The headline numbers first. The useful explanation second. Official sources at the end of every page.

01 · CHASSIS + AERO
Original Amakuru schematic of an unbranded open-wheel race car with front and rear active-aero wings, floor and wheelbase callouts.

A smaller, smarter car.

The 2026 rules reshape the car around less mass, a tighter footprint and moveable aerodynamic wings.

Original conceptual block diagram showing a turbo V6, MGU-K, energy store and control electronics connected as a hybrid power unit.

The hybrid, simplified.

The 1.6-litre turbo V6 remains. The electrical side becomes more powerful, and the MGU-H is removed.

Read the explainer 03 · COMPOUNDS + GRIP
Original unbranded tyre explainer illustration showing a slick tyre, 18-inch rim and the soft, medium, hard, intermediate and wet colour coding.

Five slicks. Two wet-weather options.

A tyre is a performance choice: compound, temperature, wear and weather all shape the grip available to the driver.
