## Resource

F1 2026 rules explained. Active aero, boost mode, overtaking mode, sustainable fuels, Bahrain testing, no DRS, new power units, mega joules, battery management and what it means for fans. In this live session, we answer the biggest questions around the 2026 Formula 1 regulations. Do F1 cars have hazard lights now? What is the difference between boost and overtake modes? Will Monaco finally improve? Will following F1 become harder for fans? How critical are sustainable fuels? How does active aero actually work? Will power units make drivers manage energy every lap? Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah also discuss on the Inside Line F1 Podcast whether the Bahrain testing should be broadcast live as teams explore the new era. #F1 #F12026 Learn more about your ad choices.
