Back to EpisodesF1 Qualifying: Drivers Revolt Against Energy Rules
Description
Formula Ones qualifying sessions in 2026 are under fire due to energy management issues, turning them into a farce. Drivers are forced to adopt weird strategies, coasting through corners to save energy, which negates their aggressive driving skills. Top drivers like Sainz and Alonso are expressing their discontent, with Alonso calling high-speed turns the new charging stations. The FIA is under pressure to make changes, with drivers pushing for more consistent energy deployment and a reduction in electric boost for safer, driver-focused laps. Talks are ongoing, but Hamilton is skeptical about the outcome.
