Formula 1 is set for its next major regulatory shake-up in 2026...
The new Formula 1 chassis and power unit regulations on their way for 2026 need to be delayed by two years, according to former racer Karun Chandhok.
And that is the 2026 reset, as Chandhok made it be known on the Sky F1 podcast that he wanted these new rules to be pushed back two years so that we can see the grid come closer together, before the fresh split which he anticipates with the new-look chassis and power unit rules.
“Next year will be closer and then the hybrid rules are coming out for ’26. Somebody is going to get it massively right, and somebody is going to get it massively wrong.”Chandhok’s Sky F1 podcast co-star Natalie Pinkham had a more positive outlook on the rule change, claiming “convergence is inevitable” as ultimately “the cream rises to the top again”.
