly biased, it represents the history of Formula 1.
It is commonly known for having one of the best atmospheres of any Formula 1 weekend. The British fans take over famous grandstands at Becketts, Maggots, and the Stowe, perfect to watch high-octane racing and heart-stopping overtakes.
Adding to all the energy of a regular racing weekend, the British Grand Prix in 2026 will continue to feature the Sprint Race. Another opportunity to watch the best drivers in the world face off on a track that hosted the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship round in 1950.
Luxury attractions
Silverstone features the usual Paddock Club hospitality that regular fans will be familiar with. But 2026 will be the second opportunity to attend Lewis Hamilton and Soho House’s crossover hospitality – House 44.
The British Grand Prix is one of only 9 races that will feature House 44, and experience which launched in 2025.
This suite offers front-row views of the pit lane exit and the high-stakes drama into Turn 1. From this perspective, discerning guests will witness all the entertainment Silverstone has to offer.
Silverstone is located just a short distance away from England’s Cotswolds, or a private charter to nearby Oxford and Windsor for bespoke cultural excursions.
In previous years, we have organised helicopter transportation for Olympus members from Battersea Helipad. We make transport to Silverstone a simple and enjoyable experience.
Summary
The British Grand Prix is steeped with tremendous history and energy. Pairing this with a traditional stay in the English countryside could be your ultimate F1 experience in 2026.
For those who want to add even more energy onto the experience, world-renowned DJ and producer David Guetta will be a headline entertainment act for 2026 British Grand Prix music line-up.
According to the Formula 1 website, “The performance, on Thursday July 2, will mark Guetta’s only UK appearance of his global MONOLITH tour next summer, making his headline set at Silverstone a truly exclusive moment for fans”.
Another exclusive element to add to your bespoke memorable moment at the British Grand Prix in 2026.

Italian Grand Prix 2026
Date
4 – 6 September 2026
Track
Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Why it makes our list
The Italian Grand Prix at Monza, known as the ‘Temple of Speed’ is the home of Ferrari, what more do we need to say! Okay, we know that Ferrari didn’t exactly deliver the best performances in 2025. Unfortunately, Lewis Hamilton’s start in red didn’t quite go to plan either.
But the change in regulations could bring a change of fortune and quality to the oldest team in Formula 1.
Much like the energy in Silverstone, Monza is amplified by the Tifosi. A sea of red Ferrari supporters, fill the grandstands and forests around the track.
Another similarity to Silverstone in 2026 is the opportunity for discerning racegoers to watch the action unfold from House 44.
Three-day access to the suite, a guided tour of the track (subject to availability) and a pit lane walk is complemented by appearances from Lewis Hamilton himself.
For those particularly interested in high-octane racing, Monza isn’t called ‘Temple of Speed’ simply by accident.
It’s the fastest circuit in Formula 1, where cars race down the straights at over 350 km/h. Reduced downforce and full throttle strategies make for pure, flat-out racing.
Luxury attractions
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is just 40km away from the bottom of Lake Como, where luxury travellers can enjoy the extraordinary views alongside spectacular villas.
With a simple helicopter transfer, you can enjoy Milan’s exclusive penthouses and a city that is globally renowned for its fashion and design.
Indulge in Italy’s iconic cuisine through the 16 Michelin-starred restaurants spread around the Como and Monza regions.
Summary
Monza truly is a combination of timeless Italian style, motorsport tradition, and luxury. Therefore, making Monza a must‑visit for entertainment and culture fans in 2026.
Will you aim for the grandstand at the Variante del Rettifilo to witness the tight chicane? Or delight in the luxury of Formula 1 hospitality to make your trip an especially memorable one?

Madrid Grand Prix 2026
Date
11 – 13 September 2026
Track
MADRING Circuit
Why it makes our list
Making its Formula 1 debut in 2026, Madrid promises a fresh and dynamic urban Grand Prix experience.
Everyone likes new things, right? It is always exciting when a new race is added to the racing calendar, and Madrid will gain the attention of F1 fans around the world who are constantly seeking that latest experience.
Formula 1 racing has been in Madrid before, around 40 years ago when the circuit was located 30km north of the city.
However, in 2026 the purpose built MADRING Circuit will be far more accessible and central to the city. Therefore, allowing visitors to easily experience the thrill of Formula 1 alongside the attractions Madrid has to offer.
Luxury attractions
Madrid, Spain’s capital is an extraordinary city, featuring flair and culture. The Spanish city features colourful street markets, a world-class art scene and incredible museums.
If your interest lies in hip cafes, traditional tapas bars, and charming alfresco squares, you’re in luck! Madrid has all of these in abundance.
If you’re already thinking about the Spring sun in Madrid, we have a fun fact for you:
There are more cloudless days per year, around 350, than almost any other city in the world.
Whilst we can’t absolutely guarantee the sun (that’s slightly out of Blend Group’s remit for now) we can guarantee expertise to help you with a luxurious stay, fine dining suggestions, and enhanced experiences to make your trip a memorable one.
Sophisticated nightlife, private rooftop lounges, and VIP table service in the heart of Spain’s capital could all be on your agenda in 2026.
Summary
Whether it’s art and culture tours through the Prado Museum, exclusive access to elite performances at Teatro Real, or Michelin‑starred culinary experiences at DiverXO, Madrid offers incredible opportunities to pair with its first‑year Grand Prix destination.

Singapore Grand Prix 2026
Date
9 – 11 October 2026
Track
Marina Bay Street Circuit
Why it makes our list
It’s another Sprint Race! For us, Sprint Races add an extra opportunity for entertainment and experience.
Much like Silverstone, we count Singapore as our second home race. Blend Group has a hub in Singapore, and we look forward to the race when it comes around each year.
Singapore is also a night race spectacle, the first of six night races on the calendar. The Marina Bay Circuit lights up to provide an extraordinary setting for an iconic race.
The race is overlooked by the stunning Marina Bay Sands, a landmark 5-star hotel which rises above the city skyline.
If you want the F1 to be on your doorstep, this luxury hotel could be perfect for your trip.
Luxury attractions
The Singapore Grand Prix first made its appearance in 2008 and has since become host to a week of exclusive parties, high-level networking, and private yacht experiences.
What’s on the Menu in Singapore? There are three 3-Michelin‑starred dining experiences in Singapore. Les Amis, Odette, and Zén are the pinnacle Michelin-starred restaurants.
For shopping paradise, we recommend taking a walk down Orchard Road. The boulevard is filled with malls, luxury fashion, and well-known international brands.
Even if shopping isn’t quite your idea of a perfect time, it is worth walking down Orchard Road simply for the sights and atmosphere.
Summary
In 2026, the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix combines cutting‑edge urban luxury with high‑octane racing in the electrifying tropical setting or Singapore.
With so many experiences packed into one location, we see Singapore as a must-add to your entertainment agenda.

Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026
Date
19 – 21 November 2026
Track
Las Vegas Street Circuit
Why it makes our list
Since making its Formula 1 debut in 2023, Las Vegas has continued to redefine F1 entertainment with a spectacular night race weaving through the iconic Strip.
A race that you can only really appreciate by seeing it in person. We all know the allure of Las Vegas. The energy, the entertainment and the celebrities perfectly complement the Formula 1 roadshow.
Las Vegas has pulled the attention of those who previously attended Miami, favouring the pinnacle entertainment experience.
Luxury attractions
Naturally, there is an extraordinary amount going on away from the track. VIP suites and luxury resorts such as The Wynn, Bellagio, and Caesars Palace flood the Nevada city. No matter where you turn in Las Vegas, there is something to do, somewhere to see, and someone to meet.
If you’re looking for the pinnacle dining experience, we recommend the French cuisine at Joël Robuchon, MGM Grand.
Private tables at French restaurants, celebrity DJ nights at Hakkasan, and Haute couture experiences at bars and clubs, there really is a way to fill every hour of the day in Las Vegas.
With the Grand Canyon on your doorstep, why not enhance your Las Vegas Grand Prix experience with a helicopter tour?
Finally, Las Vegas is another House 44 location, if you are looking for a luxury way to watch the race.
Summary
We have picked Las Vegas as an unmissable moment in 2026 as it is a Grand Prix that doubles as a nightlife and entertainment destination. Perfect for anyone seeking corporate hospitality and high-impact brand experiences, as well as individual luxury travellers and thrill-seekers.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026
Date
4 – 6 December 2026
Track
Yas Marina Circuit
Why it makes our list
The final race, the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 season finale, where it could all come down to the last corner.
See the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as the Champions League Final, The Wimbledon Final, or Sunday at The Masters.
Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit lives up to hype with dramatic racing alongside desert opulence.
Over the past few years, we have seen Max Verstappen trump Lewis Hamilton to the World Driver’s Championship on the final lap, and Lando Norris reign victorious in the 2025 finale.
This circuit was built on a blank canvas, it has taken 11 years and $40 billion later, to turn this location into an absolute spectacle.
It features Seven hotels, Ferrari’s indoor theme park, a mall, a water park, a golf course, a beach, a concert arena and a nightclub.
Luxury attractions
The (almost) certainty of sunny weather aligns with a selection of luxurious hotels. Notably, the racetrack is overlooked by the W Abu Dhabi, part of the Marriott hotel group. This picturesque hotel offers 499 stylish rooms and suites with direct track and marina views.
The final race of the season is also home to the 9th House 44 hospitality suite. This opens the door to the best seat in the house for the final trophy celebrations of the season.
To complement your race weekend, why not charter a yacht in the Persian Gulf or go dune‑bashing luxury desert safaris.
For the fine dining connoisseurs, choose between three Michelin-starred restaurants in Abu Dhabi.
Erth, Talea by Antonio Guida, and Hakkasan offer an ideal way to round off your Abu Dhabi experience.
