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.The 2026 F1 calendar stands at 23 confirmed Grands Prix amid geopolitical disruptions from the Iran conflict, which canceled the Saudi Arabian race and initially Bahrain before relocating the latter to Sepang in Malaysia as the “Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.” Spain hosts two events with the new Madring street circuit debuting in Madrid in September alongside Barcelona-Catalunya, while Italy lost Imola and retains only Monza. Qatar and Abu Dhabi remain scheduled for late November and December but face a mid-September decision deadline, with Imola eyed as a potential European replacement if security deteriorates. Traditional hosts across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East form the core roster, though any further substitutions could introduce Portugal, Turkey, or additional Italian rounds before season’s end.
