Revealed: The FIA’s plans for "nimble" 2026 F1 cars and moveable aero
The FIA is implementing new power unit regulations for 2026, focusing on sustainable fuel and modified turbo-hybrids, convincing Audi and Honda to participate. Additionally, there will be significant revisions to the car design to improve racing quality. The FIA is aiming to reduce the weight of the cars by 40 to 50 kilograms by introducing smaller dimensions and reducing downforce. This will allow for lighter components and less strain on the suspension. In terms of aerodynamics, the 2026 cars will still utilize ground effect and efforts will be made to improve rules to enhance overtaking opportunities.
