From 2026, Formula 1 will introduce more compact and lighter cars, with active aerodynamics replacing traditional DRS. Moving wings will help reduce drag on the straights and improve on-track battles.

The biggest change will concern the power units: the electric motor will play a much larger role, in an almost balanced system with the internal-combustion V6. Fully sustainable fuels will also be introduced. The new rules will coincide with Cadillac joining the grid as an eleventh team.
