The FIA have revealed that the F1 2026 regulations will be made available to view for the first time from Thursday 6 June at 3.30pm CEST [2.30pm UK].

The sport’s regulations have been under extensive discussion for quite some time, and the alterations made to Formula 1’s power units are the most significant since the transition to turbo hybrid power in 2014.
There will be a heightened emphasis on electrical power, with a more balanced distribution between internal combustion and electric power as the MGU-K feature’s power output is expected to triple. Additionally, for the first time, the power units will be fueled by sustainable fuel that is entirely carbon-free.
The drive to create more sustainable engines has been identified as a significant factor in attracting new manufacturers such as Audi to the sport. Additionally, Honda’s collaboration with Aston Martin to manufacture a factory power unit is seen as another outcome of this push.

Red Bull Powertrains, in collaboration with Ford, will embark on a groundbreaking venture to produce their own power units starting in 2026.
With this being the next significant regulations reset in Formula 1, factory teams are already allocating resources to their F1 2026 power units in order to hit the ground running when these changes take effect.
According to reports, the cars are anticipated to have shorter chassis and potentially a lower minimum weight compared to the current models on the grid. Over time, the cars have become larger and longer, primarily due to the need for accommodating power units and incorporating enhanced safety measures.
The cars in the 2026 season will undoubtedly have a distinct appearance and sound due to the new regulations. The upcoming reveal by the FIA will provide a sneak peek into the limitations and possibilities that teams can explore when designing their F1 2026 vehicles.
