Episode Details

Formula One teams face potential startline chaos in the 2026 season due to the removal of the MGU-H component, causing turbo lag and making it harder to spool up engines quickly. Ferrari developed a low-inertia turbo to counter this, but other teams are now raising alarms. This issue is not new, as seen in Formula Twos 2018 turbo switch, where stalls plagued starts and led to incidents like crashes. Formula One has anti-stall safety nets, but experts warn against prioritizing edges over the sports health. Officials suggest tweaking rules for a few extra grid revving seconds to smooth things out, but cooperation is needed to prevent a rocky launch next year.
