  • This season marks the last of the current regulations, with completely new technical rulebooks on the way for the F1 2026 championship. Stefano Domenicali: Convergence will come.

The article from MSN discusses the upcoming changes to Formula 1 regulations set for 2026, focusing on the concerns and admissions made by key figures in the sport. Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of Formula 1, has acknowledged that the new rules, which include lighter and smaller cars, a move towards sustainable fuels, and a new power unit formula with a 50/50 split between internal combustion and electric power, might not be perfect. There's a particular worry about the balance between the electric and combustion engine power, with fears that the cars could be too slow on straights and too fast in corners, potentially leading to a lack of overtaking opportunities. Domenicali emphasized the need for ongoing dialogue with teams to refine these regulations, ensuring they enhance the racing spectacle while pushing the boundaries of technology and sustainability. The changes aim to make F1 more competitive and environmentally friendly, but there's an admission that adjustments might be necessary as the implementation date approaches.
