Update Pole position#Top ten most Formula One pole positions if required, specifically if Leclerc or Alonso make their way into the top 10 or Verstappen scores a further 7 pole positions in 2026 (in most cases, no manual update will be required as the table uses {{F1stat}} and Hamilton's position in the table can't change in 2026)
Remove the "Most races without a pole position" record from Esteban Ocon#Formula One records if Ocon sets pole.

If something unusual happened, e.g. a 1-2 finish for German drivers, no European on the podium, etc, check the race report for the last time this happened and see if there's a statement there that needs to be updated or removed.

At the end of a season

Y = done at the end of the 2025 season; N = not (yet) done at the end of the 2025 season; * = partially done at the end of the 2025 season; = not (or only partially) done at the end of the 2025 season but now doesn't need to be done

Just before the final race of the season:
- Y Update the team article infoboxes to include new season details (drivers, chassis, engine, etc.), leaving the old season details in place.
- Y Update the driver article infoboxes to include new season details (team, car number), leaving the old season details in place.
- Y Update the "Formula One drivers from <country>" articles' infoboxes to include new season details (including countries with no drivers for the new season)

(It's recommended to do these updates before the new season fields are unhidden in the templates, so that the correct/correctly formatted information is already in place when the fields are unhidden, thereby avoiding well-intentioned but malformed infobox updates immediately after the completion of the final race of the season)

During the final race of the season, or immediately afterwards:
- Y Unhide the new season fields in {{Infobox F1 team}}.
- Y Unhide the new season fields in {{Infobox F1 driver}}.
- Y Update {{Formula One teams}} to include information from both the old and new seasons. See this version as an example.

(It's recommended to do these updates while the final race of the season is in progress, to avoid well-intentioned editors hacking the driver/team infoboxes or the teams template because they don't show their favourite driver's new team the second the race finishes)

Any time after the completion of the final race of the season:
- Y Update the number of Championship season which have been run in the lead of List of Formula One seasons
- Y Add the new season link to {{Formula One}} (but leave the old season link there too), see this version of the template as an example.
- Y Add new season information to team navboxes (e.g. {{McLaren}}) Old season information should be retained until 1 January.
- Y Update the "Last season" fields in the team and driver infoboxes to refer to the just-completed season (including de-populating the fields for teams and drivers who didn't compete in the just-completed season, but competed in the previous one).
- Y Update Portal:Formula One/Next Grand Prix and subpages.
- Y Update the heading of the old season "cars" template (change "that compete in" to "that competed in").
- Y Update old season car articles to say "was driven by" instead of "is being driven by".
- Y subst transclusions of {{LatestF1GP}} in old season car infoboxes. Suggest doing the substing by hand rather than using a tool like AutoWikiBrowser, which leaves behind lots of extraneous markup.
- Y Update the "Highest season finish" parameter if necessary in the "Formula One drivers from <country>" articles' infobox.
- Y Add parameter for next year in Template:Infobox F1 nationality and Template:Infobox F1 nationality/doc following the same style as for the current year (e.g. After the final race of 2026 add the parameters for 2027 following the same style as for 2026)
- Y subst transclusions of {{F1cstat|seasonposition}} and {{F1cstat|seasonpoints}} in constructor, constructor results and engine supplier results articles (don't forget AMR GP). Suggest doing the substing by hand rather than using a tool like AutoWikiBrowser, which leaves behind lots of extraneous markup. Consider leaving this until when the new season rows are added to the table, so the markup can be copied.
- Y subst transclusions of {{F1cstat}} in old season car articles. Suggest doing the substing by hand rather than using a tool like AutoWikiBrowser, which leaves behind lots of extraneous markup. Consider leaving this until the new season car article has been created, so that the formulas for number of races/wins/poles/podiums/fastest laps can be copied from the old season car article into the new season car article (of course, if the substing is done earlier, the calculations can always be retrieved from the old season car article history)
- Y subst transclusions of {{F1cstat}} in List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions
- Y Add the car of the Drivers' and Constructors' champions to Category:Formula One championship–winning cars
Once the new season "cars" template has been created
- Y Unhide the "next" link in the titlebar of the old season "cars" template
- Y Add the new season Red Bull and RB cars to {{Red Bull}} (i.e. the general Red Bull template, not {{Red Bull Racing}})
Any time after 00:00 on January 1 (UTC):
- Y Change {{Formula One circuits}} to list the new season circuits as "current" instead of the old season circuits
- Y Change {{Formula One Grands Prix}} to list the new season races as "current" instead of the old season races
- Y Update {{Formula One constructors}} to list the new season constructors as "current"
- Y Update the highlighted (= "current season") races and the year in List of Formula One Grands Prix
- Y Update the highlighted (= "current season") circuits and the year in List of Formula One circuits
- Y Update the tables in List of Formula One constructors
- Y Update the tables in List of Formula One engine manufacturers
- Y Remove old season info from driver infoboxes
- Y Remove old season info from team infoboxes
- Y Remove old season info from team navboxes and remove the navboxes from articles they no longer link to
- Y Remove old season fields from and add next season placeholders to {{Infobox F1 driver}} and {{Infobox F1 team}}
  (e.g. on 1 January 2026, remove the 2025 fields and add 2027 placeholders (the 2026 fields will already be in the templates))
- Y Remove old season info from {{Formula One teams}} and remove the navbox from articles it no longer links to
- Y Update {{Formula One reserve drivers}}
- Y Remove the old season link from {{Formula One}} (Note: for the last few years, this has been done just after the start of the new season, rather than on January 1. Perhaps it makes sense to leave the old season link in the template until the new season has started?)
- Y Subst the transclusions of {{F1 Drivers Standings}} and {{F1 Constructors Standings}} in the just-completed season summary article
- Y Update {{F1 Drivers Standings}} for the upcoming season (i.e. update the race links and clear out the results matrix)
- Y Update {{F1 Constructors Standings}} for the upcoming season (i.e. update the race links and clear out the results matrix.
- Y Add new constructors (chassis makes) to {{F1cstat}}. Optionally, subst transclusions of {{F1cstat}} for constructors who have not competed for the past 2 seasons (and who we don't expect to return), then remove then from the template. Don't forget the transclusions of {{F1cstat}} in {{F1estat}}!
- Y Update the calculations in {{F1estat}} based on the engine supply arrangements for the new season. Subst transclusions of {{F1estat}} for engine suppliers who will not be competing in the new season. Then add new engine suppliers and remove old engine suppliers from the template. (Note: Honda RBPT, Red Bull Powertrains and Renault have not been substed/removed from the template)
- Y Update the importance of drivers, constructors, engine manufacturers, circuits and Grands Prix in accordance with the importance scale for the upcoming season.
- Y Update the parameters in Template:Infobox F1 nationality and Template:Infobox F1 nationality/doc (i.e. on 1 Jan 2026 remove 2025 from Template:Infobox F1 nationality and Template:Infobox F1 nationality/doc)
- Y Update the "has/have competed in the YYYY season" statements in Y List of Formula One polesitters, Y Pole position#Top ten most Formula One pole positions, Y List of Formula One drivers who set a fastest lap, Y Fastest lap#Top ten drivers in Formula One history with the most fastest laps, Y List of Formula One Grand Prix winners, Y List of Formula One sprint winners, Y List of Formula One Grand Prix winners (constructors), Y List of Formula One drivers, Y Formula One engines, Y Formula One tyres, Y List of Formula One constructor records, Y List of Formula One driver records, Y List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions and Y List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions to say "set/due/contracted to compete in the YYYY+1 season" and update the bolding accordingly. Update the last season of competition for drivers/constructors that won't be competing in the new season.
- Y Update the "are competing in the Formula One championship in YYYY" statements in all the "<race name> Grand Prix" articles (e.g. Australian Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix, etc) to say "are competing in the Formula One championship in YYYY+1" and update the bolding accordingly.

Once the driver lineup for the new season has been finalised:
- Y Update the "Formula One drivers from <country>" articles. For countries with no drivers the relevant year parameter should read "None".
- Y Hardcode the "Last race" infobox field for drivers who won't be returning for the new season. Hardcode the "Last entry" infobox field for countries with no returning drivers.
- Y Subst transclusions of {{F1stat}} for drivers who have not competed for two complete seasons, or who have announced their retirement from F1 and add drivers who will be competing but are not currently in the template. Once all transclusions for those drivers have been substed, remove those drivers from the template (and template documentation). Articles where transclusion needs to be done is:
  - Y List of Formula One drivers
  - Y List of Formula One Grand Prix winners
  - Y List of Formula One polesitters
  - Y List of Formula One drivers who set a fastest lap
  - Y List of Formula One points systems
  - Y The articles on the drivers, including any "List of Formula One Grand Prix wins/pole positions by <driver>" articles.
  - Y Articles in the Formula One drivers by country series (on the all time sections when present and the infoboxes)
- N Subst transclusions of {{F1cstat}} for constructors who have announced their retirement from F1 and add constructors who will be competing but are not currently in the template. Once all transclusions for those constructors have been substed, remove those constructors from the template (and template documentation).
- N Subst transclusions of {{F1estat}} for engine manufacturers who have announced their retirement from F1 and add engines who will be competing but are not currently in the template. Once all transclusions for those engine manufacturers have been substed, remove those engines from the template (and template documentation). THIS TEMPLATE USES {{F1cstat}}. These need to be substed first.

- Y Add "new season" rows to the driver "Career summary" tables
- Y Subst transclusions of {{F1stat}} in the "old season" row of the driver "Career summary" tables (in theory this can be done any time after the final race of the old season, but it probably makes sense to do it when the "new season" row is added to the table, so that whoever does it can copy the "old season" row to create the "new season" row, before substing the "old season" row)
- Y Confirm or update the automated calculations using {{F1cstat}} in Team Enstone, Tyrrell Racing#Legacy and Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains#Formula One engine results

Just after the first race of the new season:
- Y Update the "set/due/contracted to compete in the YYYY season" statements in List of Formula One polesitters, Pole position#Top ten most Formula One pole positions, List of Formula One drivers who set a fastest lap, Fastest lap#Top ten drivers in Formula One history with the most fastest laps, List of Formula One Grand Prix winners, List of Formula One sprint winners, List of Formula One Grand Prix winners (constructors), List of Formula One drivers, Formula One engines, Formula One tyres, List of Formula One constructor records, List of Formula One driver records, List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions and List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions to say "has/have competed in the YYYY season". Update the last season of competition for drivers/constructors that are competing in the new season.
