Alonso Critiques F1's Hybrid Era: A Lost Decade of Pure Racing?

Fernando Alonso has reiterated his concerns about the 2026 Formula 1 regulations, arguing that a heavy reliance on energy recovery diminishes pure racing.

Since pre-season testing in Bahrain, Fernando Alonso has openly criticized the direction of Formula 1's 2026 regulations. The veteran driver argues that cars heavily dependent on energy recovery systems reduce the risk through corners, stripping away the crucial area where driver skill is supposed to make the difference.

Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Alonso reiterated his stance, questioning whether the sport's hybrid switch has cost F1 a "decade of pure racing" or if he is simply feeling nostalgic for the past. argolida.life
