from Lights Out Lets Chat! · host Michaela Wollmann
This week I’m joined by someone who has been watching Formula 1 way longer than I have — Mike — and we’re breaking down what the 2026 reset could actually mean for the sport.We talk active aero, smaller and lighter cars, the boost button replacing DRS, and whether these changes will truly create closer racing… or just new chaos. We also dive into dirty air (yes, we explain it properly), sustainability goals, and why safety continues to evolve in F1 — from stronger survival cells to updated front wing designs.Plus, we give our early thoughts on who could benefit most from the new regulations, which teams look strong heading into the season, and which drivers might have more pressure than ever.Is 2026 about to make Formula 1 better racing — or just different racing?Let’s talk about it.
