For the 2026 season, the championship scoring and sporting regulations have been adjusted to accommodate the expanded 22-car grid following the entry of the 11th team, Cadillac. Championship Points System While the grid has expanded to 11 teams, the FIA confirmed that points are still only awarded to the top 10 finishers in a Grand Prix. The proposal to extend points to 12th place was officially rejected to maintain the prestige of a points-scoring finish. Grand Prix Points Table: | Position | Points | |---|---| | 1st | 25 | | 2nd | 18 | | 3rd | 15 | | 4th | 12 | | 5th | 10 | | 6th | 8 | | 7th | 6 | | 8th | 4 | | 9th | 2 | | 10th | 1 |
- Fastest Lap Point: This bonus point has been abolished as of the 2025 season and is no longer awarded in 2026.
- Sprint Race Points: Points are awarded to the top 8 finishers in Sprint sessions (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). Revised Qualifying Format To manage the 22-car field (11 teams), the knockout format for Qualifying has been updated to ensure the final "Top 10" shootout remains unchanged.
- Q1: 22 cars start. The bottom 6 drivers are eliminated (leaving 16).
- Q2: 16 cars start. The bottom 6 drivers are eliminated (leaving 10).
- Q3: The final 10 drivers compete for Pole Position. Sporting Regulation Updates
- Young Driver Requirement: Teams are now required to field a "Young Driver" (those with two or fewer Grand Prix starts) in two Free Practice 1 (FP1) sessions per car per season, totaling four sessions per team.
- Testing: Pre-season testing has been expanded to nine days (three sessions of three days each) to allow teams and engine manufacturers (Audi, Red Bull-Ford, etc.) to calibrate the new 2026 Power Units.
- Energy Management: Drivers must now manually manage the Manual Override and Recharge Modes, as the reliance on electrical energy is significantly higher than in the 2022–2025 era.

Entry settings
2026 F1 Technical Architecture The 2026 season introduces the "Nimble Car" concept, featuring a 30kg weight reduction, narrower chassis dimensions, and a radical shift in how drivers manage energy and aerodynamics through specific cockpit-controlled modes. Aerodynamic Modes To balance the high-drag requirements of cornering with the efficiency needed for the new power units on straights, cars utilize Active Aerodynamics on both the front and rear wings.
- Cornering Mode: The default high-downforce state. Active wing elements are deployed to maximize surface area and angle of attack, providing the grip necessary for high-speed stability.
- Attack Mode: The low-drag configuration used on straights. Both front and rear wing flaps shift to a neutral position, significantly reducing air resistance to maximize top speed and conserve energy. Power Unit & Energy Management The 2026 Power Unit removes the MGU-H and increases the electrical output of the MGU-K to 350 kW. This 50/50 power split between combustion and electricity is managed via three primary deployment states:
- Boost Mode (Tactical Deployment) The standard ERS deployment used during a flying lap. The system balances battery drain with the internal combustion engine to maintain a consistent power curve of approximately 1,000 hp.
- Manual Override (Overtaking) Replacing the traditional DRS "flap," this mode provides a tactical advantage for a car following within a specific distance.
- Function: While the lead car's energy deployment tapers off after 290 km/h, the following car can trigger Manual Override to maintain full 350 kW electrical deployment up to 337 km/h.
- Requirement: Access is granted based on proximity sensors rather than a fixed "DRS Zone."
- Recharge Mode (Energy Recovery) Given the massive 350 kW demand of the MGU-K, drivers must periodically enter Recharge Mode during a race. This involves aggressive energy harvesting during braking and "lift-and-coast" phases to replenish the Energy Store for the next Boost or Manual Override cycle. Summary of 2026 Vehicle Dynamics | Feature | Specification | |---|---| | Total Power | ~1,000 hp (P_{ICE} + P_{MGU-K}) | | Electrical Split | 50% (350 kW) | | Overtaking Tool | Manual Override (Electrical Boost) | | Aero Control | Active Front & Rear Wings | | Fuel Type | 100% Carbon-Neutral Sustainable Fuel | | Chassis | 3400mm Wheelbase / 1900mm Width |

Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
For the 2026 season, the technical regulations shift to a new Power Unit architecture defined by a 50% thermal and 50% electric power split.
Power Unit Manufacturing
Formula 1 teams may act as Power Unit Manufacturers, designing and building their own propulsion systems (e.g., Ferrari). Alternatively, teams may source complete Power Units from external suppliers (e.g., Mercedes, Honda/Audi).
Technical Architecture
The 2026 Power Unit consists of four main components:
- Internal Combustion Engine (ICE): 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged.
- Energy Store (ES): High-capacity battery.
- Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K): Integrated into the rear axle.
- Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H): Integrated into the turbocharger.
The elimination of the previous MGU-H is incorrect; the MGU-H is reintegrated in this cycle but strictly paired with energy recovery to the battery, though the MGU-K takes on a significantly larger role in deployment.
Performance and Deployment
The 2026 regulations mandate a near 50/50 split between combustion power and electrical energy deployment.
$$ P_{total} = P_{ICE} + P_{electric} $$
Where $P_{electric}$ is deployed for a significantly higher percentage of the lap compared to previous eras. The maximum electrical power output is set to 350 kW.
Reliability Constraints
To control costs and ensure parity, the number of Power Unit elements available per driver is restricted:
| | Element | Quantity per Season | | | ---------------- | ------------------- | | | Internal Combustion Engine | 3 | | | | Turbocharger | 3 | | | | MGU-K | 3 | | | | MGU-H | 2 | | | | Energy Store | 2 | | | | Control Electronics | 2 | |
Exceeding these limits results in grid penalties, directly impacting race strategy and starting positions.
Cost Cap and Power Unit Unit Freeze
Manufacturers are subject to a Power Unit Cost Cap, limiting expenditure on research, development, and manufacturing. Furthermore, a homologation freeze is in effect for the Internal Combustion Engine, locking mechanical specifications for the season to bridge performance gaps, while the electrical systems and software remain open for development.
