After a compromise was struck during the F1 Commission meeting in Bahrain, that plan appears to have already been torn up.
The dispute over F1’s new power unit rules has taken a new twist, with a reported compromise replacing the initial FIA proposal on compression ratio. A plan agreed upon during pre-season testing in Bahrain last week is now poised to be scrapped in favor of a new one. The revised proposal aims to implement compression ratio measurements under both cold and hot conditions earlier, by June 1st instead of August 1st, with a two-stage approach. This adjustment, unless backed by F1 or the FIA, is seen to provide Mercedes’ competitors an edge in the upcoming seasons. The modified regulations would limit Mercedes’ advantage by mandating hot-condition-only measurements starting from 2027, thus reducing the impact of their current innovation in the long run.
