The world motorsport governing body, the FIA, has revealed the direction the 2026 Formula 1 regulations are set to take.
The FIA is focusing on designing lighter and more raceable cars for the 2026 F1 season. The weight limit is expected to be reduced by 40 to 50 kilos, with a goal of creating more nimble cars. Changes in dimensions include a smaller wheelbase and narrower width. The reduction in car size could lead to less downforce and a decrease in aerodynamic load. The FIA aims to achieve closer racing with the new regulations, potentially with a revised Drag Reduction System (DRS) or an alternative mechanism.
