The FIA have revealed that the F1 2026 regulations will be made available to view for the first time from Thursday 6 June at 3.30pm CEST [2.30pm UK].

These regulations are poised to significantly alter the sport, as both the power unit and chassis regulations are scheduled for simultaneous changes.

The modifications to the sport’s rules have been talked about for a long time, with the most significant changes to Formula 1’s power units since the transition to turbo hybrid power in 2014.

The focus is set to shift significantly towards electrical power, with a probable equal distribution between internal combustion and electric power, especially as the power output of the MGU-K feature is expected to triple. In addition, for the first time, the power units will operate on sustainable fuel that is completely carbon-free.

The drive towards creating more sustainable engines is reported to be a significant factor in attracting new manufacturers such as Audi to the sport. It has also resulted in partnerships like Honda and Aston Martin collaborating to produce a factory power unit.

Starting 2026, Red Bull will begin manufacturing their own power units for the first time through Red Bull Powertrains. They will be partnering with US automotive powerhouse, Ford, for this venture.

With this being the next significant regulations reset in Formula 1, factory teams are already allocating resources to their F1 2026 power units in order to hit the ground running when these changes take effect.

Reports expect the cars’ chassis to be slightly shorter and possibly have a lower minimum weight than the current models on the grid. Over time, these models have become larger and longer due to the space needed for power units and increased safety measures.

Consequently, the cars are likely to have a different appearance and sound from the 2026 season. The FIA’s planned reveal will provide an initial look at what the regulations permit and, importantly, what they do not allow the teams to maneuver for their F1 2026 vehicles.
