- F1's 2026 aerodynamic regulations have been revealed. The cars will be 30kg lighter, 200mm shorter and 100mm narrower, with no DRS, replaced by active aerodynamics in front and rear wings and "override" mode to unlock more power to overtake. Carlos Sainz's deal with Williams is reportedly done, with the Mercedes and Red Bull doors now closed.

Carlos and Alex is such a strong driver pairing. Williams must build them a fast car
I hate to say it but Williams has not been able to deliver a "fast car" for a long time now
@colindupuis5585 they probably thinking about 2026 reg change that will put the power unit as main actor again ...
@@j3d89“possibility“. Mercedes top head who was part of hybrid era left in 2020. They are not strongest engined supplier anymore. Williams don’t have funds to build spare parts
Yeah I wish they could build a good car and maybe they do but I know more often than not we hear about how teams are waiting for this or that or a rule change and then we will make big gains and it rarely happens
@@colindupuis5585I have to agree with you. And how many times have we heard teams say they waiting for rule change or this or that and then we will be better? We hear it all the time and it doesn’t actually work out very often. I hope you and u are wrong I hope Williams can put together a better program and move up the field
I was hoping 2026 would include
3.0L V10
Grid girls
Hi, this is Agent Michael Ball of the Woke Police. Put your hands up and turn in your man card.
Bring back the grid girls
Sainz should have taken the early Merc deal.
Yep
Aye
Why take a deal where it’s only 1 year and team intends to bring on a new driver the following year to take his seat. If Williams is 1 year, Sainz certainly able to receive a longer extension.
@@officerholdmybeer He can show his worth with a half decent car at Mercedes, chance to fight for podiums or wins is more likely there, a slow car and team can kill a driver's career even in just one season, I'm sure he is aware Merc would be a short term plan, but it's not like he has many options. He is more sure to make a bigger impression there then at Williams, just sayin'. Audi is an unknown and Sauber...I mean Sauber really?
How do you know there was a deal on the table?
If DRS is a gimmick so is active aero they just replaced one for the other.
So is push to pass. But to be fair so are cars instead of running.
Generator engine, I hate it. I hate E power. I want full ICE.
ok
Haven’t even seen them yet
Bring back V10s
100000% 👍
So if consumer cars are mostly ev in the future will manufactures really want to create such a different race car than their production cars?! Serious question
feel bad for lawson. cant believe ricardo and checo have a drive........
Standard F1. Money over everything
Had to keep Max happy with the most useless teammate possible
@@stevenwitts6968plus the sponsors…
Yeah idk how checo got signed again. I like him as I like most drivers and teams but checo has flat out gotten pretty bad a lot of the time now. Sure he was crashed at Monaco but he was the one that qualified p18 to be back there to begin with.
Politics man… Liam deserves a chance!
If the engine are going to have to be running higher to generate electricity like Newey I think said about having to have high rpm’s in the Monaco hairpin wouldn’t they have to have more fuel in the car effectively negating in part the weight saving that will happen by making the cars smaller.
The question about the active aero is whether it is just a black & white case of it being fully open or fully closed ... if the rules allow for "partially open" the teams will jump on this ... and does the rules allow for the front and rear to to be open at different angles, independent of each other, changing the handling characteristics of the car in different parts of the track? It could turn into a massive focus for the teams ...
F1 in 1900's and 2008 Funtastic 1. In 2009 to 2013 Fun 1. In 2014 and now Failure 1.
Its actually called Arab 1 now. Since it seems the Arabs control everything in F1 now. Hindu 1 works too.
Not sure what Carlos Sainz should have done. Audi/VW could be a force in the sport in a few years, but I also believe James Vowels can turn Williams around.
X Mode is pretty much DRS on steroids. You'll see a similar rear wing opening coupled with front openings on the font wings. So saying no more DRS couldn't really be further from the truth.
New front wing looks sick to be fair.
Kinda pissed actually at all these F1 teams blocking Andretti. If they were in the mix it would mean two more seats and more capable drivers would get a chance. Sainz not being able to find a propper drive is just bonkers. God I hate stroll....
Electrical engineer: I wonder where X and Z sound familiar... XD
Saying we will never have lighter hybrids is a wild assumption!
It’s that said, bring back V10s
The rate at which hybrid/electric technology is advancing is mad fast, and F1 should rightfully be at the forefront of that development.
That said, yes, screaming V10s are also nice 🙂
Carlos vs albon will show how far alex has came
Or how bad Alex is.
@@nissan300zttExactly. Because if I had to bet, my money is on Sainz.
@@nissan300ztt I was just about to type that 😂
It will likely show the opposite I’m afraid. Alex is a nice guy, but Sainz will dominate him.
Mmm I dunno Alex has got some awsome racecraft . If it wasn't for lewis I think Alex would of stayed with RBR 🤔
It is possible to use overide mode to defend too its more like ers thn drs
This is just DRS 2.0. I don't like how its being marketed as "DRS has been removed" - it really doesn't look like it to me. It just been evolved into this "X Mode" and "ZMode" If it makes the racing better, I am all for it. Though, personally, I would just like to see a formula where the wings can stay still and the racing is still good. Call me old fashioned - a push to pass should be fine.
this isn't DRS, you can control teh wing, it adds strategy. DRS is the aero helping the person behing you automatically
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme Ok, I can agree on some points in terms of both drivers being able to control it rather than just one. - Good Point. However 🧐 If the "default mode" is full downforce mode, then when you switch modes, you are effectivley using a system which reduces drag. Which is an evolution of DRS. I would have much preffered them say we have changed the rules regarding the DRS and evolved/improved it. Just my 2 cents. Though as I said, I am all for the system itself - sounds interesting and if its better racing...well thats what we all want, right.
@@roughlytuned Plus I would rather have it be controlled by the driver than an automatic system
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme totally agree on that point. 💯
They will have that downforce back by silverstone 26
I don't understand why override mode would be less of a gimmick than DRS? It's exactly the same thing, just with a different mechanism for increasing the car's speed.
Very much interested in waggling my eyebrows at you all once again..
Sometimes new regs don’t look logical when they include bad or previously poor performing tweaks but I think that might be deliberate to encourage the best race engineers in the world to brainstorm their way to a solution that should ultimately benefit the whole automotive world…
Cars can be made smaller if they reintroduce refuelling also will bring in more strategy options
Think how much better the cars would be without all the weight they add for electric. These cars are tanks... The new car takes it from heavy to medium.
Refueling is to dangerous,can cause loss of life.
They will never do that again. It would be awesome, but I don’t think it’ll happen no matter how awesome it would be
@@Spyk27632 and so is driving a car at 200mph, other series do it just fine, minimum pitstop time when you refuel for example, easily can make it safe
@@gherbo1609 drivers are aware of risk,u must consider other staff and flammable liquids are dangerous for many others? Stop having tunnel vision and using nonsense examples.
Love how people say Merc are ahead on engine development, when nobody really knows who's got what. They aren't even finished yet.
I wouldn't discount Honda as they are best on the electrical side currently. Beware of the less vocal teams!
Doesn't like DRS overtakes but happy with push to pass 🤦♂️
I really like the idea of reverse DRS active aero. Giving the following car extra downforce to nullify the effect of dirty air in the corners is much better for racing than giving drivers a boring and magic overtake button down the straights. Would be more interested in that than override mode, but I'll have to wait until I see it.
Personally I think Carlos to Williams is a smart move.
We have seen many drivers over the years not accept a lower level seat and they end up never re-entering F1… but with Carlos, his strength as a driver is already shown, so going to Williams essentially gives him security with a seat to remain in the sport which in turn will keep his name in active conversations in the future market.
Not much narrower, should be 1800mm instead of 1900mm.
It’s never been about girth, it’s length. Current cars are same width siz as they were 20 years ago. It’s the length and above all. Weight.
Well, narrower would make for more space when they are side by side. Specially on tight circuits like Monaco.
Newey is going to be cooking 😂😂
i mean he and max talked more shit about these regs than anyone else.. idk why people think newey is gonna like the 2026 regs.
So isn't x mode kinda like DRS
Ah yes, the "let's try to nerf Red Bull" regulations are here.
Sainz provided a masterclass on how to overplay your hand 👌
I am all in favour of the new regulations which normally put a stop on the current dominance of a single team, so we race with pure driver skills and current regulations.
If those modes malfunction, it will be an almighty crash...
The new cars won't affect me as a fan because 2025 will be the end for me. I'm not getting up at midnight to watch these monsters, the whole hybrid thing was a wrong step from the beginning. F1 should have done one of their fan surveys on it.
They should put a supercapacitor on the new cars that is big enough to fully charge in 2 laps from the regen braking only. Be like 10 seconds worth of a pass mode or attach mode with it.
Hybrid needs to go
How is Overfide different from the "Overtake" button they have now?
they don't have the overtake since 2022
Branding😂
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme they certainly do, the drivers still have ot for extra energy
The dependency on the electrical element and battery deployment during the race makes Aston Martin seem very promosing as they will be powered by Honda in 2026. Calling it right now, Alonso WDC in 2026.
This is going to be an utter failure.
Push to pass? Why not just put light up power-ups on track next? Cheesy, arcadey, unprofessional. I hate push to pass in Indycar, and I'm sure it'll be worse in F1. "Pinnacle of motorsports" shouldn't have gimmicks.
Carlos waited to long to sort out his options
In IndyCar you get 200 seconds over the course of the race. It actually makes the racing better, because it gives roughly 50 more horsepower (that is a generalization, as it increase the boost of the turbo, so may have a bigger effect on one manufacturer engine than the other). The driver has to strategically manage it's use, and many times you end up with a situation where the leader of the race has exhausted the majority of their push to pass, and a charging car from behind has lots to use. It definitely makes the finish of races interesting in many cases. This deployment of extra energy is a step in the right direction, but it's only electrical which could be it's Achilles heel.
Damn, RIP sainz career.
V8>hybrid
not at all
They aren’t much smaller or lighter... I wonder how much of a difference it will actually make? Hopefully renewable fuels can get to a place so we can get rid of the need for the electrical side of the PU’s. Saying that I’m far more for a “push to pass” system than the DRS trains we get. Also if the floors are going to be this flat again can we taper to the rear body work of the car. Gives it a wired unfinished look. Overall it’s pretty disappointing. At least it’s in the right direction
at least the trend towards smaller cars began, better than nothing
F1 taking a page out of Indy car is an embarrassment to the supposedly leading car innovations!! 😂 F1 going backwards! shameful
True, but they have to. An IndyCar program costs between 7 -11 million a year. F1 costs well over 10x that. If F1 wants to keep the cost cap, they need to make things cheaper so teams have money to make improvements and prevent these eras of dominance. If you make the championship more about the engine, battery deployment, and strategy, it will be cheaper. Aero based racing is incredibly expensive to develop and update.
@@stayoffthemarbles6790 you clearly dont understand what f1 should stand for.
@Lovely-Liv I agree with what the OP is saying, but this is the hole F1 has put themselves in. I loved the 90s era of F1 where F1 was the pinnacle of motorsport in both racing and technology, but F1 is a victim of their own rules. They want to have very strict regulations and a cost cap to keep costs down to attract more manufacterers. They are also trying to increase competition and improve the spectacle. Indy racing has plenty of drawbacks but no one can deny it is much cheaper and way more competitive. If this is the direction F1 wants to go, why not take the best parts of proven race leagues? In my opinion, if F1 opened up the regulations and let F1 teams actually be innovative again we could have the best of all worlds.
16:40 Andrew Tate lol
With 50% battery, they should use override whenever. Make it strategy instead of another rule. 25% shorter and 25% narrowed. Then Monaco will work again, not to mention 100 other corners that become passing opportunities
So F1 followed Indy Car with Push 2 pass.
No DRS essentially was a push to pass when it was introduced but having it be effected by suspension tricks was unintended so now it’s being changed
What about KERS? That was essentially push to pass
Overtake mode and Kers with the then-new hybrid cars were close to that too
just FYI, P2P has been in F1 before Indycar.
@@AlwaysEwok I mean yeah. But this will be unlimited in essence. Allowing drivers to defend anytime their is a challenge. This will show drivers overall skill better than a DRS zone and detection point. We will see.
With a push to pass system how do they make sure the power increase is equivalent for each team? I feel like you could tweak the computers to give even more juice
I agree that the engine will take front row, this will suit Mercedes, Ferrari, Audi. It won’t suit Aston Martin using Honda engine from a marketing aspect, they can’t produce an engine for F1 , so how good are their engines in the consumer market. Different roles but public image is important!
The LME drive trains have been moving towards F1 specifications in recent years, so manufacturers such as Audi and Toyota could enter f1 drive trains. However, those manufacturers may prefer to stay in lme and let others develop Toyota engines in f1.
Still can’t understand the overide mode
Ocon has a huge offer to drive bumper cars at the amusement park 😅
If the rumors are true Saniz going to Williams, shows there there is a lot of growing development in the team. A positive driver line up. Williams are a team on the way up, they also deserve respect which the media don’t give the bottom two or three teams.
The prescriptive design rules with the cost cap makes no sense, let teams figure out what works best without going over the budget. Innovation is killed with the massively restrictive rules.
Also re ground effect it should like on the Lotus 79
That new power mode makes it feel a bit like a Mario kart game
Tbh I don't mind the hybrid , but I think it should not be as big , I would prefer something more similar to kers , but even less power from it , so it will be lighter .
Going to be very interesting and it's a step in the right direction in my opinion
Having active aero on all cars at all times only means the faster cars will get faster. This approach won’t encourage passing. DRS achieved this with only allowing the car behind to use. This has lead to a lot of great passing and strategies. Replacing DRS with an energy boost is okay but it’s not visible to the fans.
I actually have some faith in a much better Williams going forward with Dorilton money and James Vowles in charge. If they can upgrade their factory technology as Volwes is pushing to do and possibly woo Adrian Newey to come on board for a new challenge. They could be a player under the 2026 rules package with the Merc engines. I like the Sainz/Albon combo too.
now take the energy bs off and make them smaller again for 27. Then you have a 600kg car and 20 cm smaller.
the engine is already really small
They won’t change the engine again for a few years most likely
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme Your point being? The energy recovery system and battery are heavy. Take it off and the car will be much lighter.
@@8BitZ0mbie at least till 2030. I know. Its a shame tho, these big boats being called cars is laughable at best.
Is there not active area in WEC? Yep if it breaks, the drivers better notice!! You have to remember the safety that was introduced that increased the weight quite a bit, so not quite like with like in that list. Ocon to Audi now if Sainz has gone to Williams?
to many hype for new regulation lol, the car still more wide more big compare to 2010s, The people who belive FIA its was so funny , the track still the same, the car more weight and still wide compare to past lol
Williams?! 😖 The only team in the history of professional sports to finish 11th in a 10 team championship?! This is a tragedy and Freddie Vasseur has made a very uncharacteristic blunder with this decision and he will regret it! I am NOT uncertain the pairing of Leclerc and Hamilton is going to be a hysterical farce and Freddie's gonna look stupid for it, not to mention that Carlos Sainz is among the top 3 drivers on merit after Max and Leclerc. No driver in the field has accomplished more with less, than Carlos Sainz and his record bears that truth.
Williams might be a low key power move by Sainz. Those new regulations coupled with a seemingly strong Merc powerplant for 2026 might just be another McLaren story. Imagine if he got a championship in 26 with Williams. The world would explode.
Nothing was wrong with DRS imo.
Just want the cars louder, smaller, and have more paint.
F1 should go to go karts with these amount of rules.
Ocon has interest apparently from multiple teams, it depends how interested they actually are. We still believe Haas is the most likely of destinations, but of course that still may be unlikely if Haas don't want Ocon, which is of course possible.
This. This is peak motorsports journalism.
Active aero is the real big one, so excited to see what teams come up with (that said it needs to be done safely, noone wants to see flying cars, see the wild Lotus 72 car)
I hope that like the show car from 2021 the teams will come up with there own solutions. I remember Lewis saying he had looked at all the cars and felt proud that none of them looked like the awful FIA show car. Or like eachother. Just hope they all do it again. I must say I like the inwash front wing. With the end plates inline with the inside of the front wheels. More of a mid plate.
I think they should build two stroke engines for the cars apparently it’s possible with new technology
If you ditch hybrids, wouldn’t you have to go back to refueling?
From my understanding there’s DRS on front and rear wing AND push to pass
Not bothered how they look.Let them race and have a good championship 🎉
2026 engines will not be more powerful this is an impossibility with reduced fuel flow. The fia also promised they will be louder but that’s just incorrect.
Sainz to Williams looks like the best Choice .
The team now has real leaders
Albon isn't a fool and has locked it in.
Audi doesn't seem to be making any decisive action's "Renault 2.0" ?
THE BOTTLE CAP WHEEL COVERS ARE AN ABOMINATION. And no down force x still some ground effect = more roll overs and blown races from unpredictable air detachment over kerbs.
What is the point of F2 if you have to go to a lesser team for the first year in F1.... isn't F2 the trainer car? And as for Laim as a kiwi I feel for him RB have screwed him over he is definitely deserving of a seat in F1
Hopefully no one will have the “illegal software” that team Penske had this year in Indy that costed them their points lead. Cause we all know if let’s say Red Bull get caught using this software, it will just be a slap on the wrist.
I think it's great that the Hybrid loses power on straights. Deficiency leads to more strategy. Just like tire degradation.
I hope they call the Manual Override Mode.. “MOM”
Which team will have the best Mom?
How many cars will have their active aero working on their front wings after the first lap.
F1 2026 is a yoke.
The wings look like indycar downforce levels
if lawson is out of options in f1, then where can he go? indycar? he would need oval time to do that
I dont understand F1… they go back and forth with concepts and the justification of them. Its like a rerun of an old song
I don't understand Sainz, Audi were willing to give him everything, why not do a 2+1 then bounce if any vacancies open up elsewhere.
Unless Williams will attract heavy external investments, i don't think they can compete for 4 or 5th.
CONVOLUTED = BORING
No re fuelling? Meh. Worked great fo Jos verstappen. Well nearly
The easiest way to make the cars lighter and smaller is to make the wheels and tires lighter and smaller. But they are not going to do that of course.
It could be a smart move if Adrian newey also goes to williams.
Can they not just bring the 2007 cars
How is this less gimmicky? Seems ridiculous.
The original DRS had the movable elements in the front wing. The rear wings were those ugly skinny versions. Back to the future..
Yuki is out of contract in 2025 how can Red Bull hold him?
The moment Lewis announced he was going to Ferrari, there should have been a deal to swap Sainz and Lewis for 2024 instead, giving Sainz 2024 and 2025 at Mecedes, and also getting Lewis out of Mercedes asap. Something big must be going on at Williams for Sainz to sign for Williams. Maybe Newey is going there or a big buyer for Williams?
Mercedes engine dominating is not a sure thing. Too many people living in the past regarding Merc.
PLEASE NEWEY TO WILLIAMS PLEASSEEEEEEE
