Formula 1 cars will be smaller, nimbler and more environmentally friendly from 2026, the sport's governing body the FIA has said.
And overtaking will be facilitated by a power-boost system for a car following another, to be known as manual override mode.The new hybrid engines, which triple the amount of electrical power used, have attracted two new manufacturers into F1 in the shape of Audi and Ford, and persuaded Honda to reverse its decision to quit the sport.
"Our aim, together with F1, was to produce a car that was right for the future of the sport's elite category. We believe we have achieved that goal."The FIA's announcement on Thursday, on the eve of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, is the first confirmation of the 2026 chassis rules - the changes to the engines have been known for two years.
FIA single-seater technical director Jan Monchaux said: "The DRS on the rear wing will not be used to facilitate overtaking any more. It will be used by default on every straight by every car to drop drag levels, because this comes with some strong benefits for energy consumption. Without the MGU-H, other means were needed to recover sufficient energy for the increased electrical power from the engine - which is being raised from 120kW to 350kW.
