2027 Formula One World Championship (Checkered's Universe)

The 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula One cars. This was the 78th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship contested over a record twenty-five races around the world. It began in March and ended in December.
Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. The reigning drivers' champion, Lewis Hamilton retired from the sport after his record breaking 8th World Title. The reigning constructors' champions, Mercedes were able to retain their title as Mercedes destroyed the rest of the grid in 2027 with their massive upgrades which allowed them to win 19/25 races between drivers, George Russell and Lando Norris. Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Carlos Sainz were the only drivers besides the Mercedes duo to win. Similar to 2016 with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, Russell and Norris had multiple run-ins that showed multiple tempers flaring, this allowed other non-Mercedes drivers to win in a season where Mercedes could have won the entire season.
