Racing (Car) : Formula 1 2026 Season Thread

[SnoopZ]

Testing is scheduled for January 26-30 at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

New car and engine regulations will result in smaller, lighter cars with active aerodynamics, replacing DRS with power boost modes, and new hybrid power units featuring a 50/50 split between combustion and electric power using 100% sustainable fuel.

Snippets...

The new Formula 1 engines are sounding like Tie Fighters this year!

Lewis Hamilton to get a new race engineer this year, hopefully they will work better together than last year.

I really like the glossy Red Bull livery, don't like the shirt Max is wearing though, it fits better on Isack.

I think the 2026 cars look nice based on livery reveals this week, I think this season is going to be exciting and I can't wait for the official testing to start to see how good or bad each team could be.

Active Aero looks interesting. Flappy Bird SF26 addition

Yes the Ferrari looks good compared to last year I'm also digging the Mercedes livery.

Alpine just showed their 2026 livery.... is all I have to say.

Well at least the front runners will recognise them from last year when being lapped

I'm not sure why they had to add white but I'm still hooked looking at it what a beautiful machine



Lets go Leclerc

Nightmare for Williams, they will miss the first test, rumour is they failed the crash test.
