Best Formula 1 Subreddits (October 2026)

Most Formula 1 talk on Reddit happens in a few big places, but the smaller communities are where the specialists are. We checked the communities Reddit returns for “formula1” and “f1”, kept the public, safe-for-work ones with at least 25,000 members that are still posting, and ranked the 8 that remain by size. Together they have 8.9M members.

How the Formula 1 communities compare

Membership is concentrated: the three largest communities hold 94% of all members on this list, so most of the Formula 1 conversation happens in a handful of places. r/formula1 is both the biggest and the busiest, with about 128 new posts a day. Per member, the liveliest is r/F1TV: 8.7 posts a day from 68.7K members — a smaller crowd, but an engaged one. Among the communities we track weekly, r/formuladank grew fastest recently (+0.11%, +1.3K members since Oct 19). The oldest is r/formula1, founded in 2008, and every community here is more than five years old — this is a long-established corner of Reddit.

Choosing where to post

Competition for attention differs a lot: r/F1Technical has 353.9K members but only about 1.3 new posts a day — roughly one new post for every 272.2K members — while r/formula1 gets about 128 a day, one for every 53.8K. A strong, well-made post therefore has more room to be seen in r/F1Technical; r/formula1 is better when you want quick replies. Jokes and memes have their own home in r/formuladank; the serious communities tend to remove them, so keep the two apart.

A simple rule of thumb: ask questions in the specialised communities and share your best finds in the big ones, where they can reach the most people. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
