Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has sought to alleviate the key concern over the 2026 regulations reset of performance disparity.
Next year, the regulations for F1 cars will be significantly changed, leading to a potential reshuffling of the hierarchy of teams on the grid. The 2025 F1 season was remarkably competitive, with seven drivers winning multiple races – a first in the sport’s history. Although there is concern that the upcoming changes may disrupt this competitiveness, Domenicali reassures that convergence will eventually come with the new regulations. The 2026 rules will introduce movable aerodynamics and a greater focus on sustainable fuel and electric power components in the power units. With the history of dominance and subsequent balancing in F1 following major regulation changes, Domenicali remains optimistic about the future of the sport. He emphasizes the importance of seeing the bigger picture and embracing the technological developments that will shape F1’s future.
