Are F1's 2026 Regulations Ruining the Sport?
from Bar None · host BFM Media
F1 roared back to life in May, with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli leading the championship charge. The prospect of a new champion is exciting, but F1's 2026 season — built around brand new regulations — is proving to be challenging, with drivers and hardcore viewers alike complaining that the racing, while exciting, feels “artifcial”. Instead of going flat out, drivers now have to manage and harvest energy, with the 50-50 split between the conventional internal combustion engine and the electric system proving to be one of many challenges. Racing driver Jazeman Jaafar drops by to share his thoughts on the new F1 regulations, and whether they have taken the fun out of racing at the highest level.Image Credit: Motorsport Photography F1 / Shutterstock.com
