About this episode

We look ahead to Formula 1’s new rules world in 2026 in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.


Samarth Kanal and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to explain the challenges of the all-new cars and the expected impact on the racing - and whether fans should be encouraged or worried by what might happen.  


We delve into the way the new power units will work and what they might mean for the competitive order. 


The driving styles and potential for an offset between qualifying and race pace are also tackled. 


And the big question of who might thrive or flounder under the new rules is also taken on as the debut of the new cars fast approaches.
