Az F1 2025-től az üzemanyagokra helyezi a hangsúlyt, belsőégésű motorok lesznek. Vagyis, lesz F1, lesznek belsőégésű motorok az F1-ben 2026-ban. A FIA véglegesítette a 2026-os motorszabályokat, amik így néznek ki:
- Maintaining the spectacle – the 2026 Power Unit will have similar performance to the current designs, utilising high-power, high-revving V6 internal combustion engines and avoiding excessive performance differentiation to allow for improved raceability.
- Environmental sustainability – the 2026 Power Unit will include an increase in the deployment of electrical power to up to 50% and utilise a 100% sustainable fuel.
- Financial Sustainability – Financial Regulations regarding the Power Units will reduce the overall costs for competitors whilst retaining the cutting-edge technological showcase that is at the core of Formula 1.
- Attractive to new Power Unit Manufacturers – the regulations are intended to make it possible and attractive for newcomers to join the sport at a competitive level.
Az Audi pedig motorszállítóként lép be 2026-ban, a fentiek ismeretében.
