The FIA has revealed the F1 2026 regulations to take the series into a new era...
While Valtteri Bottas mostly likes what he sees after the FIA revealed the overhauled regulations for 2026, he has his concerns when it comes to performance.
“A new era of regulations is always exciting, brings opportunities to different teams. It’s nice to see a change,” he said. “I would say that the only worry I have is overall performance and the downforce level. I’ve heard some rumours that it is quite a lot less grip overall, which I don’t know how much it’s going to be and I think that’s what we’re going to figure out.
“The first one is continue to have a aero concept for the car which reduces the losses generated by a car which is negatively impacting the following car, because to be able to overtake you need to be close to the car ahead of you. “So you enter the straight, a car is fairly close to the other, to help the overtaking – since now both cars will have the rear wing open and front wing flap open – we are going to allow the car behind to deploy more ERS for a given portion of time during that precise lap.
