Adrian Newey believes the new engine rules for 2026 will lead to unusual scenarios while negotiating slower corners on the F1 calendar. F1 introduces very different engine and chassis regulations in 2026, with the sport moving towards introducing a 50/50 split between the internal combustion engine and electrical output, meaning an increased focus on energy recovery.

Adrian Newey believes the new engine regulations in F1 in 2026 will lead to strange scenarios at slow corners like Monaco's hairpin.

This means that, at low-speed corners, such as the hairpin at Monaco – the slowest corner on the calendar – the engines will be heard at full revs despite the low speed., Red Bull’s chief technical officer Adrian Newey admitted it’s going to be a very strange scenario to adjust to. While the engine regulations have been defined, the chassis regulations that are being moulded around them have yet to be fully nailed down as the teams work with the FIA to figure out how best to approach the issue of active aerodynamics.

“It is fair to say that the engine regulations were created and pushed through without very much thought to the chassis side of it,” he said. The new regulations are aimed at introducing power units and hybrid systems which lend themselves to the automotive sector’s quest for greater sustainability and road relevance – also a major focus in F1 as part of the push to become net carbon zero by 2030.

“I guess it is what their marketing people said that we should be doing and I understand that: it’s potentially interesting because F1 can be a fast-track developer of technology.
