Formula 1 Unveils 2026 ‘All To Drive For’ Campaign Fronted by Damson Idris

F1 casts 2026 as a reset powered by new machinery, fresh power units, new teams—promising greater unpredictability.

Overview

  • A new trailer released on February 22 features Damson Idris alongside all 22 drivers on the 2026 grid.
  • The campaign rolls out in 60-, 30-, and 15-second cuts across F1’s digital channels, broadcaster slots, paid social, and out-of-home posters in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Melbourne.
  • F1’s chief commercial officer Emily Prazer describes 2026 as the sport’s biggest shake-up, highlighting new cars, new engines, a new driving style, and a levelled playing field.
  • Technical regulations for 2026 include a near 50:50 split between internal combustion and electric power, smaller and lighter cars, and active aerodynamics replacing DRS.
  • The season opens in Melbourne on March 6, with the campaign positioning every lap as unpredictable heading into the first race.
