Team changes

Audi will enter the sport for the first time, having purchased the existing Sauber team in 2024. The team will race in the 2024 and 2025 seasons as Kick Sauber, using Ferrari engines, before becoming the Audi factory team for 2026. As a result, Haas will become the only Ferrari customer team.^[26][27]

Ford will return to Formula One as an engine supplier for the first time since it provided engines for Jaguar, Jordan and Minardi, the latter as Cosworth, in 2004. It will form a partnership with Red Bull Powertrains, which will supply Red Bull Racing and their second team RB. Honda, which partially withdrew from Formula One in 2021 whilst remaining in the sport as partners to Red Bull Powertrains, will split from two Red Bull-owned teams, Red Bull Racing and RB, after seven and eight seasons, respectively, and relaunch a fully-fledged engine program starting with Aston Martin under Honda Racing Corporation banner, who will end their customer supply deal with Mercedes after seventeen consecutive seasons. Honda had previously collaborated with the Silverstone-based team as Jordan from 1998 to 2000 as Mugen Honda, and from 2001 to 2002 as Honda.^[28][29]

The Spanish Grand Prix will move from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló to a new street circuit in Madrid built around the IFEMA Exhibition Centre,^[46] with the former track's future being unknown due to its own coinciding contract for 2026.^[45]

New engine regulations are due to be introduced from the 2026 season. These engine regulations will see the turbocharged 1.6 V6 internal combustion engine configuration used since 2014 retained. The new power units will produce over 1,000 bhp (750 kW), although the power will come from different places. The MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit – Heat) will be banned, while the MGU-K's (Motor Generator Unit – Kinetic) output will increase to 470 bhp (350 kW) – previously the MGU-H and MGU-K produced a combined power output of 160 bhp (120 kW). The power output of the internal combustion part of the power unit will decrease to 540 bhp (400 kW) from 850 bhp (630 kW). In addition, fuel flow rates will be measured and limited based on energy, rather than mass or volume of the fuel itself. The new power units are due to be run on a fully sustainable fuel, being developed by Formula One.^[56][57]
