[German Auto MotorSport] New Details on F1 Regulations 2026
Red-Bull-Teamchef Christian Horner warnt, dass die neuen Motoren ab 2026 der Formel 1 die Show stehlen könnten. Doch welche der Kritikpunkte sind berechtigt und welche begründen sich auf fehlerhafte Simulationen? Wir haben bei den Experten nachgefragt und interessante technische Infos bekommen.
Key takeaways:
Gearboxes will have 6 gears instead of 8.
The cars will have to use 30kg of fuel only to generate electric power.
The wheelbase will be shortened by 30 cm

...why?
…why?
According to the article, the existing F1 team vetoed energy regeneration at the front axle because they're afraid of Audi for whatever reason.
Yeah but, it's very inefficient to have a gas generator instead of just using the gas to run the motor, right?

In Toyota road hybrids it's actually more efficient because charging the battery at constant lower revs burns less fuel than increasing revs to accelerate but that's just road cars, no idea about 2026 F1 cars.
Burning fuel is definitively less efficient than generating electricity under braking from the front axle.
No generally you can get really good efficiency out of doing that. Lost of rail locomotives do that and are pretty efficient.
