Sources and corrections
Where Slipstream’s real-world driver, team, calendar, circuit and rules data comes from, when each set was last reviewed, a log of corrections and how to report one. Game ratings are fictional.
Real-world reference data
- Drivers
- Names, race numbers, team line-ups, nationality, date of birth, debut and biographies. Sources: Formula 1 driver directory. Reviewed 2026-10-19.
- Teams
- Team names, chassis, engine supplier, base, team principal, history and official team logos. Sources: Formula 1 team directory. Reviewed 2026-10-19. Team logos are stored locally for identification and belong to their owners. Asset attribution is listed in Credits.
- 2026 calendar
- Round order, Grand Prix names, circuits, race dates and sprint weekends. Sources: Formula 1 2026 calendar. Reviewed 2026-10-19. The game uses the original 2026 calendar as announced, with 24 rounds. Later real-world changes are deliberately not mixed in, so the live standings page can show a different number of rounds.
- Circuits
- Track length, race and sprint lap counts, corner names, first Grand Prix and circuit facts. Sources: Formula 1 circuit guides. Reviewed 2026-10-19. Track maps are simplified pixel drawings made for Slipstream, not surveyed layouts.

- Last year’s race winner at each circuit and the race lap record holder, time and year. Sources: Formula 1 2025 race results. Reviewed 2026-10-19.
- Real F1 rules reference
- Sessions, points, classification, penalties, flags and smaller 2026 rules such as livery coverage, cooling vests, driver numbers, the stewards’ right of review and Monaco. Sources: Formula 1 beginner guides, FIA 2026 penalty guidelines, The Race: 2026 livery and number rules, PlanetF1: Monaco two-stop rule removed. Reviewed 2026-10-26. Each entry states where Slipstream’s own rules differ from the real sport.
- Live F1 standings
- The real drivers’ and constructors’ championship tables for the current season. Sources: Jolpica F1 open results service. Reviewed 2026-10-26. Loaded live in your browser each visit, so it updates without a game release.
