On the streets of Baku, the 2026 Formula 1 cars will have to cope with the circuit’s extremely long straight, where all of the available electrical energy will be put to use. Energy deployment is therefore one of the central technical themes of the weekend, with the FIA introducing specific measures for the Baku energy-management challenge.
The effect of that deployment will also be particularly important for straight-line performance, an area that can be followed through the ScuderiaFans F1 Top Speed Comparison once track action begins.
