The International Automobile Federation will seek more equality in the championship from the beginning.
The new Formula 1 regulation that will implement motors changes by 2026
The year 2026 will mark a before and after in the Formula 1: Both the Chassis regulation such as engines They will suffer one of the deepest reviews of the last 50 years, according to several technical directors of the Paddock.
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) It seeks to modernize the category with the use of electricity and the elimination of expensive and complex elements, such as MGU-Hwhich at the time was a great performance differentiator.
One of the key novelties will be the concessions system for brands that begin with disadvantage. The new regulation introduces the concept of Ados (Additional development and improvement opportunities), which will be applied after analyzing the performance of each power unit in the first five or six races of the season.
Those manufacturers that are below a percentage of yield-more than 3% below the maximum measure measure-will receive benefits such as more hours in the test bench, greater margin of investment within the budget limit and the possibility of re-humoring the engine.
The objective is to prevent a bad start from condemnating a team to years of inferiority, something that is currently almost impossible to reverse. The regulation specifies which components of the internal combustion engine can be developed again in case of obtaining status Ados, which will allow focused improvements without breaking equity.
In addition, the FIA He carried out a plan for serious reliability problems where if a manufacturer breaks an engine every weekend, the replacement cost would limit its development due to the budget roof.
Therefore, it is studied to grant “Extra engines” With a reduced cost within the limit, preventing the equipment from being trapped in a circle of breakdowns and lack of progress. This measure is still in review, but its approval is expected before the entry into force of the new regulation.
The concept of car that the FIA He has delineated for 2026 is characterized by a 30 kilograms reduction In the weight, a axes shortened from 3,600 to 3,400 millimeters, and a width that goes from 2,000 to 1,900 millimeters. The tires, although they maintain the 18 inches, will be narrower: 25 millimeters less on the front axle and 30 millimeters less in the rear.
The flat background is maintained, but active aerodynamics gains prominence with the elimination of DRS and the introduction of mobile spoilers both in front and behind.
The result will be a reduction of at least 20 % in aerodynamic load Regarding current cars, which will require greater skill to pilots, especially in high -speed curves.
