Which F1 Team Is Ahead In The 2026 Engine Regulations Battle?

Mate I wish I found your channel earlier. You make such interesting videos

The disadvantage Aston is having for 2026 is Lance stroll 😴😴😴

Mercedes speaking confidently about the engine regulations reminds me of Renault how confident they were abut turbo hybrid regs and then we know what happened 😂

I feel Ferrari will start off quite well as they have decent knowledge with the inwash concept, as the F1-75 and pre Barcelona SF-23 were based on inwash concept.

Your team kit change for every team was nice.....

“As well as the aerodynamics of Adrian Newey”- oh have I got news for you 😂

As someone who's studying engine engineering in an Audi university, the more focus on electric power might be good for Audi, however, I don't think they can do much on the chassis side with the Hinwil factory, which is more important in this ground-effect era; have a decent engine, have a good floor and a suspension that gives the car a stable aerodynamic platform.

My man changed his look for every team. Respect

I think it's either Ferrari or Red Bull, I don't even consider alpine. Merc lost all exceptional staff to red bull and Ferrari, Honda's power train staff almost all went to Red Bull. So I don't expect something crazy from Mercedes. Don't think Audi will come into F1 with success from the start.

You are a great creator!!! Thank you for this video. Most awaited video for me.

Killing it with these video ideas! 🔥🔥🔥 Keep up that good work

I think Aston/Honda is looking like a good combination. Might not jump them to the top, but I expect a jump at least.

👍👍Looking forward to the next upload ❤

Apparently its Ferrari and mercedes that are ahead of the rest with ferrari having a bit of an edge when its come to the whole regulations

One of your most interesting episodes and that is saying a lot! ( The quick Alpine costume change 😂)

Don't count out Red Bull on the engine front just yet. People tend to forget that it were Red Bull engineers that sorted out the horrible 2014 Renault engine, not Renault themselves. They have a lot more know-how in that area than people think.

Red Bull will be good once they get all together because they're a great team and they've hired a lot of talent from Honda and Mercedes, but i think they'll struggle during the first years of this new regulations because of their lack of experience. Sure, Horner claiming they're 70 years behind Ferrari makes nonsense, but it's true that they're going to be a new engine manufacturer while Mercedes and Ferrari are way more experienced. If you ask me, I think the first years of this new regulations will be something similar to the 2017-2019 period, with Mercedes and Ferrari at the front and Red Bull slowly catching up

The biggest deal is that the engine freeze is gone, that means development on the engine year round, the Brixworth team is very capable, but Honda also has the biggest development center in the world. Also keep an eye for Ferrari, the rules ban the Split Turbo, and Ferrari is the only team without a Split Turbo and that can be a money saver because there is a separate cost cap for engine development to avoid the incredible amount of Dyno hours the other engines had, so proven designs will reap the benefit rather than super exotic.

Keep it up lad ❤

Great video! I went to an event in DC that Red Bull hosted and got to see the RB7. It was extremely loud and very cool. I’m not going to lie I do not have a lot of faith in the 2026 regulations but I’m really hoping they will produce loud engines and good, fast racing. Great analysis though and can’t wait to see who takes the step in 2026 (really hoping it’s Ferrari)
