The FIA's 2026 regulations aim to significantly lighten F1 cars including the halo.
The FIA, Formula One’s governing body, is preparing a comprehensive overhaul of regulations, planned for the 2026 season. The modifications aim to address ongoing issues with car weight and aero-dynamics, ensuring the sport continues to evolve with technological advances and environmental considerations.
"The way we want to do that is related to what we've termed the 'nimble car' concept because we basically feel that in recent years the cars have become a bit too bulky and too heavy." The car's physical dimensions are also on the drawing board. The next-generation F1 cars will see a reduction in wheelbase—down from the maximum of 3600mm to 3400mm—and a narrower width, shrinking from 2000mm to 1900mm. These adjustments not only affect the car’s aerodynamics but also its visual and physical maneuverability on the track.
