Forum / trending angle

On F1 forums and social platforms, fans often talk about the season in terms of ā€œX of 24 completed, Y to go,ā€ especially once the European leg starts and again in the lateā€‘season tripleā€‘headers. In previous years youā€™d see posts like ā€œ18/24: six more to goā€ or ā€œone to goā€ near the finale, which has become a kind of running meme in the community. Expect similar ā€œhow many races left in F1ā€ threads once the 2026 season gets underway, especially around the new Madrid race and the closing flyaway run.

TL;DR: As of late January 2026, the new F1 season hasnā€™t started yet, so all 24 races on the 2026 calendar are still left to run.
