Lewis Hamilton cautiously welcomed forthcoming new regulations that include making cars 30kg lighter but he said: ‘It’s still heavy’
Lewis Hamilton has given only a cautious welcome to the plans for the next generation of Formula One cars set to be used in 2026, with the regulations defining a smaller, more agile car but the British driver has praised the effort to make a step forward in the new formula’s environmental considerations.
The engines under the new regulations will use fully sustainable fuel and in what the FIA described as a building on the world’s most efficient engines, will now utilise 300% more battery power, providing a 50-50 split with the internal combustion engine. As part of the new formula the drag reductions system – controversial and never wholeheartedly welcomed across the sport since its introduction in 2011 – is to be dropped. However, in an effort to improve overtaking prospects, the new cars are also intended to have lower drag and feature active aerodynamics with front and rear wings that can open on straights to increase speed but close for downforce in cornering.
