During the first pre-season test in Bahrain, Formula 1 teams and drivers raised alarms about the safety of the new 2026 cars, particularly regarding race starts and energy management. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella urged immediate changes to prevent potential accidents on the grid. The issues stem from the removal of the MGU-H, requiring longer turbo spool-up times that complicate launches.
