F1 2026 is different in Monaco – but it doesn't mean drivers are happy
Leading Formula 1 drivers including Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso have warned that Monaco's atypical 2026 spectacle hasn't transformed the divisive driving challenge of these cars into all-out positivity – and has only taped over the cracks in the ongoing engine debate.
Changes are already being considered and debated over the current F1 power units after a rocky start to the new era in 2026 as the new recharge modes have proved divisive and unpopular.
In Monaco, however, recharge isn't as much of a factor given the amount of hard braking zones that essentially keep the battery topped up.
Drivers remarked that they spent less time worrying about recharging and more time setting quick laps for the first time this season.

Fernando Alonso Is Angry: 2026 F1 Cars Are the ‘Worst Ever’ and ‘Should Not Be Racing’

“This is probably the worst generation of cars I ever drove in Monaco,” said Alonso, per Motorsport.com.
Alonso is mostly sounding off about how energy is recuperated to charge the hybrid system’s battery, which has caused a lot of controversy because it forces drivers to lift through corners rather than stay flat or push as hard as possible. This situation came to a head during the Japanese Grand Prix, where most corners around Suzuka are usually taken at high speed, but this year drivers had to accommodate to harvest energy.
