If we had to list the rarest of commodities to secure in today’s world, we would surely start with Formula 1 Grand Prix tickets. After the dramatic conclusion to the 2025 campaign, you may spot an F1 driver in the wild (probably the Mercedes frontman vacationing in South Africa) before you can get your hands on race tickets. With the inventory selling like hotcakes (and rather expensive ones), and the sport’s growing popularity, securing tickets is becoming an extreme sport in itself. But what if we told you, you can watch the races while supporting your favourite F1 drivers from their grandstands in 2026? Think exclusive merchandise, discounted packages, and your favourite driver making an appearance at the grandstand on race day — these passes have it all!
Sounds too good to be true? Well, keep scrolling to know more about all the F1 drivers who have their own grandstands at their home Grand Prix races in 2026.
But first, let’s understand the difference between F1 driver grandstands and normal grandstands.
What is the difference between dedicated F1 driver grandstands and normal ones?
F1 drivers often collaborate with circuits to have dedicated grandstands for them, where they can curate a special experience for their fans and supporters. F1 driver grandstands offer a complete fan experience with special packages designed for them, which include exclusive discounts on tickets, freebies and goodies from the drivers’ merchandise collections, and an opportunity to see the drivers live as they make an appearance at their dedicated grandstand. Fans also get a chance to connect with other supporters and to be a part of a holistic experience built around their favourite drivers.
It is a thoughtful gesture from our beloved racers to give back and do their bit for their fan community back at home. After all, what’s not to love about an elevated F1 experience at an equal or lower price compared to the normal grandstands?
Let us now dive straight into the details about all the F1 drivers and their grandstands in 2026, including ticketing information, prices, package inclusions, and more.
Note: Buy tickets from legitimate sources listed in this feature, or from the F1 Ticket Store’s official website. You can also get access to ticket links from your favourite F1 drivers’ official Instagram profiles, and you can follow them for more updates on their grandstands in 2026.
All the F1 drivers who have their own grandstands in 2026
For the 2026 F1 season, five drivers will have dedicated grandstands at their home Grand Prix races with exclusively packaged tickets. If you followed the 2025 season closely and were rooting for the three title contenders, there’s good news on the cards for you. Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen will have their own grandstands at their home Grand Prix races this year.
So, without any further ado, let us get straight to the five drivers and their grandstands in 2026.
1. Oscar Piastri’s first-ever grandstand at the Australian GP
From dreaming about driving one of those fast cars as a kid to having his own grandstand, Oscar Piastri has come a long way in a short time span. The Australian F1 driver missed out on the world title by a small margin in only his third full season in Formula 1. However, the ‘Man from Melbourne’ is all set to go after the title again in 2026, with his home crowd supporting him from his first-ever dedicated grandstand at the Albert Park Circuit.

On 18 August 2025, the McLaren driver announced he will be having his first grandstand at the season opener in 2026, in collaboration with the F1 Australian Grand Prix. With the tickets available for the general public from 10 September 2025, it is no surprise that almost all the tickets to the grandstand are now sold out. But don’t lose heart, Piastri fans, as the single-day Friday passes are still available for sale with all the perks included.

Next on our list of F1 drivers who have their own grandstands in 2026 is Lando Norris and his iconic ‘Landostand’ at the British Grand Prix, which is also the Briton’s home race weekend. If there was one thing more iconic than Nico Hulkenberg’s first podium at the 2025 British GP, it was the sea of fans sporting Norris’s signature fluorescent colour, erupting with joy as their favourite driver won his home Grand Prix for the first time.

Norris, who debuted the ‘Landostand’ for the first time in 2025, was shocked by the lightning-fast sold-out response to the three enormous grandstands he secured for his fans. The driver went all out to make his debut grandstand stint a hit by including exclusive goodies in the package for all the fans, making an appearance at the grandstands, personally handing out merch at his first-ever Lando store merchandise pop-up, and also surprising fans by giving away paddock access passes to a few lucky supporters from the ‘Landostand’. Oh, and did we mention the grandstand was wrapped in Norris’s signature helmet design to the tee? Yes, that too then.

It was only natural that the F1 driver had to take a big step up from his first edition for the 2026 season, as he now holds the world champion title. The McLaren racer promised bigger grandstands and better experiences for fans, and they delivered another sold-out response. The tickets went live for the general public on 15 September 2025, and vanished within minutes. That’s one strong army backing the newest world champion!
Although the tickets are now sold out, we have listed the important details and alternate grandstands for you to be closer to the ‘Landostand’ experience below:

3. Max Verstappen’s grandstands at the Austrian, Belgian, Hungarian, and Dutch GP races
If you need any more reasons to be a Max Verstappen fan after the 2025 season, we can give you four very strong ones to love the F1 driver. We believe the ‘Flying Dutchman’ loves the number four way more than he loves his racing number three, as the four-time world champion has dedicated grandstands across four races on the F1 calendar, which are the Austrian, Belgian, Hungarian, and Dutch Grand Prix races. Yes, we were just as bamboozled when we found out, but the Red Bull frontman goes out of his way to do special things for his fans and supporters each year.
The racer’s home grand prix grandstand tickets (at the Dutch GP) are now sold out for the 2026 season, but with three more race weekends to choose from in 2026, any crowd is a good crowd to be at when you are a part of the intimidating sea of orange army fans.

The Aston Martin driver will have his own dedicated grandstand and fan zone named ‘Alonso Land’ at the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

5. Carlos Sainz’s ‘Grada CS 55 Grandstand’ at the Spanish GP (Barcelona and potentially Madrid)
View this post on Instagram
The Spanish phrase ‘mi casa es su casa’, which translates to ‘my house is your house’, is exactly the vibe Carlos Sainz’s ‘Grada CS 55′ grandstand offers since its first edition. With all the fans embracing the driver’s kit colours and merchandise, the Spaniard has been consistently curating a dedicated grandstand experience for his fans for the past eight years.
As Sainz switched teams and moved to Williams, he was unsure whether his fans would follow him to support his journey at the British side in 2025. However, the fans did not disappoint. Turning out in large numbers with the tickets being sold out within a couple of hours after going live, the ’55 Nation’ army strongly backed their hometown hero with pride and serenaded him with their united rendition of his favourite Sade song and fan anthem at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya. The ‘Grada CS 55’ grandstand will return in 2026, as Sainz continues to race for Williams this year. What’s more? You can sit back and wait for the racer to post updates (tentatively around March-April) and pre-register for access to tickets when he shares the link for them on his Instagram profile.
