The 2026 F1 cars have 30% less downforce. But they're the fastest ever in a straight line. George Russell watched from trackside at Barcelona. He said the main straight speeds were faster than anything he's ever seen. How? The new power units produce 350kW (470hp) from the electric motor alone. And without the MGU-H, all that energy goes straight to the rear wheels. Less downforce. More speed. That's 2026. #F1 #Formula1 #2026 #Engineering | Driver 61
