Mercedes gamed the F1 rules and it's unravelling

Toto Wolff's grand master plan for 2026 could be about to unravel.

Upon reflection, Mercedes' plan to dominate Formula 1 in the long term was conceived back in 2019 with their entry into Formula E...where none of their current rivals back then were competing. From there, a series of actions set in motion their political moves to frame the F1 2026 regulations toward the current model. However, their domination has not been as clean as expected. Ferrari and McLaren have shown flashes of competitiveness...and now the FIA is ready to make their move...albeit after Oliver Bearman's crash.

The 2026 regs are already on trial - for real

Could these changes bring things back toward the competition alongside other adjustements to the 2026 ruleset?
