Kimi Antonelli became the youngest-ever F1 world champion last weekend at the Mexico GP. But the battle for second place is very much on, with just 16 points separating Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Charles Leclerc. That battle continues at the Brazil GP this weekend.

Over in MotoGP, Marc Marquez will get his first chance to clinch the 2026 title at Qatar. There’s also the 2026 World Endurance Championship (WEC) finale coming up at Monza. Here is your complete guide on when and where to tune in from India.

2026 F1 Brazil GP schedule

F1 Brazil GP schedule IST

While Antonelli wrapped up the drivers’ championship at Mexico, Brazil is likely where Mercedes will clinch the constructors’ title, with the team currently 126 points ahead of Ferrari with four rounds to go. This means Mercedes will need to outscore Ferrari by three points to seal the title.

The battle for P2 in the drivers’ championship has also heated up. Following his race win at Mexico, Verstappen is now second overall, but Hamilton is just two points behind him. Russell and Leclerc also remain in contention, 11 points and 16 points behind Verstappen, respectively. 

Brazil will also see Rafael Camara make his F1 debut on home soil for Haas, replacing Esteban Ocon. For now Haas has only confirmed Camara for the Brazil GP weekend, since the 21-year-old is also leading the F2 championship and is slated to race in the final two rounds at Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

2026 MotoGP Qatar GP schedule

MotoGP Qatar GP schedule IST

It’s match point for Marc Marquez at the Qatar GP this weekend. The Spaniard has turned around the championship picture this season, going from being 102 points off the lead after the Italian GP back in May to now holding a 44 point lead.

He’s well on course to secure a historic eighth MotoGP title, and could wrap it up as early as this weekend. In order to do this, he’ll need to outscore Jorge Martin (who is nursing a broken wrist) by 30 points and Marco Bezzecchi by eight points.

Only 18 riders will line up on the grid at Lusail, after Yamaha opted to not send any of its personnel to Doha due to the ongoing geopolitical situation in the region. This means both, the factory Yamaha and satellite Pramac teams will miss the Qatar GP.

MotoGP Qatar GP: Where to watch?

All MotoGP Qatar GP sessions will be streamed live on FanCode. Fans in India can also catch the live TV broadcast on Eurosport.

Yes, fresh models is just what's needed.
Only if sales and service expands alongside.
