Five BIG F1 changes coming in 2026

F1’s new era of 2026 cars is fast approaching and they will be VERY different.

I love how they say the “engines” are heavier than ever. No. The engines are smaller and lighter than ever. The batteries are heavier than ever.

[prathamkataria]

Drivers overtaking on straights using buttons to reduce drag and boost power rather than in the corners using skill. Yay! Can't wait to watch that

[npc]

fans: we want screaming v10s
F1 in 2030: full electric it is

[Everie]

"A new engine to add more HP!"

V10's and V8's: Look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power

[Taylor___]

Just happy with V10’s and sustainable fuels

[arthur]

10cm…. Dam so still juggernauts driving around Monaco lol

[Livlifetaistdeth]

I can already hear the disappointing engine note

[mrgalaxy]

The cars will be smaller, but still much bigger than what we had prior to 2017. The cars will be lighter, but still heavier than what we had prior to 2022. Instead of simplifying the cars to make the racing more exciting like they tried in 2022, they made a much more complex car with even more DRS gimmicks all to appease manufacturers that are trying to greenwash the public. I don't want to be overly negative before the cars have even hit the track, but this is not sounding promising at all.

I thought it will get smaller to the same size of the early 2000s' car. 🗿

[Toastybear]

This is so silly! Someone is working to the metric of “increase overtaking” which is just plain wrong. The quality of overtakes is nothing anymore. Nothing.

[francoiglesiascoqueti]

I would love to have the V10s or V8s again, with no electric engine. That's the fastest way to reduce the weight of the cars

[MrJoel]

No V10 - no give a damn about new regs. Sick of listening to vacuum cleaners. 😢

[stevenic]

Is it just me or every regulation change the cars start to look like Indy cars

[blueman]

I'm looking forward to seeing what Honda does as it enters with this new engine in 2026.

[RoboCop-znbt]

Small cars with 3.0 l v 10's is what the people want!

[Patrick]

so by this trend in 8-10 years will have Formula E

[presidentcovfefe]

So I’m guessing still sound like my electric shaver?

[waayyne]

why the heck is it 50/50 might as well call it a hybrid between fe and f1

[rockytalkndawoods]

Still haven't seen any publication that say fans want electric power.

[birderjohn]

Bring back the V-12. Racing is for entertainment.
