Are F1’s 2026 rules going to be tweaked, and when?
Formula 1’s new-for-2026 rules have received a mixed reception so far. Drivers tend to enjoy the smaller, nimbler cars, but this has been overshadowed by the greater emphasis on electric energy and the consequent preponderance of energy management.
