F1 2026 Car Comparison – Changes are coming to formula 1, with a new set of both aerodynamic and engine regulations set to hit the sport in 2026. The problem for f1 is that even if its 2026 rules are a success (something probably realised in 2027 or 2028), they're going to be ripped up and redone for 2030. Let's take a look at the differences and updates present in the 2026 cars after the latest f1 regulatory changes. The reduced dimensions are part of an effort to start to reverse how bloated f1 cars have become, having ballooned in mass over the past few rule changes, most.
The key features of the 2026 f1 regulations are advanced, sustainability technology and safety. However, what truly breaks with the past is the active aerodynamics featuring x and z modes. The f1 2026 cars will be lighter than their 2025 predecessors, as part of the fia's 'nimble' car mission. F1 has always been about innovation and having a stable set of regulations would go against the championship's dna.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't ever have new rules resets. The first official look at formula 1's 2026 car rules has been revealed by the fia, along with several new key details including dropping the drag reduction system as we know it.
Our aim, together with formula 1, was to produce a car that was right for the future of the sport. The fia just unveiled regulations for the 2026 formula 1 season and showed off renderings of what the car design will look like, which you can see in the gallery at the top of this post. The fia say this is 722kg car and 46kg (estimated) tyres.
