99% of F1 carbon footprints came from flights, trucks, and cargo ships that transported them around the world, therefore lowering carbon footprints is pointless unless they change their calendar.
valid point. But you can't underestimate the value of spectacle. Most viewers don't see anything else involved, just the cars on track. I know I can only speak for myself but many real automotive enthusiasts (not just super-car fanboys) value efficiency just as much as raw power. Seeing the premier motorsport shift to a supposedly cleaner more efficient power train can have an affect on the masses. I know for a fact I'm not the only car enthusiast, while not rich, don't see myself buying a car that can't achieve 20mpg.. maybe 18 for some nicer cars ;)
What i find so dumb is that they bring up the environment as the reason for hybrid engines. But they still add more races to the calendar. More logistics that would require to fly more planes and drive more trucks around
I feel like keeping the Turbo V6s also has a big part in how F1 Tech influences the automotive industry as a whole. Nowadays most people are just looking for the most fuel efficient and reliable car. With the increasing cost of everything, and more importantly, fuel, nobody really wants to own a complex, overengineered, gas guzzling V10/V12. So these big shot engine manufacturers like Mercedes, Ferrari, Ford, and Audi, don't see a reason why they should spend millions, perhaps billions developing a high revving V10/V12 if they're not gonna utilize it in their road cars.
@@PurelyPog Assuming that car enthusiasts even make up a minority stake in the whole lot of F1 fans, let alone the fact that the majority of us are broke lol
F1 needs hybrid. F1 is about technological excellence and innovation, not loud noise. Hybrid allows for much higher acceleration while keeping the cars super effecient by allowing for energy recupperation. Why would the peak motorsport league go back to 1960s technology? It doesn't make any sense. Although i do agree the push for "environmentalism" is just marketing bullshit.
Because it's all a marketing gimmick to greenwash a sport whose main source of emissions, is the logistics. Ironically, having 100% biofuel and no battery would be greener than what F1 is doing. Batteries cause A LOT of pollution to manufacture.
They should try to minimise the private jets used for reaching f1 event vanue and for top notch racing experience they should go for v10s again ... The carbon emissions from f1 drivers and fans and other celebrities private jet is much greater then that of f1 car
- The cars will be slower due to needing to keep the batteries charging constantly. Expect massively slower race lap times than qualifying. - Since everyone has DRS, there will be no draft, hence the dependance on electrical boost to aid overtakes... which means more charging. (If you wanted to make it easier to overtake, you would add drag to the cars and removing DRS. This allows for more organic overtakes. Look up the 1999 US 500 race. They installed a flap on the rear wing to slow the cars down, and offer 40-50kph drafting speeds at 350 kph.) - The cars length and width, without *significant* reduction in weight, only achieves a smaller floor area, reducing the best downforce. It also doesn't magically make it easier for cars to overtake. - Reducing the cars ability to generate downforce via the floor will make it harder to follow. - Shrinking the size of the tires will give the cars less free mechanical grip, making it harder to follow and harder to race side by side. - "Optimizing efficiency" is great for endurance racing and transport trucks. Not for F1. Formula 1 is about speed and technology. Not fuel and tire saving. - The majority of F1's carbon footprint comes from logistics, power grid usage at the tracks and maintaining the classy experience at the tracks. Not the cars. Charter flights for the teams. Make everyone fly economy. Ban driver's private air travel. Reduce wasted power at the circuits on things like a giant F1 sign at Las Vegas. Don't run night races any more due to lighting demands. Reduce plastic usage and wasteful fancy foods that are shipped in from all over the world. Use local. - 7:28 except Andretti.
1) The teams are gonna find a way to increase battery life anyway, so in a matter of time the cars will be as fast as before 2) There will still be X-Mode/DRS Zones that are ONLY for the straight parts of a track, and also this DRS is (Theorically) not activated by the battery, it actually helps to save the battery by getting less drag and making the car gain speed in said straights 3) 30 Kilos less for a car that is 10 Centimeters less large and 20 Cm Shorter is like losing 50 kilos on a 750 kilos car. 4) That's why they are modifying the other aero efficient aspects 5) Smaller tires are made to pollute less (You know the FIA wants to look forward in polluting less with the cars), also they interfere less with the full aero package of the cars, so if the mechanical grip is less, the downforce grip is theorically more. 6) In this case they do this to allow the drivers to push more during qualifying and races.
You make some good points, especially on aerodynamics (and yes IndyCar did a fantastic move in 1999!), but this is nonsense: "Shrinking the size of the tires will give the cars less free mechanical grip, making it harder to follow and harder to race side by side." It is a known FACT that less mechanical grip = easier overtaking. Just look at WET races - best overtaking ever. Also, less mechanical grip (or any other grip) means longer braking distances due to weaker braking and slower cornering speed, which all means more overtaking chances.
@amjan I guess you're right about the low grip. I was thinking about dudes hanging it around the outside. But... You're right. The lower the grip (within reason) it will allow cars to be side by side around corners easier
The fact that these races jump all across the globe is so silly. Should tour around the world (and end in Brazil) but no let's jump to and from the middle east cause some oil prince likes the attention during the ceremonies
Unfortunately probably not sound, we’ve come from the v12, v10, v8 and now v6 and the demand of the combustion power unit is no longer what it was previously since demand on the battery power is increasing in 2026. I can see these cars being 100% battery powered within the next 2 rule changes after 2026. It would actually simplify the system and you’d have electric motors on each axle. If they placed the battery system low and spread out enough maybe it could lower center of gravity too. That would mean engine manufacturers would actually have to battle to produce the best battery and electrical system. But overall I think the system would be more reliable with cooling than a hybrid system where 2 components would fail. Yeah it’s sad we won’t hear those old f1 noises but it’s just how things are moving unfortunately
F1 is a playground to test and develop technology for the future which will eventually trickle down to consumer grade vehicles. Since the future is going to be mostly electric or hybrid, there is absolutely no reason at all they would go back to ICE.
Funny thing is they have renewable fuels they can use. The issue is that major car manufacturers are appealing to the average consumer, who has no knowledge of the fact that motorsports account for very little of the world's pollution. And associate "hybrid" with "eco friendly"
Getting rid of that battery would be great. But, i understand that the world is moving forward and to attract manufacturers, they need to continue with it. Its a crying shame, really. We just have to accept that Formula 1 is past that stage. All we can do is, hope for a better sounding car, and better unpredictable 'no-saving' racing.
No. LMP1H which was the best regulation in motorsport history (just in the wrong series as the money to sustain it is in F1, not in Le Mans). Only wish F1 would allow different engines as well. Porsche would join with their V4 from the 919 I guess (tho the Audi engine is based on a prototype Porsche built as they were serious about F1 at some point).
The weight gain was never a safety reason, in your graph, the spike from 2005 to 2011 was when they added KERS and 2011 to 2014 was when they went full hybrid i.e. they added more batteries to the cars, around 80kgs from 05-14, the 30kgs from 14 to 17 was the halo which is a definite safety improvement, not sure what 19 added when they simplified the front wings then but maybe the additional side impact structure, and I guess the 50kg in 22 was from the floor becoming more 3d and need the reinforcements Also what do you mean by 100% sustainable fuels, like full synthetic easy to produce with easily renewable sources or did they plant some tree or built some carbon capture crap
The spike from 2005 to 2011 was when the cars were made humongously larger and longer, as well as a lot of extra safety components. It wasn’t the KERS alone
You sir, do not know what you're talking about. While hybridization did increase weight, a large porportion was in fact safety. The halo being one obvious one.
Its more that we have road cars now going completely hybrid, and with those EU rules coming soon, banning manufacture of combustion engines. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news mate, but I think all combustion V8s, V10s and V12s are not coming back unless some big changes happen which are unlikely. But hey, to give you some hope, germany is protesting the idea of banning all combustion.
@@WestgateShelby Those politicians are globalist pawns spreading misinformation. It will not work. People are thankfully waking up to their evil shenanigans.
If anything, they should change their schedule so they go around the world instead of across. Would help the drivers and team with jet lag, and reduce carbon emissions from planes and moving parts.
They supposedly want them to be racier, but not quicker avg. lap times, generally. More of the power is battery, less engine. Meaning you have to slower overall to go faster in bursts.

The new manual override button I think will be better than DRS because DRS is free to use while the manual override increases energy deployment for a short bit at the expense of losing that energy for later in the race. This will incentivise drivers to overtake as quickly as possible, which will hopefully reduce boring DRS trains
Honestly, active front wing is just going to be causing so much problems. Compared to a fixed front wing, the amount of performance you will lose if the active part stops functioning will be ridiculous and potentially dangerous, all types of balancing issues. I really think the active stuff is not the smartest thing to implement, but let's see how it goes I guess.
it's on the teams to make sure their car works, lmao this is like saying, "idk about the engine man, the amount of performance you will lose if the engine stops functioning will be ridiculous and potentially dangerous"
@@junyutan2172 it's more about how front wings are already prone to getting damaged easily during a race, and now if they get damaged with the active aero, it will just be even worse
@@eedoamitay3341I don’t see the problem. Don’t damage your wing then… they lose performance today if their wing gets damaged. Replacing shouldn’t take any longer with a blind mate style connector
They should keep the current balance between ICE engine and electric motors using half electric half ICE would impact a lot the car's performance, a great solution to that would be to switch to renewable and less harmful fuels like the ones being used by the WEC
Wow I am really impressed by this video and all the details informations. The virtual effect made a huge difference in understanding the future 2026 formula 1. Hat's up 🙌🏿
And I suspect that before mid season, the aero parts in front na in the back of the front wheel will be changed as they proved to be to exposed to contact.= with other cars
I still think that making the "active" front wing is not the best idea. Many racing incidents showed that front wing is the one, that's being damaged the most. In this case aerodynamics would significantly "crash" after front wing damage.
Amazing visualizations and over all great video content!! :D Possibly the best F1 content I ever saw! (And I saw a lot and as a designer I'm also picky when it comes to the style) 🤩 You won my Addiction ;)
I dont understand the reduction in ground effect. The current cars can follow closely fairly well till the tyres go off, surely downforce that isn't affected by dirty air is better. All the teams have pretty much got a handle on it and the bouncing is all but gone. I think to get good close racing we need ground effect cars with hard tyres so you can follow closely and push without the tyres go off and losing the chance of a pass after a couple of laps. Look at the early 2000's cars with the hard tyres they could push lap after lap like it was qually but dependency on wings for downforce stopped them getting as close as they could have. What would also help with racing is if they stopped adding dull narrow street tracks with no room to pass or make mistakes. They need more real tracks instead.
Tell me what you want guys But they are literally just bringing back the old 2000's F1 cars with an hybrid engine. And Honestly? I'm Looking foreward to it. High nose cars, really low ground effect undertray, the clean sidepods... They are re-introducing those design choices we were used to see in the late 2000's, expecially during the 2006-2008 period, with some changes yes, but I really love these new designs. (I'm begging for Ferrari to bring an F2002/F2004 styled livery)
F1 really needs to stop crowing about its sustainable / net zero carbon efforts. As soon as they stop the fleet of cargo aircraft and diesel trucks, then let's talk. And the schedule should be updated to make a simple loop around the planet rather than jumping from continent to continent for each race.
The active aero is just a more fancy DRS as far as I have seen so far. More tactical use will only be possible if there is a limited number of uses and drivers can decide when to use them in those zones. Otherwise it's just DRS
First of all, great video! Secondly, unfortunately the weight loss isn't good enough to produce light and nimble cars. The 2026 cars will still be heavier than the 2021 cars, which were already quite heavy. If the cars can get back to at least 2018 weight, that would be a bit more of an improvement.
Batteries are heavy. Mode x,z,s,f,o,b will end up being a,s,c,b,t,h,g,w and so on , very artificial denying real racing. What is the point of ditching all the active suspension,EBS, DAS system if we go for other aids ?
you’re not really making an argument about how the new regulations improve overtaking. I'm not sure I see why the low drag configurations of active aero would help since both the attacking and defending cars will be using them on the straights. won't even add any tactical depth as you said, everybody will use the best mode for each track section, no strategy involved. it kind of feels like you are bringing things up without backing them with a technical analysis
I think they are trying to make it like NFS powertrain system. Where the driver can hit a button for boost and recharge it back for the next. Cant use NOS since irl NOS cant be recharged while driving. So they come up with this rechargable electrical powertrain
The active aero is very interesting. I wonder if it has to be controlled by the driver, or will they let a computer control it. With pressure sensors under the car floor, the aero could be computer controlled, to effectively control the ride height, to give a rudimentary 'active' suspension...although it will only be effective at higher speeds obviously. If it could be applied asymmetrically, it could keep the car floor flat in high speed corners
As an American who has driven nothing but GM vehicles(Chevy and Cadillac) my entire life, i can't even explain how excited i am for Cadillac to join F1. I just couldn't root for Haas(they don't even have an American HQ, most of their HQ is in Italy now), and all the American manufacturers pulled out years ago. I will proudly wear Cadillac F1 merch as i pull up to a US GP in my 2019 Escalade or 1994 K1500 Chevy.
a greener f1 by increasing electrical power and sustainable fuels? how about the 30 lorries each teams drives to every european race? they run on diesel?
I just can't believe you actually produce this video by yourself...I'm always mind-blown by the quality of the video and the precision of your infos man!!! 😍😍😍 Please keep on delighting us in 2025 !!!!
great content! The changes have all the boxes checked for something different and only time will tell if its better or not. Was there any mention if the active aerodynamics x-y zone only work if 1 second behind the lead car?
x-mode and z-mode will always be available. There will be additional electrical engine power available to cars that are following closely behind others, but it is yet to be confirmed how close they need to be and whether it will only be available in certain parts of the track.
active front wing will be trouble, because they are so exposed to contact at the first turn of every race, if nothing else. so if the slightest contact stop them working as intented then it will be mayhem.
@@ap0llo.0ne51 no, but if they see that even slight damage stops the wing functionning propperly which could affect both performance and safety, then it is not impossible that they might reconsider or make changes to the moveable aero of the front wing.
@Jasongilliar not really because you see a lot more front wing damage from the slightest contact, litterally every race, and certainly way way more than rear wings. And it is going to affect performance so much if it is damaged, even slightly, and probably safety too.
As no one is saying it, since the halo was introduced to 2021, those cars were the BEST looking cars. It wasn't good on racing but my God those cars were fast and looked BEAUTITUL.
Just imagine V10s aspirated with E80 or synthetic fuels (less polluting), without electric motors, smaller in external dimensions, lighter and with more speed in curves

Actually, the F1 cars only produce 0,07% of the overal carbon footprint produced by the entire F1 circus. So yeah.
It's a joke, and a false premise to begin with. We don't need the highest level of motor reaching to be green. What a joke.

Honestly, active front wing is just going to be causing so much problems. Compared to a fixed front wing, the amount of performance you will lose if the active part stops functioning will be ridiculous and potentially dangerous, all types of balancing issues. I really think the active stuff is not the smartest thing to implement, but let's see how it goes I guess.
Already have that with the rear wing and theres rarely issues there. Only issue i can think of is how it affects front wing changes during pit stops
it's on the teams to make sure their car works, lmao this is like saying, "idk about the engine man, the amount of performance you will lose if the engine stops functioning will be ridiculous and potentially dangerous"
@@junyutan2172 it's more about how front wings are already prone to getting damaged easily during a race, and now if they get damaged with the active aero, it will just be even worse
@@eedoamitay3341I don’t see the problem. Don’t damage your wing then… they lose performance today if their wing gets damaged.
Replacing shouldn’t take any longer with a blind mate style connector
If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.
They should keep the current balance between ICE engine and electric motors using half electric half ICE would impact a lot the car's performance, a great solution to that would be to switch to renewable and less harmful fuels like the ones being used by the WEC
This is pretty informal when it comes to those big changes
3:20 Funny how the face video sees flexible wings with the McLaren that had the illegal DRS 🤣
Wow I am really impressed by this video and all the details informations. The virtual effect made a huge difference in understanding the future 2026 formula 1.
Hat's up 🙌🏿
And I suspect that before mid season, the aero parts in front na in the back of the front wheel will be changed as they proved to be to exposed to contact.= with other cars
Nice graphics man, it gave a good perspective about the 2026/2027 f1 Season that Will happen in the future
Thank you for this well put video and update.👍
Our pleasure!
I still think that making the "active" front wing is not the best idea. Many racing incidents showed that front wing is the one, that's being damaged the most. In this case aerodynamics would significantly "crash" after front wing damage.
Awesome video! Great balance between being concise while providing good depth of information
The biggest moves towards sustainability in F1 recently were getting rid of Logan Sargeant and Sergio Perez.
Great video, love F1 especially on the sim, but still have limited knowledge. Everything was explained so well and to the point.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing visualizations and over all great video content!! :D Possibly the best F1 content I ever saw! (And I saw a lot and as a designer I'm also picky when it comes to the style) 🤩 You won my Addiction ;)
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!
amazing quality video, learned a lot from this
I dont understand the reduction in ground effect. The current cars can follow closely fairly well till the tyres go off, surely downforce that isn't affected by dirty air is better. All the teams have pretty much got a handle on it and the bouncing is all but gone. I think to get good close racing we need ground effect cars with hard tyres so you can follow closely and push without the tyres go off and losing the chance of a pass after a couple of laps.
Look at the early 2000's cars with the hard tyres they could push lap after lap like it was qually but dependency on wings for downforce stopped them getting as close as they could have.
What would also help with racing is if they stopped adding dull narrow street tracks with no room to pass or make mistakes. They need more real tracks instead.
The exclusion of front axle regen is a big failure.
Seems like it.
Totally agree, its stupid
Ya'll ok with making F1 cars look like WEC hypercars? those regen units cant fit in the noses as they are now. And they add more weight.
Trust me bro
From the online expert? LOL
Tell me what you want guys
But they are literally just bringing back the old 2000's F1 cars with an hybrid engine. And Honestly? I'm Looking foreward to it. High nose cars, really low ground effect undertray, the clean sidepods... They are re-introducing those design choices we were used to see in the late 2000's, expecially during the 2006-2008 period, with some changes yes, but I really love these new designs. (I'm begging for Ferrari to bring an F2002/F2004 styled livery)
Next year is Ferraris year!
Man I want 80s/90s cars lol. I’m that old now?
Such an high quality video👏👏
Amazing video! F1 should bring you in to do their content. I’m not confident these changes will make the racing more competitive though.
Excellent production!
There was a Japanese anime Cyber Formula in 90s , the cars have active aero and booster mode in the cars like Asurada AKF-01 and Orge An-21
Very well researched video
With such heavy focus on aero changes, Aston Martin will definitely have the advantage with Adrian Newey
Great background music mate
formula 1 to formula e
Formula 1
Its funny they are taking the Lamborghini Revuelto for an example while it actually has 80/20 split on ICE and electric power 😅
Yeah, I'm kinda wondering why they don't just go full electric if they want to be so environmental.
Nope. From F1 to LMP1H. Go watch those WEC races from '14 to '16, they were amazing.
@@Willbrse go watch WEC in 2017-2021 💀☠️
F1 really needs to stop crowing about its sustainable / net zero carbon efforts. As soon as they stop the fleet of cargo aircraft and diesel trucks, then let's talk. And the schedule should be updated to make a simple loop around the planet rather than jumping from continent to continent for each race.
The active aero is just a more fancy DRS as far as I have seen so far. More tactical use will only be possible if there is a limited number of uses and drivers can decide when to use them in those zones. Otherwise it's just DRS
Outstanding video!
Hope we can have more overtaking at Monaco
I love the arcade design! Great video :)
Underrated video 💯desirves more likes and subs. And wait a minute cars can go 4 wide 2026 🔥
First of all, great video!
Secondly, unfortunately the weight loss isn't good enough to produce light and nimble cars. The 2026 cars will still be heavier than the 2021 cars, which were already quite heavy. If the cars can get back to at least 2018 weight, that would be a bit more of an improvement.
cool animations dude
The graphical fidelity of your work inspires.
Thank you so much 😀
very nice animations. 👍
The current road road improved from f1, but now F1 & FIA thinks F1 should improve from Road cars ......what a L move
Batteries are heavy. Mode x,z,s,f,o,b will end up being a,s,c,b,t,h,g,w and so on , very artificial denying real racing. What is the point of ditching all the active suspension,EBS, DAS system if we go for other aids ?
Each time i see people prase this car i shake my head
you’re not really making an argument about how the new regulations improve overtaking. I'm not sure I see why the low drag configurations of active aero would help since both the attacking and defending cars will be using them on the straights. won't even add any tactical depth as you said, everybody will use the best mode for each track section, no strategy involved. it kind of feels like you are bringing things up without backing them with a technical analysis
Are ford going to make a wet belt engine for red bull? 😂😂
Ecoboom 😂
I’m kinda doubting these cars but they can prove me wrong
I think they are trying to make it like NFS powertrain system. Where the driver can hit a button for boost and recharge it back for the next. Cant use NOS since irl NOS cant be recharged while driving. So they come up with this rechargable electrical powertrain
The active aero is very interesting. I wonder if it has to be controlled by the driver, or will they let a computer control it. With pressure sensors under the car floor, the aero could be computer controlled, to effectively control the ride height, to give a rudimentary 'active' suspension...although it will only be effective at higher speeds obviously. If it could be applied asymmetrically, it could keep the car floor flat in high speed corners
As an American who has driven nothing but GM vehicles(Chevy and Cadillac) my entire life, i can't even explain how excited i am for Cadillac to join F1. I just couldn't root for Haas(they don't even have an American HQ, most of their HQ is in Italy now), and all the American manufacturers pulled out years ago. I will proudly wear Cadillac F1 merch as i pull up to a US GP in my 2019 Escalade or 1994 K1500 Chevy.
I didnt understand what they said, will this be an Andretti team?
Thumbnail looks 👌 🔥
a greener f1 by increasing electrical power and sustainable fuels? how about the 30 lorries each teams drives to every european race? they run on diesel?
Looking forward to all of it.
I just can't believe you actually produce this video by yourself...I'm always mind-blown by the quality of the video and the precision of your infos man!!! 😍😍😍 Please keep on delighting us in 2025 !!!!
Wow, thank you!
what about the air-con?
can u do video on Formula E gen 4 car
These new 2026 cars be looking fire reminds me of the mid - late 2000s f1 cars 🚗
Which had incredibly boring races
Lets hope the direction of these regulations continue in the future, smaller lighter cars. My only hope is more cylinders
great content! The changes have all the boxes checked for something different and only time will tell if its better or not. Was there any mention if the active aerodynamics x-y zone only work if 1 second behind the lead car?
x-mode and z-mode will always be available. There will be additional electrical engine power available to cars that are following closely behind others, but it is yet to be confirmed how close they need to be and whether it will only be available in certain parts of the track.
We need tyre wars too
Amazing video
There have gone back to the 2009 2010 car's again to many rule changes🏎️
Very interesting, thank you
active front wing will be trouble, because they are so exposed to contact at the first turn of every race, if nothing else. so if the slightest contact stop them working as intented then it will be mayhem.
I mean, that shouldn’t stop their introduction, no?
You could say the same thing about the drs, or litterly everything
@@ap0llo.0ne51 no, but if they see that even slight damage stops the wing functionning propperly which could affect both performance and safety, then it is not impossible that they might reconsider or make changes to the moveable aero of the front wing.
@Jasongilliar not really because you see a lot more front wing damage from the slightest contact, litterally every race, and certainly way way more than rear wings. And it is going to affect performance so much if it is damaged, even slightly, and probably safety too.
@ that is fair, yeah. I wonder how they’ll reinforce the servo bits and pieces
Can we lose the halo?
Of course, so far as the whole 50/50 split in terms of power units goes, there's only one thing to be said really; solid-state batteries.
Bring back the V10 baby
No.
They want F1 technology to pass down to street cars for companies to recoup development costs, so most likely we will get a V4 or V3 engine soon.
So for the Z and X modes do they need to be within 1 second of an opponent at the beginning of the X mode window like drs?
I'm literally subscribing because of the production quality. S-tier stuff man. 🙌
Welcome aboard!
As no one is saying it, since the halo was introduced to 2021, those cars were the BEST looking cars. It wasn't good on racing but my God those cars were fast and looked BEAUTITUL.
The halo was introduced in 2018 though was it not?
Yes it was. He must be a DTS fan.@ap0llo.0ne51
@@ap0llo.0ne51he is referring to the time period between 2018(halo introduced)-2021
love the production quality but can you export in 1080p at least:)
I realised I uploaded the 720p version rather than the 4K export unfortunately... Silly mistake haha
The side profile of the rear wing reminds me of indycar..
Just imagine V10s aspirated with E80 or synthetic fuels (less polluting), without electric motors, smaller in external dimensions, lighter and with more speed in curves
