One unnamed โ€˜insiderโ€™ is quoted saying: โ€œThe manufacturers who are putting the most pressure on [to drop the new rules] are those who already know that they are behind schedule with their 2026 engine.โ€

It is said that Ferrari and Red Bull are thought to be among those in favour of a V10 return.

However, a decision to delay the 2026 rules would likely leave Red Bull in trouble as the team have no engine in place to compete under the current regulations.

Red Bullโ€™s newly established engine division, Red Bull Powertrains, has been working on a 2026 power unit in conjunction with US giants Ford ahead of Hondaโ€™s switch to Aston Martin from next season.

Audi F1 would be faced with the same predicament with the German manufacturer working solely on an engine for the 2026 rules.

this is another consecuence of (lack) of environmental care of new USA administration

I take it as a fact automotive industry see this as a new oportunity to keep profiting from an old technology. Not a political commentary, just stating the facts, and FIA president lobbying for their root family interests in the matter. The wind of change.

It is thought highly unlikely that these parties would vote to abandon the upcoming regulation changes, having committed vast resource to the new rules over recent years.

This is the main part in my opinion. It's insanely late in the day to be considering changing next season's rules, the ones that everyone has already been preparing for for years!

This implies that Ferrari and Red bull are behind schedule on their 2026 engine.

Redbull I can understand, its their first engine, but wtf has Ferrari been doing

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It says the opposite โ€” they do have an engine that will be ready for 2026, unless they change the rules for 2026. They would want the 2026 changes to go ahead as planned for a couple years before then moving to V10.

... Red Bull that is; Ferrari might be the ones pushing the idea of dropping the 2026 change. If so maybe they just think they have an advantage with the current rules and don't want to risk giving it up.

It's Ferrari. They never do anything right.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It's 2014 all over again.

Bring the chaos!

Of course this only comes up after theyโ€™re able to officially work on the 2026 car and after the official announcement that Cadillac will join. Itโ€™s definitely posturing at this point just trying to find a competitive advantage among the smoke. I find it hard to believe that redbull or Ferrari would both be completely unprepared for the 26 regulations.

I guess we will see but I highly doubt the engine rules will change given cost caps, new team joining and existing work already going into next years cars. Maybe Iโ€™m being naive having only followed the sport for 9 years now but seems unlikely in my opinion

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I feel the same, they probably want something else (that would limit the other teams) and are making this suggestion in order to get the FIA to agree to alterations.

Good old โ€œRequest the world and settle for what you actually wanted in the first placeโ€ strategy
