DRS — DRAG REDUCTION SYSTEM

The 2026 Drag Reduction System evolves into full active aerodynamics. Drivers can now deploy both the rear wing flap and front wing adjustments in designated zones, reducing aerodynamic drag by up to 25%. This provides a straight-line speed advantage of approximately 15-20 km/h, enabling overtaking opportunities that would otherwise be impossible in the dirty air of the car ahead. Unlike the previous generation, the 2026 active aero can be used in both DRS zones and manual mode for strategic energy recovery, though it remains disabled during wet conditions or yellow flag periods.

ACTIVE AERO Z-DRAG REDUCTION: UP TO 25%

GROUND EFFECT FLOOR

Under the 2026 regulations, the ground-effect floor features re-profiled Venturi tunnels designed to reduce dirty air impact by 50%. The new floor generates downforce through low-pressure suction while being less sensitive to turbulence, allowing cars to follow closely through corners. Active aerodynamics — movable rear wing and front wing elements — are now permitted, dynamically adjusting downforce and drag to suit each section of the circuit. Floor edge profiles remain strictly regulated to prevent porpoising — a dangerous phenomenon where the car bounces at high speed due to aerodynamic stall and recovery cycles beneath the floor.

DOWNFORCE: ~3500KG AT 250KM/H (ACTIVE AERO)
