Will the new regulations for F1's 2026 season do better at the racetrack than the previous ones?

Surely, it will do, at least in the first seasons, especially if your preferred team performs better than their rivals, because everybody will start from scratch, and we will have a new balance of forces

Although F1 is so successful in financial terms and has been the pinnacle of motorsport for so long, it has lost in its own greatness.

The greatness is so great that nobody has the courage or the clarity of vision to align it with what is to come. In some ways, this is happening because legacy carmakers in Europe are silently been absorbed by Chinese investment, and everybody is interested in cashing in on this unsustainable business model; they are always glorifying the past and redoing something already done several times with a little new twist.

All because they can't let the past go and invest in the sustainable future that is very different from what we have now.

It will not work at all; they will do this, do that, but nothing will work for real, even if they get even richer in this process.

The more they persist in this course of action, the more likely they are to become the horseback racing of the future.

Sad, but nobody can see beyond this bubble that, at some time in the future, it will burst.

Is there hope? Of course there is! They must invest in radical innovations, variable geometry beyond movable flaps, unsprung aerodynamics, new propulsion systems that could have ICE engines or not, new UI/UX, and so on.

There are several posts here about these radical innovations. There isn't more because nobody cares. Do you care?

All the best.
