A Revolution in the Making
As we edge closer to 2026, Formula 1 is preparing for one of its most significant overhauls.

Silverstone, with its demanding layout and rich history, stands as the ideal proving ground.
The 2026 F1 concept showcases radical aerodynamic philosophy
01
A New Heart: The Power Unit Revolution
The biggest shift is in the power units. The complex MGU-H is gone, simplifying the engine architecture. In its place, a 50/50 split between the internal combustion engine and electric power emerges—a huge jump from the current 20% electrical contribution.
350kW MGU-K Power
100% Sustainable Fuel
8.5MJ Energy Recovery

A Lighter, Nimbler Breed of Car
Cars are getting smaller and significantly lighter. The wheelbase drops from 3600mm to 3400mm, and width narrows to 1900mm. With a minimum weight reduction of 32kg (down to 768kg), the goal is clear: create more agile machines that are more responsive in the heat of battle.

The Strategic Game-Changer: Active Aerodynamics
Perhaps the most fascinating addition is active aerodynamics. Drivers will now control moveable front and rear wings with two modes: a high-downforce 'Z-mode' for cornering stability and a low-drag 'X-mode' for blistering speed on the straights.

Tactical Overtakes into Stowe
The new 'Manual Override Mode'—a 350kW boost for overtaking—will make the run down the Hangar Straight a thrilling chess match.
Energy Management as a Weapon
Drivers must now balance using their electrical energy for outright lap speed versus saving it for crucial attack or defence.

FAQs: How Will the 2026 F1 Regulations Change Silverstone?
From 2026, Formula 1 cars will be smaller and lighter, use a 50/50 split between electric and combustion power, feature active aerodynamics, and run on 100% sustainable fuel.
Racing at Silverstone will see:
More agile cars for faster cornering
Active aero for better grip in corners and higher speed on straights
Easier overtaking thanks to a new manual override power boost.
Active aerodynamics lets drivers adjust the front and rear wings while driving. Z-mode increases downforce for corners, while X-mode reduces drag for straights.
The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is replaced by a manual override mode. Drivers within one second of a car ahead can use extra electric power from the MGU-K to overtake.
Lap times may be similar or slightly slower due to less downforce, but overtaking and close racing are expected to improve.
Stronger roll hoops (from 16G to 20G), better side impact protection, and two-stage front impact structures for improved crash safety.
Fans will see:
More overtaking and closer racing
Sleeker, lighter cars with visible aerodynamic changes
Greater unpredictability as teams adapt to new rules.

7. Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between a shared lounge and a private suite?
A lounge is cost-effective and sociable, whereas a suite offers privacy for sensitive deals.
Do we need a theme for every corporate party?
No, but a unifying concept — be it vintage cinema or cutting-edge esports — helps guests remember the night and share photos.
What is the meaning of corporate activities in this context?
They are structured sessions that sit alongside the main show, such as mixology classes or coding hackathons, and they play an important role in widening engagement.
8. Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
Over-booking acts – too many performances will exhaust the schedule and the audiences.
Ignoring the dance floor flow – site visits ensure the band, bar and DJ support, rather than compete with, each other.
Skipping compliance checks – international companies must balance hospitality rules with cultural nuance, especially in regulated sectors.

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Trilogy (Everything You Need to Know)
Quick Summary
The highly anticipated trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled for April 18, 2026, at London's Wembley Stadium. Following two defeats to Usyk, Fury is coming out of a brief retirement for a chance at redemption. This historic bout is set to be a defining moment for the heavyweight division.
The world of heavyweight boxing is set for another seismic event: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk III, scheduled for April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium, London. This trilogy bout promises to be one of the most anticipated fights in modern boxing history, bringing closure to a rivalry that has defined the heavyweight division in the 2020s. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Backstory: Fury vs. Usyk Rivalry
First Fight (May 18, 2024, Riyadh):
Usyk defeated Fury by split decision, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. The bout was tightly contested, with both fighters having strong moments, but Usyk’s late surge and a near-stoppage in the ninth round sealed the win.
Second Fight (December 21, 2024, Riyadh):
Usyk won again, this time by unanimous decision. Fury started strong but faded as Usyk’s relentless pressure and precision took over in the later rounds. After this defeat, Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January 2025.
Retirement and U-Turn
Despite declaring he was "done with boxing," Fury has a history of comeback announcements. In July 2025, he confirmed via Instagram and other channels that he would return for a third fight with Usyk, stating, “April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!”
Why the Trilogy Matters
Redemption and Legacy:
Fury, once the undefeated “Gypsy King,” suffered his only two career losses to Usyk. A win in the trilogy could restore his legacy and prove he can adapt and overcome the Ukrainian’s style.
Usyk’s Dominance:
Usyk, already an Olympic gold medalist and former undisputed cruiserweight champion, has cemented his place in heavyweight history. A third win over Fury would make his claim as one of the greatest even stronger.
Venue Significance:
Wembley Stadium is iconic for British boxing. Fury has openly stated he wants the fight in the UK to ensure “a fair result,” expressing dissatisfaction with the judging in Saudi Arabia. The UK crowd and atmosphere could play a psychological role.

Fury’s Motivation:
Fury has stated he would only come out of retirement for Usyk, wanting to “right a wrong” and get a “fair fight in England.” He claims he watched their second fight “250 times” and believes he won by five rounds, fueling his drive for redemption.
Anthony Joshua Factor:
While Fury vs. Joshua is still a dream fight for many, Fury has made it clear Usyk is his priority. Promoter Eddie Hearn has floated the idea of Joshua fighting Fury before retiring, but for now, all eyes are on the Usyk trilogy.
What the Experts and Promoters Say
Frank Warren (Fury’s Promoter):
There is a contractual clause for a trilogy fight, but the main obstacle could be retirement or a major upset in Usyk’s upcoming bout. Warren has confirmed that if both fighters are active and willing, the trilogy is locked in.

It is currently unclear which belts will be at stake. Oleksandr Usyk holds the WBA, WBC, WBO, and Ring heavyweight titles, but he must first defend them against Daniel Dubois in July 2025. The outcome of that fight will determine the titles available for the trilogy.
The fight will be broadcast live on DAZN PPV in the UK and internationally. Coverage is expected to start from 16:30 BST, with an additional PPV charge on top of the monthly subscription fee.
Usyk and Fury have fought twice before. Usyk won both encounters: the first by split decision in May 2024, and the second by unanimous decision in December 2024. Both bouts took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and were highly competitive.
Fury retired after his second defeat to Usyk in December 2024. However, he has stated he would only return for a third fight with Usyk, particularly if it could take place in the UK, where he believes he would get a fair result.
Details of the undercard have not yet been announced, but fans can expect a packed bill with several high-profile bouts, as is typical for events of this magnitude.
While the exact purses have not been confirmed, it is expected that Fury and Usyk will earn record-breaking sums, potentially surpassing the over £200 million they shared from their previous two fights.
If Usyk loses his titles to Dubois in July 2025, the trilogy fight with Fury could go ahead without world titles on the line, but it would still be a major event due to the rivalry and their previous history.
Fury has mentioned that if the Usyk trilogy does not materialise, a fight with Anthony Joshua would be the next biggest bout possible, especially for British boxing fans.
Tyson Fury has publicly announced the trilogy on social media, but as of now, there has been no official joint statement or press conference confirming the full details.

A Foodie's Grand Tour: The 10 Best Cities for Sport & Michelin-Starred Dining
There is a common thread that unites the dedicated sports fan and the discerning foodie: a deep appreciation for craft, dedication, and those rare moments of brilliance. It’s the thrill of witnessing an athlete at the peak of their powers, and the quiet satisfaction of a dish executed with flawless precision. For those who seek both, certain cities around the world have mastered these two arts.
This isn’t just a list; it's a curated tour through destinations where the energy of the stadium is matched only by the artistry in the kitchen. At Above + Beyond, we believe the perfect journey combines passion with seamless execution. Here are ten cities that offer an unrivalled stage for both.
1
Tokyo, Japan
The Sporting Heart: The roar of the crowd at the iconic Tokyo Dome for a Giants baseball game, the unique ritual and power of a Grand Sumo Tournament, or the electric atmosphere of a J-League football match.
The Culinary Scene: As the city with the most Michelin stars on the planet, Tokyo is a culinary universe. The benchmark is set by legends like Sukiyabashi Jiro for sushi, the innovative Satoyama cuisine of Narisawa, and the kaiseki mastery of Ryugin.
The A+B Perspective: The beautiful contrast in Tokyo is between its explosive energy and its quiet perfection. A perfect day could involve the sensory overload of a sumo bout, followed by the hushed, almost reverent atmosphere of a world-class sushi counter, where a master chef performs for just a handful of guests. It’s a study in Japan’s cultural duality.
2
Paris, France
The Sporting Heart: The clay-court drama of the French Open at Roland-Garros, the partisan crowds at a Paris Saint-Germain match, and the triumphant final sprint of the Tour de France on the Champs-Élysées.
The Culinary Scene: Paris remains a global benchmark for gastronomy. From the haute cuisine of three-star institutions like Le Cinq and Guy Savoy to the timeless charm of the bistros in the Latin Quarter.
The A+B Perspective: In Paris, a five-set thriller at Roland-Garros can give way to a composed, five-course masterpiece just a few arrondissements away. We often arrange for clients to decompress after a day of tense tennis with a serene dinner cruise along the Seine, watching the city lights come up as they discuss the day's events.
3
London, UK
The Sporting Heart: London’s calendar is relentless: the prestige of Wimbledon, the tribal passion of Premier League football, the raw power of England rugby at Twickenham, and the historic London Marathon.
The Culinary Scene: The city is a vibrant mosaic of culinary talent, boasting 80 Michelin-starred restaurants. Highlights include the refined French cooking at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught and the city's only two-star pub, The Harwood Arms.
The A+B Perspective: London’s geography is part of the experience. A day spent amidst the greenery of Wimbledon can be followed by a short, chauffeured drive into the elegant streets of Mayfair for a world-class meal. It’s this effortless transition from one world-class environment to another that defines a perfect London trip.
4
Osaka, Japan
The Sporting Heart: Known as Japan's kitchen, Osaka is also wild about its sport, most notably the fanatical support for the Hanshin Tigers baseball team at the formidable Koshien Stadium.
The Culinary Scene: While it has 95 Michelin-starred restaurants, Osaka is equally famous for its vibrant street food culture of kuidaore ('eat until you drop'). Standouts include the creative French-Chinese fusion at VELROSIER and the precision of Ryō-shō.
The A+B Perspective: Osaka offers a less formal, more energetic alternative to Tokyo. The ideal itinerary here is about high-low dining: experiencing the electrifying noise of a baseball game before diving into the organised chaos of the Dōtonbori district for some of the best street food in the world.
5
New York City, USA
The Sporting Heart: The 'World's Most Famous Arena', Madison Square Garden, hosts NBA and NHL action, while the New York Yankees and the US Open in Queens provide legendary summer spectacles.
The Culinary Scene: A powerhouse of dining, NYC is home to institutions like the seafood-focused Le Bernardin, the exclusive Japanese counter at Masa, and the breathtaking views and cuisine of Per Se.
The A+B Perspective: New York is about iconic backdrops. We can arrange an itinerary that starts with courtside seats to watch the Knicks, followed by a reservation at a hard-to-book restaurant in the Meatpacking District, and finishing with a nightcap at a rooftop bar overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
6
Barcelona, Spain
The Sporting Heart: The architectural marvel of Camp Nou and the artistry of FC Barcelona, the high-octane thrill of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, and the city’s deep connection to sailing and water sports.
The Culinary Scene: A hub of Catalan creativity with 22 Michelin-starred restaurants. The city's gastronomic scene is led by the three-star temples of ABaC and Lasarte.
The A+B Perspective: The energy in Barcelona on a match day is infectious. A popular choice for our clients is to build a day around the game, starting with tapas and drinks in the Gothic Quarter before a private transfer to a VIP hospitality suite at Camp Nou.
7
Kyoto, Japan
The Sporting Heart: While it has a J-League football team, Kyoto’s sporting soul lies in its connection to tradition, particularly as a global centre for martial arts like Kendo and Aikido.
The Culinary Scene: Kyoto is the home of kaiseki, the formal, multi-course Japanese dinner. It is a city of quiet culinary legends, such as the 400-year-old Hyotei and the revered Kikunoi.
The A+B Perspective: A trip to Kyoto is a journey into Japanese tradition. A unique experience is to witness the discipline and focus of a martial arts demonstration in the morning before enjoying a meticulously prepared kaiseki dinner in a private room overlooking a tranquil garden in the evening.
8
San Francisco, USA
The Sporting Heart: The waterfront Oracle Park is home to the Giants baseball team, while across the bay, the Golden State Warriors are one of the NBA's premier dynasties.
The Culinary Scene: The Bay Area is the heart of California's farm-to-table movement, with 61 starred restaurants. Atelier Crenn, Benu, and Quince all hold three stars, showcasing the region's incredible produce.
The A+B Perspective: We often suggest clients combine the best of the region. This could mean a private tour and tasting in the nearby Napa Valley wine country during the day, followed by courtside seats to watch the Warriors in the evening.
9
Copenhagen, Denmark
The Sporting Heart: The city’s sporting life revolves around Parken Stadium, home to FC Copenhagen and the Danish national team, as well as the popular Copenhagen Marathon.
The Culinary Scene: Copenhagen has become a global pilgrimage site for food lovers, thanks to the revolutionary New Nordic cuisine pioneered by the three-star Noma and the theatrical, multi-sensory experience at the two-star Alchemist.
The A+B Perspective: A trip here is for the culinary adventurer. Securing a table at Noma or Alchemist is an event in itself. We build itineraries around that coveted reservation, adding experiences like a private sailing trip on the Øresund to complement the city's forward-thinking and stylish character.
10
Berlin, Germany
The Sporting Heart: The historic Olympiastadion hosts Bundesliga football with Hertha Berlin and major international athletics meets, while the Berlin Marathon is one of the six world majors.
The Culinary Scene: Reflecting the city's creative and avant-garde spirit, Berlin’s food scene is booming. It's home to over 20 starred restaurants, including the three-star Rutz and the innovative two-star dessert-only restaurant, CODA.
The A+B Perspective: Berlin is a city of contrasts. A powerful itinerary involves exploring the city's poignant history during the day, watching the modern spectacle of Bundesliga football in the evening, and then experiencing something truly unique, like the a la carte dessert tasting menu at CODA.
The world’s greatest cities offer a dialogue between human endeavour, whether it’s the roar of 80,000 people in a stadium or the quiet focus of a chef in their kitchen. The perfect trip combines these passions with seamless execution.
If any of these destinations have sparked an idea for your next journey, our specialists are on hand to begin crafting your personal grand tour.
