Doubt that will be final on the front.

They would need something that can be quickly installed while replacing a damaged front wing. Hydraulic and pneumatic lines will be a pain. Eclectic or electro hydraulic more likely.
If I remember correctly, The Race said that they can be either hydraulic or electric. The teams can choose.
yes, I think it can be anything, the rules don't prescribe something as far as I could figure out : ). edit: rear has to be hydraulic? so front too? does someone understand?

Is the 2026 F1 wing actuators electric?
I've seen they're pneumatic.
The teams have a choice, it’s not mandated how they do it.

I am expecting them to be hydraulic with a dry break connector incorporated into the nose mountings.
