F1 Starting Grid Generator

HOW TO USE

Build professional Formula 1 starting grid graphics for race predictions, fantasy lineups, and social media content. This guide walks you through every feature of the grid generator.

The grid editor keeps positions, team colors, and numbering aligned with real broadcast layouts, so your exports feel instantly recognizable to F1 fans. Use it for preview posts, community polls, or quick visual breakdowns of your predicted race order.

STEP 01

Set the Race Details

Enter the race name and location at the top of the editor. This text appears on the finished graphic alongside the F1 branding. Use the official Grand Prix name or create your own custom event for prediction graphics.

STEP 02

Arrange Driver Positions

All 22 drivers are pre-loaded with their 2026 teams and official photos. Drag and drop to reorder drivers into your predicted grid positions. The layout automatically splits across two pages: positions 1 through 11 and 12 through 22.

STEP 03

Customise Drivers

Click the settings icon on any driver to change their name, team, number, or photo. You can add completely custom drivers for hypothetical lineups. Each driver row displays in their team colours with the official team logo.

STEP 04

Export Both Pages

Hit Export to download both grid pages as high-resolution 1440x1880 PNG images. These are optimised for Instagram carousel posts - upload both images as a single post for the complete grid presentation.

Tips for Great Grid Graphics

Keep race names concise - the text scales automatically to fit
Reorder drivers with drag and drop for quick grid predictions
Custom drivers let you create fantasy or historical grids
Both pages export simultaneously - perfect for Instagram carousels
Team colours update automatically when you change a driver's team

Why Fans Use the Grid Builder

The grid builder makes it easy to communicate complex race predictions in a single glance. It keeps typography, spacing, and team branding aligned with broadcast standards while letting you move fast when news breaks or when you need a quick social post.

Because the full lineup is preloaded, you can focus on narrative and analysis instead of asset hunting. That makes it ideal for creators who share weekly predictions, fantasy grids, or scenario drafts across platforms.
