Things won’t change much because these rules are aero-dependent, and Newey has nailed aero development for F1. But it doesn’t mean other teams can make progress in aero development. They know it’s just trying things until they find something that works. Most teams have the engine part controlled by now.

The new rules for 2026 will make aero less important, and may give a better opportunity to other teams. But I’m praying that we don’t get something similar to the Mercedes dominance when hybrids arrived.

That being said, I still expect Max to be there fighting for a championship, even if the Red Bull is negatively impacted by the new rules.
