What you need to know about the F1 2026 regulations
The F1 2026 regulations mark one of the biggest overhauls in F1 history. For the first time, these historic cars will take action on Monday, January 26th, as the Barcelona shakedown testing week begins. This event will serve as the first true test for all the cars outside of simulations under the new set of regulations. These regulations have made changes to the PU for the first time since 2014 and altered the chassis from the more downforce-focused 2022 regulations.
