Australian Grand Prix

Formula 1 is set to begin a new era in 2026, starting the season in Melbourne, Australia, at the Albert Park Circuit. Teams and drivers will once again travel around 13,000 kilometers from Europe to Victoria, but this time they will do so under new technical regulations that will reshape the future of the sport. As Official Logistics Partner, DHL plays a crucial role in this global movement, coordinating the transport of cars, equipment, and infrastructure across continents.

The 2026 season will introduce new power unit rules featuring 100% sustainable fuels and a significantly increased electric power component. The MGU-H system will be removed. The cars will also feature revised aerodynamic concepts, including active aero elements designed to enhance efficiency and racing performance. Additionally, Cadillac will join as a new American team, expanding the grid to eleven teams and signaling one of the biggest competitive resets in decades.

After Melbourne, the 2026 calendar continues with a more regionally optimized structure aimed at reducing logistical demands and improving sustainability while maintaining Formula 1's global character. DHL supports this effort through multimodal transport solutions and the use of sustainable fuels in its European truck fleet, contributing to Formula 1’s target of reaching Net Zero 2030.
