A little over a month before the first test of 2026 - which will take place behind closed doors in Barcelona - Formula 1 and the FIA have shared a new impression of what the next generation of cars should look like in the upcoming years.
The FIA has published renders based on the recently updated technical regulations. Next year’s cars will feature active aerodynamics, slightly smaller dimensions with a 200mm shorter wheelbase and a 100mm narrower chassis, and a marginally lower minimum weight of 770kg - although many in the paddock question how realistic that number is for teams, especially in the first year of the cycle.
