Ahead of this weekend’s hotly anticipated Formula 1 season opener in Australia, we take you behind the scenes of our 2026 Team Launch, giving you an access-all-areas pass to one of the biggest days of the year.

From how the event came together, including the MCL40’s journey to the studio, to Lando and Oscar’s hair and makeup preparations, their all-important pre-Launch snack, and, of course, the moment we finally pulled the covers off our 2026 challenger.
