The FIA, Formula 1 and its teams have discussed mechanisms in the engine rules of 2026, allowing the followers to catch, while checking the solution to avoid repeating the incidence of Japanese Grand Prix Grass Fire.
The 2026 engine rules were an important point on the agenda In the latest meeting of the F1 Commission in Geneva on Thursday, the next season is presented in the next season amid concerns over the new rules flying the grid. There is widespread desire to avoid 2014 repetition Mercedes Stole a march on the rest of the region and for some manufacturers, it took years to catch the 2015 penetrating Honda, such as Honda.
Conversely, next year’s engine program will be subject to a budget cap, which will make it even more difficult for those who are left behind to catch, which is why various catch-up mechanisms were discussed in the meeting.
Autosport understands that the teams came for a basic understanding to allow the manufacturers that follow additional dyenos hours as well as the additional engine budget cap headroom to use. Only the power unit and the performance of the team will be used to determine whether a manufacturer is behind.
In addition, the agenda proposed to significantly reduce the electrical ingredients of next year’s electrical units to avoid the scenarios where the cars had to slow down dramatically as their battery used to run out of the charge.
The recurrence of Rai’s re -introduction on Saudi Arabia Grand Prix weekend, calling the proposal “joke” with the Mercedes F1’s head Toto Wolf, was working on in -house power units with the help of Christian Hornar – whose Red Bull Team Ford with the help of the Red Bull Team Ford – was a major proposer. A middle ground will only have to adjust the energy system in the race trim on the circuit dominating long strips such as Monza.
It is understood that there is still some distance between different teams on what an acceptable agreement will look like. Changes related to any engine will be seen in more detail by the Power Unit Advisory Committee.
In a statement, the FIA ​​said: “The F1 Commission discussed the principle refinement for the energy management strategy for 2026, as well as measures to address financial issues can also be encountered by the power unit manufacturers who experience low performance or significant credibility issues in 2026.”
The F1 Commission also discussed the possible solutions to the Japanese Grand Pre weekends derailed, in which practice and qualifying were several times stopped due to a spark from cars that ignite grass in the Rujuka circuit.

The FIA ​​said “it had agreed to examine both an alternative skid material (steel) and possible treatment on some circuits.” Switching on stainless steel on the circuit from the titanium, in which the grass run-off-off can have some implications about the weight of cars and the wear of skid plates, which are still to be discussed.
Other bits of housekeeping include the required amendments to implement mandatory two-stop strategies in the Monaco Grand Prix as well as an essential Twiks for capital expenditure allowance for new entry, further further than Cadilac.
