via Motorsport.comFernando Alonso builds his dream F1 circuit but Sergio Perez spots one major problemFernando Alonso recently created his ultimate Formula 1 circuit by selecting iconic sectors from existing tracks, including Suzuka, Spa, and Barcelona. However, Sergio Perez quickly highlighted a significant issue with this design, noting that the 2026 engine regulations would make it difficult to drive due to the new power unit requirements.
The 2026 regulations mandate a balance between internal combustion engine and battery power, which complicates the design of high-speed circuits. Perez pointed out that the combination of Suzuka and Spa's relentless speed would likely lead to battery depletion, a phenomenon known as 'clipping'. Despite the challenges, Alonso remained optimistic about his team's engine capabilities.
