The new regulations are here giving us the first glimpse at the next generation of F1.
The FIA has unveiled their changes to the regulations for 2026 and there are many major alterations to F1 racing.
The FIA say DRS will be available to drivers throughout the race rather than just when a driver is a second behind another one. In its place, a new system of Manual Override Mode will be available which grants drivers more electric power development to help them overtake the car ahead. The FIA say there is also an even split between internal combustion and electric power. The cars will also run on 100% sustainable fuel.While in previous generations, the rear wing was the only movable part, now both the rear and the front can be altered during a race during zones like those used currently for DRS.
The FIA have revised the front impact structure rules, introducing a two-stage nose design to mitigate the risk of detachment in initial impacts.FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulayem said: “Today, the FIA is defining a hugely exciting future for the pinnacle of motorsport with the launch of a comprehensive new set of regulations for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship and beyond.
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali added: “These regulations mark a significant moment in the future of our sport as we look forward to a new generation of car and power unit that aims to give our fans closer and exciting racing. The new sustainably fuelled hybrid power unit presents a huge opportunity for the global automotive industry, the drop in fuel has the potential to be used by cars around the world and dramatically cut emissions.
