No, there is no Formula 1 race today, Sunday, November 15, 2026. The championship is taking a scheduled weekend off following the São Paulo Grand Prix, with the next round set for Las Vegas on November 19–21.
Fans looking for live Formula 1 action will have to wait until Thursday, when the first two practice sessions take place at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Qualifying follows on Friday, before the Grand Prix on Saturday evening.
The break comes at an important stage of the season. Although Andrea Kimi Antonelli has already won the drivers’ championship and Mercedes has secured the constructors’ title, the remaining three Grands Prix will determine several other championship positions.
Why is there no F1 race today?
Formula 1 has a one-weekend break between the São Paulo and Las Vegas Grands Prix.
The Brazilian race took place on November 8, with Lando Norris winning for McLaren ahead of Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar.
The championship now moves to the United States for the final American round of 2026.
The break is part of the official calendar rather than the result of a cancellation or postponement. There are no Formula 1 practice, qualifying or race sessions scheduled for November 15.
Readers can also consult GRANDE PRÊMIO’s guide to the weekend without F1 for more details about the interval between São Paulo and Las Vegas.
When is the next F1 race?
The next Grand Prix takes place on Saturday, November 21, at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit.
The 6.201-kilometre street circuit features 17 corners and long straights, with drivers completing 50 laps under the city’s lights.
Las Vegas is unusual because its Grand Prix takes place on Saturday evening rather than Sunday local time. For fans in the United Kingdom, India, Australia and New Zealand, however, the time difference means the race will take place on Sunday, November 22.

What is still at stake in the 2026 F1 championship?
Antonelli secured the world championship at the Mexico City Grand Prix, becoming Italy’s first drivers’ champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953.
Mercedes subsequently secured the constructors’ championship in São Paulo.
However, Verstappen’s strong form during the second half of the season has transformed the battle behind Antonelli.
The Red Bull driver has outscored the Mercedes champion across the latest five races, strengthening his position in the championship standings.
As GRANDE PRÊMIO reported, Mercedes’ early dominance has diminished despite the team’s championship success.
Ferrari and McLaren also remain involved in important battles, while midfield teams are competing for positions that influence their final prize-money distribution.
Las Vegas will provide another opportunity to assess whether Red Bull can maintain its recent advantage over Mercedes.
What races remain after Las Vegas?
Three Formula 1 Grands Prix remain in the 2026 season.
| Grand Prix | Dates | Circuit |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | November 19–21 | Las Vegas Strip Circuit |
| Qatar | November 27–29 | Lusail International Circuit |
| Abu Dhabi | December 4–6 | Yas Marina Circuit |
The championship will conclude in Abu Dhabi on December 6.
