F1 2026 Car Launches Start January 15—Here's the Calendar

The 2026 regs are a genuine reset—new power units, aero philosophy shifts—so these reveals actually matter beyond the usual launch theater. Teams are finally spreading announcements instead of bunching them all in one week.
F1 launch season is the only time the paddock pretends the cars they're unveiling actually look different from last year. At least 2026 has an excuse.
