I simulated a 🟥 2026 F1 car’s acceleration against 🟦 VER’s real Monza pole telemetry, and the result was shocking!

Narrower track + active aero slash drag, so 2026 cars accelerate much faster than ’25 cars.

ERS power will drop above 290 km/h, yet the drag reduction more than offsets the lower ICE power!

And that's without 'ERS Override': with that, maximum power will be retained until 337km/h!

After opening the DRS, the 2025 car did start closing the gap... but was still slower by the end of Monza's long straight!

I assumed a conservative 90% transmission efficiency for '26 and picked Monza to minimise ’25 drag… yet the acceleration gap stayed massive!

2026 cars will be ROCKETS! 🚀
