Looking ahead to the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Goss explained how teams would be facing a major challenge on a circuit known for low-downforce and heavy braking with the new straight line active aerodynamic modes.
"The long straights of the circuit have traditionally led to teams choosing a lower downforce rear wing setting to shed drag and shift the priority towards maximising speed in a straight line," said Goss.
"However, with the 2026 regulations, the use of the Straight Mode active aerodynamic settings will drop the drag level significantly, and as a result we retain the standard rear wing level.
"This to some extent simplifies the engineering task and removes any difficult decisions on wing level, but with the complexities of matching chassis and power unit settings with different circuit characteristics, there is still much to do.
