Vowles and Leclerc disagree over one key element of the 2026 regulations

Formula 1's new cars will be 30kg lighter with a minimum weight of 768kg. The wheelbase will be reduced by 200mm to 3400mm, and the width by 100mm to 1900mm.

This should allow for the 22 drivers to have much more agile cars over the season while DRS is being replaced by active aerodynamics.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc will be aiming for his first world championship if the car is quick enough but has some reservations about the new rules.

The Monegasque said ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix to GPBlog and others: "Let's say it's not the most enjoyable race car I've driven so far, but we are still in a moment where the project is relatively new."

Williams are enjoying a very impressive season so far and sit in fifth place in the Constructors' Championship.

The British team have been consistently in and around the top 10 this year and Carlos Sainz took 10th place last time out in Canada.

Williams boss Vowles is committed to the team and has done a very good job improving the British outfit.

Vowles is looking forward to next years cars and hopes porpoising will be left in the past with the regulations overhaul.

He told GPBlog and others ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix: "There was a driving style change that you need to do. It's like anything. We have to change driving style to adapt to these cars," Vowles explained. "No one really wants to be kangarooing along the ground and yet, actually, I think the formula now is quite a good racing series, for what it's worth.

The new rules may provide a shuffle among the 11 teams as Cadillac joins the grid ahead of Formula 1's new era.

It will be vital to hit the ground running and understand the new cars as teams continue to shift their focus to next year, with 2025 in mind.
