All Teams Agree to 2026 Regulation Changes

In a rare show of unity, all ten Formula 1 teams have agreed to the proposed regulation changes for the 2026 season. The new rules, which include significant changes to the power units and aerodynamics, aim to make the sport more sustainable and competitive.

The 2026 power units will increase the electrical component to 50% of the total power output, while continuing to use sustainable fuels. The aerodynamic regulations will focus on reducing the cars' sensitivity to dirty air, which should improve racing and overtaking opportunities.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem expressed his satisfaction with the agreement: "This unanimous decision demonstrates the shared commitment of all stakeholders to the future of Formula 1. The 2026 regulations represent a bold step forward for our sport, balancing technological innovation with sustainability and exciting racing."

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali added: "The 2026 regulations are the result of extensive collaboration between the FIA, Formula 1, the current teams, and the new manufacturers entering the sport. We believe these changes will create an even more compelling spectacle for our fans while addressing important environmental concerns."

The agreement is particularly significant as it has secured the commitment of new manufacturers entering the sport in 2026, including Audi, who will take over the Sauber team, and potentially others who have expressed interest.

Team principals from across the grid welcomed the clarity provided by the finalized regulations, which will allow them to begin development work for the 2026 cars. The early agreement gives teams more than two years to prepare for what will be one of the most significant technical shifts in the sport's recent history.
