Alonso Warns F1’s New Rules Diminish Driver Skill | F1 News
Description
Fernando Alonso is sounding the alarm on F1’s 2026 regulations, warning that driver talent may be overshadowed by battery management as cars split power 50/50 between electric and gas. He calls the resulting “yo-yo” racing — where overtakes happen simply by having more energy — a betrayal of the sport’s core skill, recalling how drivers used to outbrake or find clever lines to pass. With Aston Martin struggling this season and the Belgian GP looming, Alonso fears tracks like Spa will amplify the energy management challenge, making power deployment more critical than ever — and less about raw driving ability.
