La FIA ha ufficialmente adottato modifiche ai regolamenti dei motori di Formula 1 per il 2027 e 2028, riducendo leggermente la componente elettrica. Il rapporto combustione/elettrico passerà da 53%/47% a 58%/42% nel 2027 e 60%/40% nel 2028.
Formula 1 engine regulations will progressively shift the power balance from internal combustion to electric drive, reaching a 60/40 split by 2028. Initial changes will start in 2027, with further adjustments planned for 2028.
Max Verstappen has threatened to leave Formula 1 at the end of the season if proposed engine regulation changes for next year are blocked. He cited mental unfeasibility due to current engine limitations.
F1 has approved sweeping rule changes to address driver complaints about the new hybrid power-units that require extensive energy management. Changes include reducing permitted energy recharge from 8MJ to 7MJ, increasing super-clipping power limits, and capping boost mode at 150kw in races. The modifications, aimed at reducing counter-intuitive driving practices and dangerous speed differentials, will be introduced at the Miami Grand Prix on May 1-3 pending FIA World Council approval.
