Real Reason F1 Cars Are Slower In 2026

In this episode, Alex and Lydia break down the reasons why F1 cars are slower in 2026 - and why it's by design by the FIA. The changes by the FIA which include new hybrid energy demands, have been criticised by some fans and even drivers but there's a few reasons why the change is good. They also dive into why a return to V8 powertrains in 2030 or 2031 may hit Cadillac's Formula 1 team hard and how Susie Wolff’s Charlotte Tilbury deal helped transform F1 Academy’s commercial appeal and open the door to a wider wave of major non-traditional motorsport sponsors. If you want F1 analysis with context, debate, and the biggest storylines from the paddock, this episode has you covered. #FromThePaddock #F1 #Formula1 #F1News #F1Academy #F12026 #MiamiGP #Motorsport #MiamiGrandPrix #RaceWeek #F1YouTube #maxverstappen #redbullf1 #mclarenf1 #nfl 00:00 Intro 00:49 Why Are F1 Cars Slower This Season? 08:31 The V8 Return and the Cadillac Problem 17:43 The Partnership That Kicked Off F1 Academy Sponsor Boost Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2JjpnIb - - - - - - - - - - - - - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Newsweek Twitter: https://twitter.com/Newsweek Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com
