Lewis Hamilton says 2026 F1 cars will change Silverstone's fastest sections.

Hamilton said Silverstone's long straights and few braking zones will make power deployment unusually difficult for the new cars. He expects batteries to run low through key high-speed areas, leaving the MGU-K switched off for a large part of the lap.

Fernando Alonso also expects a very different lap, with Becketts effectively becoming a place to recover energy. The recharge allowance is 6.5MJ for qualifying and 8MJ for the Sprint and Grand Prix.
