Isack Hadjar working on overtaking drills in the RB22 during Week 2 testing in Bahrain.
With the 2026 regulations shifting to a 50% electric and 50% combustion power split, energy deployment becomes critical. Once the battery is depleted along the straight, electric assistance drops out while the system harvests — resulting in a clear reduction in acceleration.
This effect, often referred to as super clipping, will typically appear at the end of long straights or fast corner sequences, reshaping how drivers approach overtakes.
In 2026, overtaking won’t just be about slipstream — it will be about managing energy at the perfect moment.

Can we vote? This sucks. F1 is boring already with less and less overtakes no one is going to look the entire race
