TLDR

This article from Motorsport Technology delves into the new 2026 F1 aero regulations, focusing on adaptive aero, suspension, front wing, and inwash philosophy. The FIA aims to reduce car wake to encourage closer racing, coordinating PU rules for efficiency. The new rules bring back inwash aerodynamics, adaptive aero, and flat floor/diffuser, challenging aero departments. The front wing must adopt a curved spoon profile, fitting between the front wheels, with active aero elements and underwing fences. Suspension changes include a return to pushrod at the rear and a multilink setup at the front.
