Why the new 2026 Rule F1 will level the playground for the crook class

Sometimes the flow of dynamic young drivers in Formula 1 takes splights or even one year holiday. 2025 was not going to be one of those seasons; In recent years only 2019, where likes Lando Noris, George Russell And Alex albon Arrived hot from f2, provided a rich and exciting flow of talent.

But many of them have struggled to make an impact for the game. Jack dohanCorrect or incorrectly, it did not even make it at the point of half-way-Azibogib, the given alpine had adequately rated him to promote him on a race seat. Estaban Okon,

The current generation of grassroots cars has created obstacles to many drivers-even some experienced-have failed in the surmount. And as the performance converks in the final year of performance, many teams have reached a point where the peak has come at the cost of the downforce. While balancing the decline attempt against increasing the steering angle, the contestants who like to delay and rigid have suffered the most.

Oliver bearman The full-season is one of the miscreants who have more dramatic fluctuations in a husband, which is clearly less gentle than Ferrari in which he made his debut in Saudi Arabia last year. Speaking specifically for autosport before the summer break, Bayerman suggested that the upcoming technical ‘reset’ would reduce the premium on experience.

“It is certainly the case that other drivers on the grid have been running this era of the car for a long time,” said 20 -year -old.

“So they understand how it works, how to drive around their boundaries and actually to take the most advantage of it. So there is no doubt that we are behind as miscreants, due to less experience in this era of the car, we are behind.

“I think the next year will be very leveling the playground, and I am hoping to see a demonstration (Haas) car next year.”

Unlike many previous changes for technical rules-even wider-people will have a greater impact than re-organizing the grid of the package of the finger-season, in order to the team comes with the first best solutions. A change in the 50:50 ratio of power distribution between the electrical system and the internal combustion engine will increase the driver’s workload as they expose power mode and other ‘tools’ through the lap.

A separate performance in narrow, light cars with active aerodynamics will be dynamic and will be taken as a whole, the changes will require drivers to fundamentally to their styles. Ferrari Charles Lakeler It compared to release “muscle memory”.

Many other drivers have made negative comments on the amount of switch-appending which will be required to manage limited electrical deployment through lap; Oscar piastry Told that it will probably add nothing to the spectacle.

Williams’s boss James Walls said, “We have got to make it easy on the driver,” I think the charge is really very difficult, very difficult for the driver at this time. ,

But this adaptation process will also bring opportunity because, naturally, some driver will intensify the infection than others. And those who, like a beerman, keep less ‘goods’ for the shed, can stand for profit.

An important problem with the current generation of cars is that they have to run low and rigid to maximize the effectiveness of the floor and driver. This makes them uncontrolled and disabled on bumps, reduces the variety of racing lines – there are fewer awards to ride – and are less stable under braking and acceleration as changes in the pitch affect the downforce.

Adopting extreme suspension geometry to reduce these pitch changes can add the spiral to the SAPS driver ‘feel’ and the spiral in confidence. Current crook set, Isac Hadzar The most effective has been continuously – but racing bulls car is more gentle.

In Saubber, the car was so poor Gabriel BortoleoEarly performances of the season were notable, mainly how close he was for his experienced team partner. Nico HulkenburgA new floor and affiliated upgrade have proved transformative and Bortolato has now started putting decent points on the board.

Dowhan replacement in alpine, Franco ColapintoIn Hungary, confidence has been recorded even in Hungary: “The moment I was closest to Pierre (Galley), it is in my first race (Imola), so we are just trying to understand why.” Last year, Colapinto was highly expected from Colapinto, given the level of strong performance in Williams last year – but it seems that as ahead he pushes Alpine, as hard it bites it.

Andrea Kimi Antoneley A turbulent young woman with Mercedes has ended the F1 season and only seems that the team has started reconstructing their confidence after demolishing the first-folded rear-sizes geometry seen in Emola.

“It is difficult to drive cars in this era,” the beerman insisted. “And you need full confidence in the car, because the level of the downforce is the highest that we have seen. So when it goes wrong, it goes wrong on a large scale and you cannot catch it.

“So if you are not confident, it is an infinite lap time loss. And there were some scenario in merit where I was not fully convinced with the car, and the lap time I had lost time was extremely inconsistent for differences in confidence.

“It is really easy to get into the spiral of bad levels of confidence, and so it is really important to grab it back as soon as possible. But this is a real issue, and of course with more experience, you learn how to overcome it. But it is difficult at this level in our career.”

It is clear that in the next season, regardless of how the grid performs in order, the drivers thrive, they will have a special set of skills. They will be those who learn quickly, which are the most adaptable, and who can shed the most quickly underlying habits that are holding them back.

There will also be a premium on the mental bandwidth, – the ability to awaken many excitement inputs while maintaining widespread awareness about what is happening in the race in front and behind the immediate view.

So this world’s Max Vastapense and Fernando Alonsos may feel relatively sure about their future. Everyone else? To knockle down for some homework …
