The best April Fools' Day pranks of April 1st, 2026

Invicta sees double

The team engaged in Formula 2 (where she is the reigning champion) introduced a new type of Formula 2, where the two drivers from the same team would team up: one at the top in a wheel-less Formula 2 car, handling the steering, and the other below, in charge of the accelerator and brake.
