Sports News] Despite the recent rejection of Andretti’s application to join
Formula 1 (F1), there are reports suggesting that Andretti still expects to
enter F1 in 2026. This is due to the major changes that F1 will undergo in
2026. Once the new technical regulations are confirmed and come into effect,
Andretti will begin developing a car for the 2026 season. If the team complies
with the new regulations, Andretti may still have the opportunity to join F1 as
a new member. The news of Andretti potentially joining F1 in 2026 has generated
surprise and discussion within the racing community. It is believed that this
move could elevate the reputation of F1 to another level. The regulations for
2026 will bring significant changes, particularly in the areas of power units
and fuel usage. The 2026 season will witness the complete implementation of
100% renewable fuel. Additionally, there will be a greater emphasis on
recycling and utilizing electrical energy, allowing drivers to both defend and
attack on the track. Currently, the kinetic energy recovery system in F1 has an
output of 120 kilowatts. However, with the enhancements planned for the 2026
season, it is expected to reach an output of 350 kilowatts, nearly three times
the current output. These changes aim to promote sustainability and
technological advancements within the sport.
