The next Formula 1 race after Singapore is the 2026 United States Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.
The championship takes a one-week break following the Singapore Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen continued Red Bull’s resurgence and Kimi Antonelli extended his lead in the Drivers’ Championship.
The American round is particularly significant because Antonelli can mathematically secure the 2026 Formula 1 title in Austin.

The race takes place on Sunday, October 25, at 15:00 local time in Austin, equivalent to 20:00 in the United Kingdom and 16:00 in New York.
