Hadjar notes ranking concerns for 2026 F1 track regulations

Isack Hadjar expressed disappointment over the new 2026 F1 regulations that rank tracks based on energy recovery. After the recent Hungarian Grand Prix, he described it as a return to classic racing, contrasting it with tracks like Spa-Francorchamps, which he lamented are less favorable under the new rules. The regulations, which incorporate a near 50/50 mix of internal combustion and electric power, have reportedly raised concerns among drivers regarding the impact on racing dynamics. As F1 prepares to resume with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Hadjar remains hopeful for a more traditional racing experience, although he cautions that tracks like Monza may pose challenges for drivers due to their energy limitations.
