F1 considered a return to 'fan car' aerodynamics for 2026 - but will opt for something more 'conventional' instead. Here's a look at why F1 mulled over the prospect of fan cars ⬇️
Firstly, it showed that F1’s Liberty Media era is not afraid to think outside the box, and has ruled nothing out, when it comes to ensuring that grand prix cars are as raceable as they possibly can be.
Looking at the work done on potential changes, Symonds said: “When we studied the ’26 project, we did have another clean sheet of paper, and we investigated all sorts of things. The 79 owed much of its success to its predecessor, given the growing pains that had to be overcome for the team to extract performance from the ground-effect venturi tunnels and make use of sliding skirts.The trials and tribulations of the 78 were actually a good thing for Lotus, as its competitors hadn’t reckoned on them being able to find the level of performance it did with the 79. This resulted in everyone else being late adopters and needing to catch up.
In the 40 or so years that have passed since these concepts were last used in the sport, the technology and safety of F1 has improved significantly so there could be grounds for a return. In 2009 an Overtaking Working Group was tasked with finding ways to reduce the issue, but lacked the time and resources that FOM had at its disposal this time around.
