Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali checks out the new electric karts at the recently-opened Grand Prix Plaza at the home of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
As F1 reconsiders its plans for its future power units, Domenicali has recently said he misses the rows over aspects of the technical regulations which were more common when he was a team principal.

There were concerns that the new tighter track limits would lead to even more processional races

Definitely update these to V10s first – give the young ones more experience.

Gee the 2026 F1 cars are smaller and quieter than I thought they’d be.

If we race these, plus two mandatory pit stops, Monaco will be interesting.

Stefano: this setup could be a good way for F1 to create the illusion of more night races for Drive to Survive.

It’s the future of racing – the track is exactly one car wide, so teams can execute their strategies to perfection without interference from other competitors.

Stefano was pleased to see that the organisers had nailed the look and feel of modern F1 – teenagers driving mostly identical and mostly unpainted cars nose to tail around an artificial circuit without a scrap of gravel in sight. They even remembered the painted lines for track limits!

The competition was on. The conventionally charged Red cars, vs the wirelessly charged Blue cars feeding off the sheer power emanating from Domenicali.

Although the new all electric power units will produce even less noise than the current hybrid power units, this will be more than compensated by the screaming from the racefans.net comment section.
