Positives for me: I like the looks - Looks better than current gen. I like the move to active aero and less dependence on ground effects. I like that HOPEFULLY this trend of shrinking the cars will continue. Negatives for me: 30kg weight reduction is not enough Rims should be smaller than 18" No regen on front wheels is dumb I'm worried that this will be an economy race and not an all out race I hate that the teams have so much to say in regards to the regulations.

active ride！🎉🎉🎉

I do not agree with that we do not want refuel again. That makes an extra strategy in the race which is needed . These aerowings will be even worse than current drs train anyway

Waiting for Elon Musk to enter a team then fall out with everyone and leave. 🤘🤘

I have an issue when Craig notes that a 'return' of V-10 or V-12 would necessitate a 240 liter fuel tank. I guess the internal combustion advances made in the past twenty years (of which there are many) would not apply then in Craig's argument.

ua-cam.com/video/EwC3Q_sN0yU/v-deo.htmlsi=kkuZuHjnBibkdOnU. From 08:20. that is not anonymous, and criticising Max on Jos, Nelson and Helmut. The championship was Adrian’s? I can imagine Peter is not proud on this now.

Has anyone thought about e-refueling ie re-charging? Surely this could be a way of reducing weight by starting cars with say half a race distance of race fuel meaning cars coming in to fill their batteries in order to finish the race. It could lead to so many different options for teams, those that were more fuel efficient could be allowed to charge faster etc. Thoughts?

Scarbs for President... (FIA)

Brilliant overview of the new regulations. Please have more scarbs whenever possible

Why is Scarbs trying so hard to validate and rationalise this ridiculous hybrid era? With sustainable fuels now available, it should be a logical step to go back to V10' for the entertainment value.

Thx Peter and Scarbs. Most informative

If their using 💯% sustainable fuels why have a hybrid at all 🤔

... not sorry.

Always glad to see Scarbs, a real technical expert.. unlike his DEI hire partner on Woke Sky Network

Still crying about it.... wow. Can we talk about Silverstone, then?

Interesting talk. Thanks for the insights. What's equally interesting to me and a little ironic - with the road relevance part - is that while F1 is moving away from MGU-H (which I thought was a fascinating thing), Porsche has used their LMP1 (919 Hybrid 2012-2017) know-how to create their 2025 992.2 road engine with an MGU-H and an MGU-K coupled with an e-Turbo. It's LMP1/ F1 Tech! Clearly, F1 is not moving away from it because the big three think Porsche will have an advantage when they have a better-funded MGU-H? So, why is the MGU-H, which will have been in dev for 12 yrs (when 2026 will arrive) suddenly more expensive to run? They've already been "perfected", haven't they? Is it to bring back noise? If so, these new racecars better sound racy!

Put a gas v12 in it now

they should only be able to carry enough fuel for a third race distance , and fuel rigs supplied to the teams by fia. indy races are awesome with some opting to save fuel to save a stop others going for it , but then again f1 races are just too short should be a third longer !!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hammer Time came second half of the season winning 2 races and beating George by 18 points, Ex Hammer Fan

Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull/Honda, Audi... Ford? Did they forget about Ford? (and Cadillac, lol)

Scarbs analysis is informed and so interesting. Unlike 1/2 the comments here. F1 will still be an engineering challenge. Limiting the total fuel and enabling efficiency to be turned into extra power is good reward for effort. F1 will still recruit the best drivers. It’ll still be worth watching.

I hope the tyres are adequately improved .

Cheap active ride with spec parts. Love the idea ! Maybe for the next regs ....

The wings are going to look excellent. Visible innovation and ideas, rather than the existing hidden floor tricks

As a F1 fan since the late 70's here's my dream F1 car. Smaller cars, V10 engine, traction control, active suspension, unrestricted fuel or electric boost. Bring back refueling pit stops and use zero emission fuels. Also bring back the 90's qualifying.

Ummmm I'd love to see refueling come back.

When max is darting back and forth to heat the tires, and nobody else bothers to do it, no wonder Max was gone when the safety car pulled in

We need another Redbull Team Mate to show how good Max is

How do two men of supposed intelligence get to 2024 and still remain oblivious to the sheer scam that is Agenda 21, Net Zero and "sustainability"? You've both clearly been completely bamboozled by the relentless propaganda and still ask no questions. You make it sound like filling up with fuel is some kind of sin. It disgusts me no end. Besides, what is the point of pumping all this technology into literally only 20 cars on earth? It is so bizarrely stupid to think it achieves anything. The circus that transports F1 is thousands of times bigger and burns hundreds of tons of fuel. And that doesn't matter either because: There is no climate crisis. CO2 is not a greenhouse gas or a pollutant. The oil is not going to run out and burning it does not harm the planet. We have better air quality than at any point since the industrial revolution. The planet is neither on fire nor dying. The climate alarmist cult that you have clearly bought into is the greatest threat we face. You provide the best insight into so many F1-related issues but every time you mindlessly parrot the sustainability push, I want to tear my hair out. Achieving Net Zero would kill at least half the earth's population and leave the rest in absolute energy poverty. That's the real goal of the elitist overlords who have invented this massive Malthusian psychological operation. It's already happening. Most people can't afford anywhere near the energy that the previous generation could. It is crippling us.

No DRS for overtaking in the 26 Reg, does it? X-mode and Z-mode are universal for all cars not basing on the relative grid position or having to be within 1s gap to the front. All cars will have the "same" aero drag under the X-mode in the straight. The DRC overtaking function will be replaced by the "push-to-pass" mode of the PU of deploying extra electrical power boost.

I'm afraid the active elements will remove or greatly reduce the art of balancing downforce vs drag.

At this point I'd rather watch a "legends series" with early 90s F1 cars being raced

50% electric is so gay.

So, more active aero then. How strict are those rules? Would they be allowed to have active aero in the ground effect tunnels ? I mean, they only really need the downforce in the corners , right? Transformers-F1 edition 😂

Get rid of tire warmers.

I have no doubt Aramco currently fund the palaver and likely the earlier technical nobbling.

Regs SHOULD be, smaller with more power. More power = more options = more risks to take = higher cost/reward for skill. If you make the potential to overdrive the car infinitely high, then driving just under the limit is harder to do this an infinite skill expression.

I hate this future 😢

I hate no mechanical drs 😢 I hate electric cars I hate formula e

Max is a beast

The regs are killing F1

F1 is becoming too electric. Bring back the v10 ice with no hybrid system, and mandate fully sustainable fuel.

They are talking like low downforce mode still be used as a substitute for DRS to aid overtaking, but my understanding is that the cars can use it at any point within the designated zones, which equilizes all the car speeds. I believe it is just the power boost that will aid overtaking.

It would be interesting to know what the new battery capacity will be (compared to the current one)

Excellent, thank you PW and Scarbs! Great analysis of the unknown, whilst knowing the knowns, if you see what I mean. PW's angular questions are typical and is why I continue to listen to anything he says. We will see. The first race of 2026 season will be very interesting.

Great video as usual. Love Scarbs. However.... F1 needs to COME OFF the refueling ban. It makes for an amazing for racing. Look at WEC, Indy Car. It adds so much to strategy, etc. Never understood how we heathen Americans can have refueling without fires and issues, as can WEC.....and yet it's too dangerous for F1. Cut the tanks size back, loosen up the fuel flow restrictions, and the penalty if self evident. If you are not efficient enough, you make extra stops, and can't win. If you want to run less fuel, be lighter and there by faster and easier on your tires, you need to make up for needing to make more stops. Just like really bad tire wear vs being very easy on your tires.

bring back V10s, the batteries are deadly to the children who mine for them.

FIA has lost its way watching footage of races from the 80’s, 90’s, and the 00’s proves more viscerally engaging than contemporary product. The accountants and eco-cultists have penetrated the bureaucracy There’s no replacement for displacement

Hope we don't end up with peleton style racing that Formula E has. Saving fuel whole race and push to pass(override) on last laps.

Scarbs, the current PU is 151kg, not including the battery. The 2026 PU is 150kg, not including the battery. The minimum weight of the battery for 2026 includes more items than the current rules, which basically only count the cells and the parts that connect between the cells. But the 2026 ICE is too heavy for the power it produces.
