The 2026 regulations represent the biggest technical change in F1 in decades. The new power units split output roughly 50/50 between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor (MGU-K), with significantly more electrical power. Aerodynamic rules are simplified with active aero elements to promote closer racing. The MGU-H has been removed, and sustainable fuels are mandatory.
