Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali wants to ensure that the 2026 F1 rule changes are explained in "simple terms" across the media to preserve the championship's appeal to casual audiences.
Next year's regulations affect both the chassis and powertrain; F1 cars will be smaller next season, with active aerodynamics and further commitment to hybridisation. This includes a near-50/50 split between the outputs of the internal combustion engine and motor generator unit (closer to 53/47), with provision for an overboost system that will operate as a replacement for DRS.
