·What I've read and seen on some YouTube explanations about the new '26 specs......it looks like we are in for some dreary racing. 50% of the power has to come from the batteries (vs. about 16% now) which means drivers have to do a lot of regenerative braking to keep the batteries charged, probably lower speeds overall. The ICE component will produce a lot less power than before, something around 500 hp. F1 still has this 2030 goal of being carbon neutral. Anyway, like when they changed specs in 2014 the team that manages the new power plant requirements best will be the leader until the others catch up. Last time it was Mercedes, this time, who knows.

I've read that some fear the cars may be at full speed halfway down a long straight.
