The FIA has unveiled the most substantial transformation in Formula 1 history with the 2026 technical regulations, introducing a fundamental re-imagining of how cars will be powered and controlled. These changes represent a shift toward more agile, sustainable, and efficient vehicles that promise to reshape racing dynamics while pushing electric-hybrid technology to unprecedented levels in motorsport.

In an unprecedented move that could reshape the future of global motorsport governance, Swiss-French racing driver Laura Villars has launched legal proceedings against the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), challenging the very foundation of the organization's presidential election process. The 28-year-old's bold action has thrust motorsport's governing body into a legal showdown just weeks before its December election, raising fundamental questions about democracy, transparency, and power in Formula 1's ruling institution.

Pirelli marked its landmark 500th Formula 1 Grand Prix as the sport’s official tyre partner at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, consolidating its unique legacy and technical influence as F1’s exclusive supplier since 2011.
