Formula 1 (Technical) (FIA)
Verdict
10 constructor teams × 2 cars = 20 drivers on the 2026 grid; Each car: 1 driver, plus reserve driver entitlement per team; FIA officials enforce Technical Regulations: Technical Delegate, scrutineers, technical commissioners
Why people argue about this
People often assume that having a maximum of two drivers means teams can only use one car for races, which is incorrect. The real meaning here is that each team must have at least one driver in their grid, and they're allowed to designate up to two as the ones who start the race. Confusion arises because it's easy to misinterpret this as a limit on the number of cars per team rather than drivers.
