After the final checkered flag of the autumn flyaway races drops, the December offseason leaves motorsport households counting the weeks until pre-season testing and lights out. The Formula One 2026 Advent Calendar brings Grand Prix paddock energy directly to a living room mantel, sim-racing desk, or study shelf with a 24-day tabletop grid countdown.
Carbon-Black Grand Prix Box Art and 24 Perforated Reveals
Constructed from rigid paperboard with a continuous full-wrap graphic print across the front face and side spine, the upright collector box pairs carbon black and racing crimson with white snowflakes and black-and-white checkered flag corners. Beneath the bold red F1 speed-wing logo and stacked upper-right text reading Drivers / Teams / Circuits / Passion / All Year, a twilight circuit straightaway depicts open-wheel race cars charging past illuminated grandstands beside the lower-left motto A Higher Gear for a Brighter Tomorrow.
Across the front panel, 24 individually numbered perforated doors guide the countdown from December 1 through Christmas Eve under the banner 24 Days of Racing Surprises. Punching open a compartment door each morning reveals a freestanding three-dimensional miniature collectible permanently mounted on a flat, matte-black circular pedestal with a crisp white front nameplate.

22 Constructor Driver-and-Car Pedestals Plus Two Motorsport Emblems
Unlike single-pose figures, each of the 22 driver pieces depicts the racer in his constructor overalls holding a matching team helmet under his left arm, with a sculpted miniature open-wheel F1 car positioned across the front of the circular pedestal. The 2026 grid spans 11 two-driver constructor pairings: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in papaya orange, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari crimson, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli in black and teal, Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar in Red Bull navy, Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad in white-and-blue VISA suits, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in British racing green, Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto in pink-and-blue BWT suits, Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman in Haas black-and-red, Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz in Williams royal blue, Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto in Audi black-and-red, and Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas in Cadillac black-and-gold. Two sculpted motorsport pedestals complete the 24-piece lineup: a crimson-and-black FORMULA 1 speed-wing logo and crossed black-and-white checkered flags labeled RACING SPIRIT.

Because every piece balances on its own flat circular base without hanging strings, enthusiasts can arrange custom starting grids on a coffee table in December and keep the 24-piece paddock lined up beside a sim-racing monitor all season. Multi-sport collectors shopping for family members can also pair this Grand Prix countdown box with our NBA Legends advent calendar for a two-sport holiday display.
