Revealed: the theme for our 2026 calendar

We've selected 12 drivers/team and they are all, in some way, champagne tasters - yes, I did say this year’s theme was a little different, didn’t I?!

The theme centres around the podium - those glorious 3 steps that a driver may grace during their career. Hamilton has the most podiums, so he's in. Max Verstappen still holds the record of the youngest podium, so he's in, too. Prost and Senna together gave McLaren an incredible season of podiums with the iconic 1988 McLaren so they both go in.

Ferrari - they've taken more podiums than any other team, so they had to go in and what better than using an image of the legendary "Shark-Nose" Ferrari, driven by Ginther, who gave them their first podium of 1961 in that car.

Here’s a wee taster for you - 12 stunning images from our partner, the iconic Cahier Archive.
