Do you like F1's new regulations?

[UberBug]

Its like we return to 2015-2016 : fast on straight, slow on corners

[SavingTheUndesireables]

Crazy how the new regs are faster in the straights but lack the downforce for the corners, but makes sense because they reduced the front and rear wings along with the ground effect capabilities

[An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

So, based on that demo - they'll be about as fast as a 2024 Alpine. Got it.

To me the 26 regulations almost like just bring the V10 era car back, and it even looked like one.
smaller, slimer and narrower car, more agile, insane speed on the straight, but lack of insane downforce in the corner like the current regulation's car.
Sadly, we all now know the key to make a F1 car become an insane laptime machine is exactly the insane speed on the apex, but the smaller and narrower car do "looked" faster.

Red Bull 317kmh on the straights? That thing running monaco wings?

[rafale-fgeo]

It's like an F2 really boosted lol

[beastofackworth]

Looks like a backwards step for most people. Everyone wants close racing but we all look up to F1 as being the pinacle of motorsport with the fastest cars and these arent

[revelare_xvii]

It’s kinda coincidental how both Nascar and F1 are going for a “sacrifice speed for the sake of better racing” approach.

[epicmotorsport]

The FIA is so stupid: Active aero = Less slipstream in the straights and more dirty air in the corners. How are you gonna improve the racing? They don't know how to do racing cars properly.

The 1000hp is not true, they can't sustain 1000hp in a race when 50% of the power comes from batteries and now that they don't have the mgu-h to recharge it and they only have the rear wheels to regen it, they can't sustain 1000hp maybe in qualifying, and then their is the weight that the teams themselves say that is impossible to achieve with a bigger battery so their will be quite slow if the rules doesn't change

[ZedNinetySix_]

That is a comparison to the current top car (RB) I reckon by the time 2028 rolls over, the top teams would've gained much of the performance back in the new cars.

[DaleEarndhardt]

I like the new design with the size difference but I can’t help but wish they’d hold the cars at a level that’s truly pushing the limit. I want to see a car faster than the w11 & rb19.

[clutch]

That’s pretty optimistic in my opinion, I would be surprised if the 2026 cars are even within 5sec of current cars. What FIA promises and actually delivers are often very different.

[Gothicprincess]

Imagine if wec hypercars became faster than f1 2026 cars

[manythespeedrunner]

ok why does the F1 2026 car have DRS? (0:23)

[marcdoyon]

it will be interesting to see which drivers adapt quicker than others since this reg change seems to take some inspiration from the early 2000s cars

[Dirtlegacyreal]

Feels like the 2016 cars again. Massively quick in the straights, but slower than the 2017+ cars in corners.

[bluemutt]

They'll do anything but bring back the V8/10s lol. They need a hybrid+turbo setup to mimic a fraction of that eras power 😂 And let's not pretend like the hybrid system is actually going to keep that 1000hp for the entire race, maybe qualifying. Pinnacle of motorsport but we're worried about emissions for no reason

[fxture]

Us: *asking for the v10 to be back for 19 years now*

The FIA: *gives us a hybrid worse then the 2024 cars*
