Grill the Grid is a recurring digital quiz and entertainment series produced by Formula One Group, featuring the drivers of Formula One. First introduced in 2016, the series presents drivers with trivia-based and visual challenges related to Formula One.

Format

This series is done in a yearly structure that consists of short episodes, released via Formula One's official platforms. In each episode, drivers are challenged to complete tasks within time limits. These include naming race winners alphabetically, spotting altered images, identifying circuits, and answering geography trivia.

Points are earned based on the performance of the drivers in each challenge, with cumulative scores that determine the overall winner by the end of the season. Participants are from the current Formula One grid for that particular season.

Production and release

Grill the Grid is produced during a Formula One season, often alongside race weekends or during calendar breaks. The series is distributed primarily on the Formula One YouTube channel.
