Formula 1 has launched a fan-facing game that rewards race knowledge with a trip to the track: the new Higher or Lower challenge, powered by AWS, asks supporters to guess how many overtakes each driver has made across the 2026 season so far.

A simple challenge with a big prize

Players must predict whether each driver's overtakes tally in 2026 is higher or lower than the previous racer's, with fresh data points being released every race week. Correct knowledge of the season's mid-field battles could prove decisive, and every play earns entry into a draw for Grand Prix tickets to a race of the winner's choosing in 2027.

A game made for Zandvoort

The launch comes as F1 returns to action this weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix — a venue that has been the scene of countless battles over the years and is expected to deliver plenty of passing moves. The game asks a compelling question around the championship's halfway mark: Kimi Antonelli may lead the standings, but has he made the most overtakes, or has another driver quietly made more moves across the first half of the campaign?

More than a guessing game

Beyond the central challenge, the game is part of F1's wider fan-engagement push with AWS, using real race data to turn statistics into entertainment. As the paddock prepares for sprint qualifying and race action at Zandvoort — where Lando Norris admitted surprise at taking pole before conceding McLaren were 'not quick enough', and Max Verstappen explained his qualifying 'limitations' — the new game offers fans a chance to put their own predictions of the season to the test.
