F1 cars tend to be the most efficient vehicles on the planet. However, it doesn’t stop manufacturers from pushing the boundary of what they can achieve. Hence, by 2026 they would aim to reduce the fuel consumption that they have during a Grand Prix weekend.
As it stands in today’s regulations, teams are allowed to complete a Grand Prix with 110kg. However, F1 thinks they go further and have set a target to reach 80 kgs of fuel consumption during a Grand Prix; a drop from 110 kg from today’s regulations.
