2026 Car Regulations | No More Diverse Rear Wings?

In 2026, track layout dictates electric deployment strategy far more than wing design (unfortunately for us wing-nerds)! 💡

Canada used to demand a careful balance between low drag (long straights) and downforce (especially rear, for corner exit speed and tyre life). But as Tim Goss (Racing Bulls' CTO) explained, active aero gives you both: high downforce through the lap, low drag when needed.

A standard wing works almost everywhere! A 'default' deployment strategy, instead, will not. 🪫
