F1: FIA says Formula One’s 2026 rules will need refining
The HinduFormula One’s governing body said it recognised concerns about the sport’s proposed technical regulations for 2026 but assured teams and drivers on Saturday that further refinements were in the pipeline. The FIA published an overview of the new rules at the Canadian Grand Prix on Thursday and said the new generation of ‘nimble’ cars would be lighter, with better efficiency and handling. Williams’s Alex Albon told reporters, “I don’t want to speak out of turn but I think it’s going to be very slow, extremely slow.” The Thai’s team boss James Vowles said the performance difference to a Formula Two car could be as little as a few seconds. FIA single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis said approval by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council by the end of the month was only a first step.
