According to the FIA’s single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis, the new 2026 technical regulations aim to rectify the mistakes made with the 2022 cars by introducing active aerodynamics and other adjustments to promote closer racing.
The planned regulations focus on creating a more exciting and challenging racing environment while aiming to level the playing field among teams with the cost cap in place for a longer period.
Tombazis believes that the changes will lead to a reshuffling of the front-runners in the sport and provide an opportunity for smaller teams to catch up to the bigger ones.
Teams will face restrictions on when they can start developing the new regulations to prevent early advantages, but they will need to prioritize and allocate resources effectively under the cost cap.
