Formula 1 Unveils 'Five Lights' Campaign Ahead of Dutch Grand Prix
IN · Published Aug 17, 2026
• Formula 1 has launched a global marketing campaign titled 'Five Lights' ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, scheduled for 21 August
• The campaign features a 90-second film with all 22 F1 drivers and a voiceover by actor Colin Farrell. The film, set to the track 'Reign' by UNKLE featuring Ian Brown, highlights the intense moments before a race begins. The campaign will run from 16 August to 13 September and includes advertising takeovers in major locations like Piccadilly Circus in London and Times Square in New York. This initiative coincides with the second half of the 2026 F1 season, which has already seen record-breaking attendance and engagement.

Impact & Risks

The campaign aims to deepen fan engagement and expand Formula 1's global reach, which already boasts over 830 million fans. With all 11 Grands Prix in 2026 sold out and six new circuit attendance records, the sport is experiencing unprecedented popularity. However, the high expectations set by such campaigns could pressure organizers to maintain or exceed these engagement levels, especially as the season progresses.
