What a load of horse shite.
You want to cut costs? Three-litre ICE engines, and pump gas.

I think the sustainable fuels are kinda flying under the radar but will make a huge difference in the championship for whoever gets it right. I’m under the impression that each team, or at least each manufacturer, has to design their own sustainable fuel with their partners.
Mercedes- Petronas
Ferrari- Shell
Aston Martin- Aramco
Fernando has said he likes Aston because he thinks Aramco has the best sustainable fuel.
“ FIA has collaborated with Zemo Partnership, an independent provider of assurance services, to develop the Sustainable Racing Fuel Assurance Scheme (SRFAS). This scheme employs a robust third-party verification process to guarantee that all Formula 1 racing fuel meets the FIA's criteria for blended fuel composition and the sustainability of its advanced sustainable components (ASCs).”

Everyone should run on the same fuel

Sustainable fuel isn't going to be much of an issue. Unless one of these majors just has no clue what they are doing. Doesn't change anything on emissions and just pushes them to use a biomass for the base.
Basically just skipping the millions of years to go from fossil to fuel.
Single fuel source would kill a ton of sponsorship.

They do have to use the same type of fuel

With a single detection overtake line, will the passing car still be able to use it after they've made their pass? With the old DRS regulations, if you had a single detection point for multiple DRS zones, you could still use it even after you've passed and are in the next zone
All cars have the capability all laps (not sure on lap 1). There isn't a detection line, just a start use line.
So yes, if they pass in zone 1 they still have it in zone 2.

The fuel in the race cars makes up 1% of the total fuel usage of Formula 1.
They have two buttons, Boost and Overtake.
Boost is available at all times as long as your battery is charged.
Overtake is active if you are within 1 second when you pass the detection point. I think it is limited, but you decide when on the lap you want to use it.
ESPN article explaining the new terminology

Really want to cut costs? Eliminate boost and overtake.

McLaren sold one of their 2026 F1 cars at an auction a week or so ago. It sold for over $11 million, won’t be delivered to the buyer until 2028, and driving it will count against McLarens “testing of previous cars” allotted time and will be regulated by the FIA

The 2026 McLaren INDYCAR sold for “only” $850K. I think the owner will actually be able to drive it tho.

You know the cart mentioned in that article would be an absolute blast to rip around the old top gear test track.

I did a McLaren with my 5 year old daughter the other day. Pretty simple. She had a great time. Definitely not a replica.

First big controversy brewing with the new formula.
Two teams, believed to be Merc and Red Bull, have built engines that appear to have higher compression ratios at temp than at ambient.
The compression ratio is set at 18:1 and the engines are built with materials that would presumably expand and increase that ratio when they get up to temperature. The other manufacturers are asking for clarification and likely to protest if they are allowed to proceed.
Suggested that the move provides an extra 15hp.
Also, downloaded the regs and did some reading on the fuel requirements after the discussion the other day. Turns out that fuel power and not fuel flow will be measured next year. Basically denser energy fuel can be used to save weight and gain power, but less fuel can be flowed if that happens. What a concept.
