Amid all the talk about 2026's hybrid engines and how they will be deployed, getting to F1's lower weight limit may well cause teams the biggest headache of all.
The minimum car weight for F1's new rules era has been set at 768kg, 32kg down on the current limit of 800kg. This has largely been achieved by reducing the size of the cars, with the maximum wheelbase cut by 200mm to 3400mm and the width reduced from 2000m to 1900mm. Pirelli was also tasked with introducing narrower tyres, which will help.
