In a shocking event of events, Christian Horner, director of the Red Bull Racing team, launched a bomb concerning a recent FIA proposal in the field of Formula 1. The FIA, led by President Mohammed Ben SULAYEM, presented a revolutionary proposal to modify the regulations on batteries in anticipation of major rules planned for 2026.
While the Formula 1 season is fast approaching, the landscape of sport is about to undergo a tectonic change. With an emphasis on improving the power of batteries in the construction of F1 cars, the scene is ready for a revolution in the world of motorsport.
In the midst of intense discussions concerning the future of F1 engines, an extraordinary meeting summoned to Bahrain saw a proposal led by Ben Sulayem aimed at reintroducing V10 engines. However, this daring idea was quickly rejected by manufacturers, firmly attached to the established regulations. Not discouraged, the proposal resurfaced during discussions within the F1 commission, Horner illuminating the details of the daring suggestion of the FIA.
Horner revealed that the FIA proposal revolves around the maintenance of current technical specifications while reducing the energy of the batteries during the races. This adjustment aims to introduce a dynamic of “push to pass”, injecting a new level of excitement and strategy in the races. Although the proposal does not change the maximum power of engines, it strategically changes the deployment of energy to improve the overall race experience.
The last -minute reflection of the FIA to modify the regulations on the engines sent shock waves through the key players in the industry, including Audi, General Motors and Ford. These manufacturers had joined the F1 counting on the promise of reduced motor costs. The removal of the engine generator unit-heat (MGU-H) was perceived as a determining factor to attract new manufacturers of engines to reach the ranks alongside Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes on the F1 grid.
With the landscape of Formula 1 ready for a paradigm shift, the implications of the FIA proposal are considerable. While the teams are preparing for a season of uncertainty and evolution, the prospect of revised regulations adds a new layer of intrigue in the fiercely competitive world of motorsport.
