F1 set for talks over key tyre change
Formula 1 is considering dropping 18-inch tires from 2026 to reduce weight. The weight of F1 cars has been increasing, affecting handling. The FIA aims to make the cars shorter and lighter starting in 2026. The introduction of 18-inch tires last season added approximately 14kg in weight due to larger rims. Mercedes’ Chief Technical Director suggests lowering the weight limit to address the issue.
