Lab fuels have no future. The manufacturers are in the sport to develop applicable technology to the real world. An ancient V8 with lab fuel is fully developed tech from 20 years ago.
the problem with the 50-50 split is that an f1 car is braking an average of 15-20% percent of the racetrack but is on full throttle 60-70% of it, so its just impossible to regenerate as much electrical energy as you would need over one lap. also you cant carry 300kg worth of batteries around bcs this is f1, so what you are left with is a car that has peak horsepower of 1000 (550+450) but an average horsepower of ~700. The only way to raise the average horsepower number is to somehow lower the drag coefficient of the car in the straights, so you will need ice only to maintain ~290 kph speed, which is why we have active aero. Basically in order to have the same laptime and speeds thru corners and straights without active aero, you would need higher average horsepower, so active aero effectively raises the average horsepower of the car. All this just because manufacturers want to pretend they care about the enviroment. we could just have sustainable fuel v10s, or if you must have electrical power, keep the 85-15 split we have now.
Couldn't agree more. F1 in their publication actually promoted the engine as "the most powerful ever." Which is a nice way to say it's the strongest if you have all power available.
You are absolutely right but F1 is all about pushing the limits of the future F1 has basically become the testing grounds of new technology for industrial automakers
@@optyfen5276 yeah we will definitley see the biggest gap ever between quali and race pace, the cars will be mega over 1 lap dumping all the energy but they just won't be able to do that in the race just like they can't now
Battery is not the future, don't know why you guys saying f1 is planning the way in the future for road cars. You guys really think, that we can produce so much energy for 0 emissions? Lol The future is the water,or Hydrogen. My scooter is going on hydrogen with water and Potassium Hydroxide. Don't have to storage the hydrogen and don't have to worry about explosion because is a Dry Cell Hydrogen separator. Just turn the ignition key wait 30 seconds then you are ready to go. Of course till we have oil, we can't talk about it....
Definitely some positives with weight reduction and slightly smaller cars But the car being 50% electric just doesn’t sit right Okay reduce some emissions but a few flights of cargo will kick up more emissions So they really should change these engine to make them like v8s or v6
It's not even about emissions, it's about the technology the manufacturers want to develop for real world use. Manufacturers are spending R&D money for future real world application, not because they want to win a race with a V8.
The point of introducing green tech into F1 isn’t to reduce emissions in the races themselves. Because the teams obviously want the cars to run as effectively as possible, by doing this you basically create 10 taskforces whose goal is to push the technology as far forward as possible. The real-world impacts will happen when the use of F1 as a very intense testing ground turns into improvements in everyday car manufacturing.
I kinda like the new regs. Same power but less down force will make it more challenging for the drivers. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsports and it should be challenging. Also day three of petitioning to change the channel name to F1 Unhinged
To me, frontwing and nose are quite similar to the 2005 mclaren. Looks like they are going to the mid-2000 style (in my opinion, the best looking cars ever)
Can’t wait for more of the carbon alpine style livery’s in 2026. Some teams have only just got to the weight limit and now they’ll need to get rid of 30kg
I was waiting for this video!! Helps me grasp these regs a lot better. One of the best videos ive seen so far explaining the 2026 regs!! And no more DRS trains lol 🙏
I totally agree The emphasis should be on V8 / V10 naturally aspirated PU's with 100% sustainable fuels. With the new configuration F1 is halfway to being Formula E :0|
On an additional note. With the cars being so basic and no (limited) ground effect, I wonder how much of the “Newey Effect” any team will get from Adrian’s consultancy
@@ShrienMBefore ground effect Red bull used to have on of the best aero and chassis thanks to newey .Despite having inferior renault engine they could compete with Mercedes at some tracks they often at times beat Ferrari.When Horner wanted Toto so supply them with engine he failed to do so because they was high chances Red bull would be better than the Mercedes using mercedes engine
a lot of true f1 tracks, such as Interlagos have slight turns within the DRS zone, I'm afraid having little to no downforce in those can be quite dangerous
Its because they have to dump 55% of the current downforce drag in order to be at least as fast as an F2 Car. They have just Homologated a really slow F1 car that will kill people.@@procatprocat9647
They want to promote closer racing, so they again jump up in complexity. I just don't think more moving parts is what we need. I would argue - Just put more aggressive engines on slimmer, lighter cars, do away with all the alternative power sources and moving parts. Let's get back to lighter quicker racing, that pushes both the driver and engineers to their max. Is that not why we are all here?
Love your videos F1U. I don't know anything about engineering, or aero, but I always feel like i'm learning because of your videos. Your breakdowns are very insightful and the work behind the scenes you put in doesn't go unnoticed. Keep it up!
I’ll be honest, as a Fan who grew up with the 2010s and even now it’ll be weird for me to see a really narrow front wing but I’ll also be excited as I’ll know what the 2000s style of racing is like instead of just watching F1 Classic Highlights in the official F1 Channel
The massive downforce loss will be recovered majorly during a few seasons. Personally i dont mind if the cars get several seconds slower aslong as they're smaller, lighter, and the racing improves
I thought I would find it a lot worse, but honestly, it's not bad. I'm especially pleased with the front wing going back to the 2000's era ( the most beautiful looking designs in my opinion)
Hey Bud, great video again. What do you think about this idea ? How about a smaller fuel tank, bring back refueling and obligate 3, 4 or 5 pit stops according to circuit ? New tech to eliminate the "hybrid" and progressively reduce the size of the car to 4.6m length, 1.8m width and 680 kg max. Tyres at same rim front and back but slightly reduced in width and wall - hence the need for more pit stops .... strategy jeopardy.
Manufactures wont waste money developing older tech if it s not marketable for road cars. Hybrid car is the way to go as for now. Also older ICE engine were unreliable. Again no teams will waste money developing tech that s not marketable.
It would be nice to have a fully modulating active aero rather than a binary system. Even a system that works independently from left to right like we see in some super cars. Second thing is I wonder how they will control dirty air with two aero settings. Will teams in the lead be able to use this to their advantage in certain corners. Might be worse than now. Best F1 channel.
Thanks 🙂 Was waiting for your breakdown on this. Not sure on the looks but if it delivers on raceabilty and excinting races, then that would be great. Alonso is sceptical about the 30kg weight reduction based on the increased dependance on electric power saying the actual weight loss will need to be 60kg.
These cars really remind me of the old cars from 2006, also the fact that since they are smaller, maybe we will see more action at tight circuits like monaco or other small tracks.
I think these changes are overall positive. There are some complains because of the hybrid (as usual) but with less downforce we should see higher laptimes but better racing (hopefully). I believe the push to pass mechanic will be used similarly to how drivers use the overtake button so it won't be very gimmicky. I'm curious to see how the cars will behave with active aero as well.
Max's private jet uses 1130 KG of fuel per hour. F1 cars are limited to 100KG per race, with about another 100kg for practice and so on. 200KG per car x 20 cars = 4000KG per race weekend. 20 drivers plus F1 teams plus transportation of equipment, tools, cars, etc, around 5 jets per team = 50 jets = 56,00KG per race weekend and that is if they only fly for an hour. Its probably 3x that amount, (in, out, and extra) so around 169,000KG of fuel for transport considering a small private jet is used. Consider bigger planes...even more. You are telling me F1 cares about global warming LMFAO One race weekend uses more fuel for jets than the cars for THE WHOLE SEASON. In one season the teams use more jet fuel than all of F1 for the last 20+ years use in fuel for racing. Bring back normal engines, stop virtue signaling. I can bet money that the V10's actually used less fuel than the current V6 turbos. Everything I know about engineering says that naturally aspirated motors used less fuel than forced induction engines. The refueling existed because of smaller fuel tanks.
It feels like the design has gone backwards a bit. The previous generations had a more futuristic design to them, totally agree they do have a F2 ish look Glad they trimmed them down some because that’s really what they needed most of all.
It's the manufactures that wanted more power coming from electrification. The manufactures know "sustainable" fuel (lab fuel) for all cars is way down the road or impossible. They care about scaled production not exotic low production fuels. .So that's why electric. Got to see the bigger picture. I think what made the V8/10s popular was their RPM levels. That requires exotic metals, and very short life engines. This would not only bring back run away costs but also impacts transportation cost, I personally don't want to see more pay drivers and a larger lap separation for the low budget teams just for sound. . Wrong direction.
They aren’t much smaller or lighter... I wonder how much of a difference it will actually make? Hopefully renewable fuels can get to a place so we can get rid of the need for the electrical side of the PU’s. Saying that I’m far more for a “push to pass” system than the DRS trains we get. Also if the floors are going to be this flat again can we taper to the rear body work of the car. Gives it a wired unfinished look. Overall it’s pretty disappointing. But a step in the right direction at least. Plus it is decent looking.
I think the new front wing is sick !! However, the tech regs coming out later this month will determine what happens with barge boards, front wing elements and floor shape.
anything that helps make the cars smaller is going to be good news. The massive size of the modern cars limits so much overtaking and real racing these days.
The 30kg weight reduction is just the min weight. It’s hard to see how they can lose so much weight considering the battery size will increase but quite a bit and many teams are already overweight in the current regulations.
The 2022 car only looks good in pictures, but looks disappointing in the race.. the 2026 car looks more realistic like a mix of modern and classic. the most important thing is that it doesn't look excessive like 2022-2025
Third comment on this (over different channels) and now thinking more ... obviously F1's main carbon emissions are from traveling from event to event. I'm betting a round of two-stroke go-karts puts out more harmful emissions than these F1 cars in a race if the distance covered was similar. It's just sad how the "staying green" thing is literally bogging them down. It's the pinnacle of motorsport (or its supposed to be!). MotoGP isn't doing this junk. (again I know the tech development being passed down to consumer cars is a part of this but why, car manufactures have been doing years/decades of research into their own hybrids.) And make the damn cars even smaller!
Wouldnt it be more sustainable if they remove the hybrid, lose weight, and use e-fuels? Also with the lighter PUs and cars, the transport emissions from flights and trucks to the f1 cuecuits would be reduced.
This concept car looks really different. Reminds of the transition from 2008 to 2009. Can't say I like the look but active aero will be interesting to see. We're likely in for some really interesting solutions here. Also, removal of DRS is nice, can't say I ever liked it. Having non-hybrid engines would've been great, probably would've made for lighter and smaller cars, but it is what the manufacturers seem to want for now.
Being able to adjust the front spoiler to reduce drag & improve handling, makes sense ...... especially if the heights are automatically control by computer. Are the new cars still oversized & overweight ..... or ........... are we stuck with these heavy waits????
They wont be "agile", i think that it will be interesting how they under/overfuel the cars, drag is halved and max engine power is halved but efficency is reduced.
I can't wait to see if and how much the grid will change with these new regulations, who will benefit from it and who will struggle, but hopefully this can make the grid a little closer
Idk. Im skeptical. The shift to electric is troublesome but that's what the engine manufacturers want i guess. However electric car sales are weak at the moment, at least in the US. Maybe in a few years someone with some sense will return to petrol only engines and the dark cloud will be lifted. We can only pray.
To me this rendering actually looks a lot closer to Indycar. I’m not a close follower of that sport but I have seen a few road courses where following cars and overtakes seemed easier. This also might make it easier for new/struggling teams to catch up on aero deficiencies and be more competitive Edit: even the active aero is similar in concept to Indy’s “push to pass.”
the thing is they could make v6s sound high pitched just like the v8s by making them even firing. but for whatever reason they chose to have an odd firing v6. weird if you ask me...
So... a 5 year old GP2 car with some fancy active aero tech from 3-5 year old hyper cars. Unfortunate. My Idea = give them all XYZ liters of fuel for the race and a spec dry tire along with max car physical properties. Hybrid, v6, v8, v10... do whatever you want and don't do what you don't want. It might be interesting to see various interpretations of weight savings vs. hybrid power solutions vs. fuel economy and ultimate power output.
What if you brake your frint wing? What if the front wing "drs" stop working? What if they use the front wing "drs" on the long straight,but at braking is fails? Nothing gonna stop you,but the walls. I'm really not fan for this front drs not even fan for the rear drs also.
I'm not sure how I feel bout these new regs. The high downforce is what makes F1 so special, seeing a F1 car changing direction a insane speeds is something special...Also the push to overtake is not what I'd like to see in the cars, I am afraid it will be too strong will make the overtakes very predictable.
Im new to this sport, so my knowledge is very little. Is there any rules on a dynamic front wing? Don't know how it would actually effect the handling, but just an interesting thought
They haven’t come out with the ERS override specifics yet. Is it within 1 second as well? It has to recharge so you can’t just use it for 2 laps in a row unlike DRS which can be used forever
They say "agile cars" but remember that those are cars are heavier than the 2021 ones.
Yeah and with less down force...
the less downforce bit can be fun ,but yeah id like smaller and nimbler cars...active aero is not necessary tho
The battery and power unit of 26 will be 30 kg heavier than the 2022 cars bat and PU too.
@@mvd4436 all this because they removed MGU H. Fan complained about the sound so now we get this.
No, they said 'more agile'
That means more agile than the current cars.
Ahhh been refreshing my feed since the reg reveal for the John Wick vid finallyyyy
Love to hear that my friend
They should’ve went all in on the renewable fuel removing the hybrid unit making the cars a lot lighter
100%
They should introduce sails instead of engines. That would be super Eco green and sustainable.
they would probably be able to make the cars 60+kg lighter than they are right now

(again I know the tech development being passed down to consumer cars is a part of this but why, car manufactures have been doing years/decades of research into their own hybrids.) And make the damn cars even smaller!
Remove the electrical systems. V10 with sustainable fuel. No active aero. Half the size and weight of the cars. Fixed.
To me, the side tips of the front wing and that floor front edge looks like puncture machines.
My thoughts too. Could ruin the racing.
Wouldnt it be more sustainable if they remove the hybrid, lose weight, and use e-fuels?
Also with the lighter PUs and cars, the transport emissions from flights and trucks to the f1 cuecuits would be reduced.
i'm excited. the cars being unreliable is almost certain. this will shake things up even if it doesn't affect the pecking order that much
This concept car looks really different. Reminds of the transition from 2008 to 2009. Can't say I like the look but active aero will be interesting to see. We're likely in for some really interesting solutions here. Also, removal of DRS is nice, can't say I ever liked it.
Having non-hybrid engines would've been great, probably would've made for lighter and smaller cars, but it is what the manufacturers seem to want for now.
Being able to adjust the front spoiler to reduce drag & improve handling, makes sense ...... especially if the heights are automatically control by computer.
Are the new cars still oversized & overweight ..... or ........... are we stuck with these heavy waits????
The video I was waiting for. ❤
❤❤❤
I support all regulation changes that work towards making the cars smaller.
Let's go i was waiting for your video
:)
Apart from the engine change, everything else seems like a lot of fun for next year.
Adrian Newey foaming at the mouth rn
man i wish they went even smaler with the cars i still feel like they are to big.
I don’t inderstand why people are complaining about the v6 sound…it’s not a tuner car..it’s not a show-off car..we care about the ‘speed’ ..
Might get a job as a Parc ferme inspector in 2026, i hear there are a several hundred positions opening up.
I like new/old rear wing, it's just BETTER
Fully sustainable fueled V10. That's what needs to happen.
They wont be "agile", i think that it will be interesting how they under/overfuel the cars, drag is halved and max engine power is halved but efficency is reduced.
Can’t wait to see how Alonso uses active aero in unexpectedly legal ways that still get a penalty
I can't wait to see if and how much the grid will change with these new regulations, who will benefit from it and who will struggle, but hopefully this can make the grid a little closer
Should've made sustainable fuels, V8s,a small MGU-K,no active aero and even smaller, lighter cars
Everyone, okay, better
Rain tires, updates resume, well rounded, great with kids, excels at indoor go-kart track layout barriers.
Idk. Im skeptical. The shift to electric is troublesome but that's what the engine manufacturers want i guess. However electric car sales are weak at the moment, at least in the US. Maybe in a few years someone with some sense will return to petrol only engines and the dark cloud will be lifted. We can only pray.
good explanation f1 keanu reeves
To me this rendering actually looks a lot closer to Indycar. I’m not a close follower of that sport but I have seen a few road courses where following cars and overtakes seemed easier. This also might make it easier for new/struggling teams to catch up on aero deficiencies and be more competitive
Edit: even the active aero is similar in concept to Indy’s “push to pass.”
Indy car vibes!!!
wish they would just commit to better engines on the sustainable fuel rather than going with hybrid still. Why not sustainable fuel V10s?? 👀
F1Unchained is right on it!
I try my friend :)
the thing is they could make v6s sound high pitched just like the v8s by making them even firing. but for whatever reason they chose to have an odd firing v6. weird if you ask me...
It’s not a 50-50 power split. The official FIA video states it’s 426 kW from the ICE and 350 kW from the electrical.
Thanks for the great video….again
So... a 5 year old GP2 car with some fancy active aero tech from 3-5 year old hyper cars. Unfortunate. My Idea = give them all XYZ liters of fuel for the race and a spec dry tire along with max car physical properties. Hybrid, v6, v8, v10... do whatever you want and don't do what you don't want. It might be interesting to see various interpretations of weight savings vs. hybrid power solutions vs. fuel economy and ultimate power output.
What if you brake your frint wing? What if the front wing "drs" stop working? What if they use the front wing "drs" on the long straight,but at braking is fails? Nothing gonna stop you,but the walls. I'm really not fan for this front drs not even fan for the rear drs also.
I'm not sure how I feel bout these new regs. The high downforce is what makes F1 so special, seeing a F1 car changing direction a insane speeds is something special...Also the push to overtake is not what I'd like to see in the cars, I am afraid it will be too strong will make the overtakes very predictable.
Im new to this sport, so my knowledge is very little. Is there any rules on a dynamic front wing? Don't know how it would actually effect the handling, but just an interesting thought
We all were waiting your video
Makes me so happy to hear that :)
They haven’t come out with the ERS override specifics yet. Is it within 1 second as well? It has to recharge so you can’t just use it for 2 laps in a row unlike DRS which can be used forever
