The Fast Lane Returns for the FORMULA 1® MSC CRUISES UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX™ 2026: Watch LIVE & FREE on Tubi

Formula 1® heads to Austin on October 25, and Tubi's creator-led watch party is back with live reactions, expert commentary, and a new way to experience race day.

Set Reminder

Buckle up, Austin. Formula 1® is coming back to Texas, and this Grand Prix™ could come with a championship celebration.

Kimi Antonelli enters the FORMULA 1® MSC CRUISES UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX™ 2026 with a chance to clinch the title in Austin, giving longtime fans one very big storyline to watch and newer viewers a pretty good reason to pick this particular Sunday to join the race-day group chat. The teams still have strategies to defend. The rest of the grid has plenty to fight for. And the fans have approximately a million opinions about all of it.

Good thing The Fast Lane is ready for another round.

Following its Miami debut earlier this year, The Fast Lane LIVE: Austin returns to Tubi on Sunday, October 25, at 3:30 PM ET. Hosted by Michelle Khare and Justin Bell, the free race-day experience combines live onboard footage, driver data, expert commentary, and real-time reactions as the action unfolds. Whether you've memorized every corner of COTA or you're still figuring out why everybody keeps talking about tire strategy, there's room to join the conversation.

What to Expect From The Fast Lane LIVE: Austin

Formula 1® has its own language. Undercuts. Tire degradation. Track limits. Somebody mentions a safety car, and half the audience already has an opinion about whether the timing was suspiciously convenient.

The Fast Lane brings creators and motorsport personalities into the conversation, giving viewers another way to follow the decisions, rivalries, and unpredictable moments that make a Grand Prix™ worth watching.

Michelle Khare, best known for her Challenge Accepted YouTube series, brings an adventurous energy to the show. Former professional racing driver and commentator Justin Bell adds experience from behind the wheel, helping unpack the decisions drivers make at racing speed.

Austin gives them plenty to work with. Circuit of The Americas is known for its dramatic uphill approach to Turn 1, fast directional changes, and overtaking opportunities that can turn a single ambitious move into a very public problem.

The track demands precision. The drivers have 56 laps to get it right. The rest of us get to have opinions about how they do it.

Keep the Racing Excitement Going on Tubi

One Grand Prix™ can create a very specific problem: suddenly watching extremely fast vehicles go around a track feels like a perfectly reasonable way to spend the rest of your day.

Tubi's Sports collection keeps the competition going beyond Austin, with live sports, documentaries, and more ways to stay close to the action. Racing fans can also dig into Tubi's motorsports offerings, where speed, strategy, and the occasional very expensive fraction of a second remain part of the assignment.

Race day is only the beginning of the F1® rabbit hole. Our Formula 1® lore guide digs into the drivers, legendary rivalries, and racing history that make the sport so much bigger than what happens between lights out and the checkered flag. Think of it as your extra-credit assignment before Austin.

Episode 2 isn't the final lap. The Fast Lane is also scheduled to return for the Formula 1® Las Vegas Grand Prix™ 2026 on November 21.

Miami started the engines. Austin gets the next turn. Vegas is already waiting under the lights.
