F1 fans will stand for nothing less than perfection, and when it came to a list of all 22 drivers competing in the 2026 season, another problem arose. <\/p>\n
\nI would like to preface this piece by saying, first of all, I’ve been there. When you’re making a graphic, staring at the screen for so long you can point out individual pixels and somehow you’ve forgotten to spell the word ‘and.’ Mistakes happen, we’re all human! <\/p>\n
\nIn an era when it is becoming increasingly different to spot what is real and what is AI, human errors can actually be a refreshing sign there is still a person behind the screen. <\/p>\n
\nSo, what happened then? Well, it all started with a New Year post from F1… <\/p>\n
Stroll? I’ll have a double please<\/p>\n
\nFor the first time since 2016, 22 drivers will line up on the grid thanks to the addition of Cadillac, and F1 decided to celebrate this with a swanky graphic<\/a> listing all the names racing in 2026.
<\/p>\n \nOnly, first time around of posting, one name was missing from the alphabetical list – Franco Colapinto. Poor Franco had been forgotten in favour of, not just one, but two Lance Stroll<\/a>‘s!
<\/p>\n \nNoticing their error, F1 took the post down, not before quite a few fans spotted the mistake and it circulated on social media.
