Changes are coming to Formula 1, with a new set of both aerodynamic and engine regulations set to hit the sport in 2026.
Set out by the FIA, the new regulations will see a move to more agile racing machines – set to be a full 30kg lighter than the current F1 cars – plus an increase in battery power and a move to advanced sustainable fuels, as Formula 1 continues its goal to be Net Zero Carbon by 2030.
