Andy Cowell (56 years old), the head of Aston Martin in Formula 1, believes that the introduction of new technical rules will bring surprises and could lead to a redistribution of forces in the World Championship.
The changes prepared for 2026 are the most significant in the history of this sport. Next year we will attend the simultaneous introduction of new engines and new chassis and aerodynamic rules for the first time.
Cowell believes that these major changes create the premises of a restructuring of the hierarchy in Formula 1. It also spoke about how other teams develop different technologies that can be applied on the road.

“I think 2026 is an interesting year for all. We will have new sustainable fuels, a stronger electric propulsion (350 kW), a new engine, different tires, a different aerodynamics.
There are many interesting elements. The hierarchy will change and there will be surprises – both positive and negative. But that's exactly what the sport is captivating.
If we kept the same rules, the differences would diminish and everyone would run behind each other, but it is good to have new technologies and new players like Audi.
I visited Honda a few weeks ago and saw the efforts I make for battery development, I see it as a applicable technology and on the road.
I think the other producers are of the same opinion. Therefore, it is beneficial that these rules attract new producers, and we develop new technologies to manage these cars. I think it's a captivating adventure. We have what to see, we have what he is talking about and what he writes, “said Cowell, according to Sportal.bg.
Aston Martin ranks 7th in the team ranking. The band owned by Lance Stroll has accumulated 10 points, all through Lance Strol, the son of the investor.
