f1 2026 regulations:

general:

30kg lighter cars, also shorter and narrower

reduced downforce, drag, and speed (2 sec slower than 2025)

rip ground effect era; instead: flat floors -> no more porpoising

fuel 100% sustainable, part of net zero by 2030 initiative (good, but imo the impact of zig zagging whole teams across the globe is bigger than the fuel of an f1 car, a season schedule that groups races by geographic location would have greater impact on the sustainability of the sport)

engine based:

major changes to engines/power units themselves and emphasis on features that use engine/power unit -> a good engine will matter a lot

50/50 split combustion and electric power

300% increase in electrical/battery power

Manual Override Mode (fia won’t call it MOM anymore cause they’re boring) - battery boost when within 1 sec of car in front

rip drs; instead:

active aerodynamics: open and close front and rear wings with z & x mode, drivers can choose when to switch between them during a lap

z mode: for corners, high downforce/grip

x mode: for straights, low downforce, reduce drag

overtake with MOM (the fia can’t make me not make the jokes) anytime they’re within 1 sec (drs could only be used in drs zones)

drivers must use their brain (decide when to make aero changes / deploy battery)

[marigoldrouge]

official terminology (& some new stuff):

boost button (max energy from engine and battery, or to an amount set by team)

recharge (recharge battery during breaking or when lifting the throttle/using partial power, mostly automated unless doing LiCo)

x and z mode = active aero

z mode = corner mode

x mode = straight mode

(allegedly) overtake mode = manual override mode (I vote we all collectively refuse to call it anything other than mom)

“I’ve been disrespected many times myself (by other drivers) .. But Max doesn’t even accept disrespect!! Like if I’m standing next to him, asking a question, he won’t accept me being disrespected”

Daniel Ricciardo cursing the seat 7 years ago …

“I’m not superstitious or any of this bullshit but the car’s curse”

[rickybaby]

Curse so bad they didn’t even know if he was showing up again

it’s past fucking midnight and my grandmother got up and keeps loudly tearing paper right next to my room

[b16673b75pr6575-64558d45f7hs74]

by the way the reason there’s paper tearing is because she reads books by fucking tearing them apart page by page as she moves through them instead of just flipping the pages like a normal human

@adipemdragon

this is what her room looks like on a good day

note how even the hardcovers arent safe

Oscar Piastri's masterful Spa-Francorchamps win was reminiscent of Daniel Ricciardo's finest F1 drive back in 2014
