The horse has bolted. Deja vu pervades. The cliches amass.
Nothing can stop Formula 1’s latest rules reset coming in 2026. The regulations are defined, and the teams have been producing parts for their initial wind tunnel models for almost a month. There will be quotes galore all year from their bosses insisting next season will be “ours” – that poor performance in the current one therefore doesn’t matter.
The pre-season that follows the one now upon us is going to be even more interesting than normal. And then, the inevitable. One team will emerge comfortably above the rest in the ‘reset’ pecking order. Perhaps there will be a false dawn multi-team scrap early doors – like 2017 or 2022. But this story has played out every time F1 has told it in the modern era.
