2026 regulations

[lavish whale]

Want to know what the 2026 regulations. Also wondering if 2026 regulations are a good or bad thing to f1. Or if it might be beneficial to the sport.

there is no drs anymore

from what i know
DRS is removed and replaced with MOM (Manual Overide Mode)
Uhmm the length and width is reduced but like not that much (idk specific numbners)
combustion engine will do 50% power and then the hybrid system will do the other 50%
The MGU-H is being removed but the MGU-K will be stronger i guess
uhh lets see... front wing and rear wing is active aero now
x mode and z mode i think thats what theyre called

[knotty imp]

its not being called mom anymore, also i thought x and y mode were alternative names taken into consideration instead of mom

[exotic surge]

That would be correct, drs would be compared to x and z mode as it’s basically drs with the front wing as well and can be used on basically any straight even if you’re in front, MOM would be overpowered ers as it’s the electric battery that can be deployed which will give a massive speed advantage

[knotty imp]

well i mean, they already decided against the name "mom", that's what i was trying to say

[dull girder]

ye

they said it wwas to avoid "confusion"

[exotic surge]

Yeah fair

[scenic mural]

It’s called override mode or overtake mode now. The X and Z modes won‘t have a specific name
