'Straight Mode' reduces drag by ~1/5, according to a CFD simulation I requested from https://t.me/MayaSimulation!

Key points:
- Downforce is more affected (-31%) than drag (-21%).
- Rear wing drag reduces massively (-70%); next up is Front wing (-43%).
- Tyres (Front and Rear Corner) produce most of the drag. They also produce lift, like the chassis!
- The floor produces ~47% of the car's downforce in Corner Mode, and ~76% (!!) in Straight Mode.
- The wake stays much closer to the car in Straight Mode. This makes drag reduction come from the wheels, chassis, and floor, too!

[The F1 model is not optimised, as shown by the high 0.715 CdA in Straight Mode. Teams can find ways to go below 0.6 ;)]

Length of 8th Gear per Team and PU

Rules allow max fuel flow starting from 10500rpm --> peak power around here as friction increases above that.

At 10500rpm, McL is travelling at just 288 km/h... Audi? 319km/h!

Possible implications of this 31km/h (10%!) difference:
- McL expects a low top speed due to high drag in Straight Mode and/or plans little deployment at high speed. Additionally, the Mercedes engine might remain close to its peak power well above 10500rpm.
- Audi expects a high top speed, its PU loses a lot of power above 10500, and plans to have a more balanced ERS deployment between medium and high speeds. Due to the very long gear, they'll likely have to downshift at full throttle once the clipping starts!

The three Ferrari-Powered teams share the same ratio. Same for Red Bull/Racing Bulls, and Alpine/Williams.

F1 teams are allowed to change ratios just once throughout the season.

[Calculation approach: median (rpm/speed) ratio using all the laps from Day 3]

Each driver's median 0-200km/h time using ALL the starts from the last F1 test!

- RUS was quickest: 5.30s, very close to last gen cars!
- 🟥 LEC and 🟧 PIA almost matched him.
- RBPT-powered drivers were quick. Instead, Cadillac and Audi struggled ⚠️

ALL the data in the first comment. Two main points:
- 🟩 Aston did just ONE proper launch to 200km/h (which wasn't bad).
- 🟦 VER made one crazy-quick launch: just 4.36s to 200km/h! He launched from the pit lane, revving to 11000rpm for some time, then dropped to 5000rpm and was slighshot forwards.

Ferrari’s “Rotating Wing” is the wildest concept since DAS - Here's how it works!

🔴 Corner-Mode (Traditional): Max downforce, moderate drag.

🟢 Parachute-Mode (90°): downforce drops to ~0, drag skyrockets, possibly helping slow the car at the start of braking (🔵 Straight → 🔴 Corner) when speed and drag are highest.

🔵 Straight-Mode (180°): wing faces the OPPOSITE direction. With a cambered flap, this minimises drag… and even generates lift!

Ferrari tailored the rear end to exploit this:
- Highly cambered wing profiles → rotation massively reduces drag.
- Exaust deflector→ gases hit the wing’s lower side, boosting downforce in 🔴 Corner Mode and helping cancel drag in 🔵 Straight Mode.

Possible effects:
✅ Less drag in Straight-Mode
✅ Higher drag at braking start
✅ Reduced rolling resistance on straights
⚠️ Less stable initial braking?
⚠️ Higher tyre wear on straights?

Only time will tell, but things like this and DAS are what make F1 what it is! 😃

⚠️Getting the deployment strategy right will be a huge performance differentiator this year...

TOP (Vertical axis) VS AVERAGE SPEED (Laptime, Horizontal) IN EACH TEAM'S BEST LAP

Cadillac reached 343 km/h on the main straight; Aston? Just 317. Yet, things are not looking that bad for Aston: power was actually decent for most of the lap, except for the main straight.

They were as quick as Cadillac out of T3, T10, and faster out of T13 and T15! For both, speed in T12 was limited by the engine, and Aston decided to deploy more there.

The top 3 laps (RUS, PIA, LEC) all had a moderate speed on the main straight. Still huge differences deployment-wise: Ferrari deployed the least out of T3 and in T12, and the most out of T13!

Audi, which had very low top speeds in the past test, has finally tested a higher-deployment mode.

PU averages:
1) RBPT ✅
2) Ferrari -5.8 km/h 👌
3) Mercedes -7.5
4) Audi -13.5 ⚠️
5) Honda -15.5 ❌

- VER reached 344 km/h on Day 1, and no one has beaten it since!
- The 2 fastest cars have an RBPT engine.
- Ferrari was 7km/h faster than Cadillac; Mercedes 6km/h faster than Alpine.
- Honda struggled the most, yet improved day after day (303→318→326). They are running a detuned mode to safeguard the PU. Audi's lack of top speed seems genuine, though.

No team is running full-power yet. Still, RBPT's PU is looking strong, while Audi's and Honda's gap looks due to more than just a different PU setting.

What's your prediction?

Verstappen: "As a pure driver, I enjoy driving flat out, and at the moment, you cannot drive like that."

He was right, look at Turn 12: LEC and NOR were full-gas for ~300m, yet their cars couldn't exceed 240km/h! 😳

2026 F1 Rules allow the ERS to generate NEGATIVE power (recharge battery) when the driver is full-gas, up to -250kW. As the ICE power is ~400kW, the resulting power is as little as 400-250=150 kW... about half that of a Formula 3! ⚠️

The driver is full throttle, yet it's the software that decides whether power should be 200hp (240km/h in T12) or 1000hp (330km/h on the main straight), or something in between: the engineers have more control on the instantaneous power than the driver!

Therefore, LEC and NOR didn't have to lift in T12, as the power was controlled electronically there.

My prediction was right: 2026 F1 cars will be WAY faster on the straights! 🚀

Esteban Ocon reached 355 km/h once he was allowed full deployment, and no evidence of slipstream!

In his best '25 quali lap, he reached 'just' 327km/h - and he mentioned reaching the top speed EARLIER on the straight in '26.

The drag drop is massive (-37%), even assuming the ’25 car was in full ERS harvest (–120 kW), to be subtracted from ~615 kW ICE power (~840 hp). The ’26 car was +28 km/h faster despite a ≥95 kW (130 hp) power deficit.

Back in December, I predicted CxA = 0.66 → 359 km/h top speed, very close to real data (355 km/h → 0.68).

💡At least one (likely both) is true:
- The new cars have extremely low drag.
- Ferrari's new ICE is stronger than F1 predicted (400kW).

What’s certain: these cars will fly on the straights - and Catalunya isn’t even low-drag!

***FIRST LOOK AT 2026 TELEMETRY***

VER’s top speed was already +24 km/h vs his best 2025 quali lap. 😳

Conversely, Stroll barely exceeded 300 km/h due to Honda PU issues - Alonso PTSD incoming ⚠️

VER lapped 4.375s slower than in quali, yet was already gaining time on the two main straights...

Clipping (speed drop at full-throttle from ERS power cut-off) looks better than expected: good news, F1 fans!

Big design differences in the top 4 WCC teams' front wings! 💡

🟠 McL: Complex design, featuring an outboard winglet! Loaded midspan.

⚫️ Merc: fixed primary flap, only the secondary can move → potentially less drag reduction.

🔵 RBR: Primary flap 'flat' (no camber).

🔴 Ferrari: only one to have the front wing actuator ON the wing (and not inside the nose) → could disrupt airflow?

Expect wings to look different in Melbourne!

Some of the main topics discussed in the article:

How Formula 1 changes in 2026

"One of the biggest rule shake-up in Formula 1’s 76-year history arrives this year—so wide-ranging that its real-world consequences are genuinely hard to predict."

- Aerodynamics and Bodywork: Smaller, Lighter, Less Downforce
- The Internal Combustion Engine: Less Fuel, New Constraints
- Energy Recovery: More Powerful, More Demanding, More Strategic
- Fuel Revolution: Sustainable, Synthetic, and Strategically Different
- Driver workload will increase

"2026 will therefore bring truly far-reaching changes for teams, designers, and drivers alike, and these challenges are so complex and wide-ranging that it is almost impossible for anyone to get everything right on the first attempt. [...] Meanwhile, the clock is ticking fast: in just over a month, the race-ready cars will already need to be shipped to Melbourne."

I can’t quite make sense of Mercedes’ front-wing actuation choice

- They’re the ONLY team not exploiting the 30 mm drag-reducing deflection allowed on the 🔵 primary flap, keeping it fixed. 🤯
- They rely solely on the 🟡 secondary flap’s 60 mm deflection.

Expect a less-loaded secondary plane to limit straight-line drag, with a more-loaded upper plane to compensate.

It’s the most puzzling thing I’ve seen so far. There must be an upside, but for now, only the downside is obvious. 🤔

Mercedes is famous for their clever solutions (e.g. DAS).

💡Interesting bits:
- The minimal centerline cooling makes up for the huge sidepod inlets (the opposite of Racing Bulls!) → Lower CoG, cleaner rear wing airflow.
- This is the first real car with an inwashing front wing.
- Back to front push-rod. Very rearward-rotated upper wishbone.
- Stepped shark fin.
- From video, the car has almost no rake.
- The bargeboard stays have an intriguing shape!

Considering Ferrari's frequent development issues, starting from a simple base might be a pro, not a cons.

2026 Mercedes: Comparison & Mass Analysis

The new Mercedes W17 DOES have sidepods - and keeps W16’s front and rear push-rod suspension layout.

The size reduction is striking: Mercedes’ wheelbase is over 30 cm shorter than in 2021, yet the car is 18 kg heavier!

DO NOT read on unless you're a nerd!

If a 2021 F1 car were simply scaled down to a 2026-style wheelbase, its mass would be:
752 × (3400 / 3724)³ = 572.3 kg
(since volume - and mass - scale with the cube of length).

Yet the 2026 car is almost 200 kg heavier than that! Why?

- F1 cars have very low “effective density”: much of the mass sits in components (e.g. PU) that don’t shrink when the car gets shorter.

- Some parts got HEAVIER, most notably the jump from 13″ to 18″ wheels.

A more conservative way to estimate the ‘expected’ mass is:
Wheelbase 3724mm → 3400mm
Track 2000mm → 1900mm
Same height

752*(3400/3724)*(1900/2000)=652.2kg, or still ~120kg less than the 2026 mandated minimum

🟪2025 vs 🟩2026
KEY DIFFERENCES 👇

- HUGE central inlet (~3× ERS power → far higher cooling needs);
- Radical front suspension rethink: much flatter upper wishbone and switch from PULL-rod to PUSH-rod;
- TINY front wingspan (+ active aero actuator);
- Far more complex endplate and outboard section.

The Pull→Push-rod switch, mainly aero-driven, is major and potentially critical (Ferrari’s failed push→pull change last year is a warning).

We still need clearer shots of the lower wishbone to assess anti-dive.

Intriguing design: 2026 F1 cars look radically different! 😁

I simulated a 🟥 2026 F1 car’s acceleration against 🟦 VER’s real Monza pole telemetry, and the result was shocking!

Narrower track + active aero slash drag, so 2026 cars accelerate much faster than ’25 cars.

ERS power will drop above 290 km/h, yet the drag reduction more than offsets the lower ICE power!

And that's without 'ERS Override': with that, maximum power will be retained until 337km/h!

After opening the DRS, the 2025 car did start closing the gap... but was still slower by the end of Monza's long straight!

I assumed a conservative 90% transmission efficiency for '26 and picked Monza to minimise ’25 drag… yet the acceleration gap stayed massive!

2026 cars will be ROCKETS! 🚀

The renders - NOT the physical show cars - released by

Scaling the effect: 0.26 / 540 × 840 ≈ 0.4 s/lap That means: - More ICE power; - More ERS power; - Lighter car at race start (Higher thermal efficiency with fixed fuel flow → Better fuel economy → Less fuel load). This mirrors the early ('14) V6 era, when…

Mercedes' (and RBR's?) "compression ratio trick" could be worth 4 tenths in Monza, and even more in the opening laps (~21s over a race: the difference between P2 and P6 this year)!

Let’s look at the numbers!

16:1 → mandated ’26 compression ratio (cold engine check)
18:1 → ’25 level (~ upper knock limit)

Reaching 18:1 in ’26 via thermal expansion would yield ~10 kW (~13 hp), requiring only a ~0.5 mm geometric change.

Currently, +13hp ICE power is worth ~0.26s/lap in Monza. But '26 ICEs will be far less powerful (~540hp vs ~840hp), so the same gain matters much more, since the ICE feeds the battery!
