The F1 paddock is gearing up for a major rule change for 2025, which will signal a new era for the sport.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has discussed the highly anticipated rule change facing the F1 paddock next year, involving a reset in aerodynamic and power unit regulations in 2026.
The shift in regulations threatens to shake up the pecking order, with Ferrari hoping the new cars will bring them closer to the front of the grid after their last title success in 2008.
While the current grid is tight, it is expected that the gaps will widen next year with the introduction of new cars.
Vasseur remains open to adjustments in 2027 if the gaps become too extreme, recognizing the uncertainty that comes with new regulations in F1.
Ferrari’s biggest challenge lies in starting afresh with a blank slate for both the engine and chassis, facing new tires, fuel, engine, chassis, and sporting regulations.
Despite the daunting task, Vasseur views this challenge as inherent to the sport and urges patience before judging the outcome of the changes.
