Antonelli has already sealed the 2026 F1 title and Verstappen won in Mexico - is there anything left worth watching this season?
Kimi Antonelli sealed the 2026 F1 title while Verstappen took the win in Mexico City, so the drivers championship is done with races still to go. I only started watching properly this year and I am wondering whether the rest of the season is just a parade lap now. Is the constructors fight still live, are there seats or records actually on the line, or should I just wait for next season? What would you still tune in for?

- Watch the constructors fight, not the drivers title
The drivers title is settled but the constructors standings are usually still moving this late, and that decides real money and prestige for the teams. Check the gap between second and third before each remaining race: if it is under 30 points, every pit stop still matters. Also watch the midfield seats, because a driver fighting for a 2027 contract races very differently from one cruising.
