F1® 2026: The New Power Game

F1® 2026: The New Power Game Explained

The roar of the engines is changing. While we wait for the 2026 season to officially kick off, the real battle is happening right now in the factories. At Senate Grand Prix, we’ve seen many eras of racing, but the upcoming power unit overhaul is truly a "complete reset" of the sport.

What’s Changing?

Starting in 2026, F1 will move to a 50/50 split. This means half the car's power comes from the traditional V6 engine and the other half from pure electricity. We are saying goodbye to the complex "MGU-H" (which recycles heat) and hello to a massive boost in kinetic energy. Best of all? The entire grid will run on 100% sustainable fuels.

The Heavy Hitters Join the Grid

The entry list for 2026 is a "Who’s Who" of global automotive giants.

Cadillac is officially entering the game, not just as a name, but as a full Works team and engine manufacturer. Backed by a massive $20 billion investment in hybrid technology, Cadillac is already flooding European showrooms with luxury electric cars. They aren’t here just to participate—they are here to dominate.

Joining them is Audi, which has hit the ground running as a full Works team and power unit supplier. By taking over the Sauber team, Audi is bringing German precision to the front of the grid from day one.

The Deadline

Manufacturers must submit their final designs to the FIA by March 1st. Once approved, the designs are "sealed," meaning teams can’t just change parts whenever they like. This keeps the competition fair and the racing intense.

Whether you’re watching from a luxury yacht or a grandstand, the 2026 era promises a louder, greener, and faster future.
