Ferrari and Audi allegedly have concerns regarding the engine regulation changes for the 2027 F1 season.
Ferrari and Audi are reportedly expressing worries about the engine regulation modifications for the 2027 Formula 1 season. The Monaco Grand Prix weekend sees ongoing discussions on proposals for the Power Unit Advisory committee. All these proposals aim to address potential amendments to the 2027 engine rules.
The FIA had tentatively agreed to a 60/40 split in favor of the internal-combustion engine in May. The specific details of implementing this change are still uncertain. During Monaco, engine manufacturers will meet with the FIA to strategize the best way to transition to the 60/40 split.
While some teams like Mercedes and Red Bull Powertrains are open to the changes, Ferrari and Audi have reservations. Ferrari is concerned about the Additional Development and Upgrades Opportunities, while Audi prefers a slower shift to the 60/40 split.
The main focus for these critical meetings in Monaco is to clarify the path forward for the 2027 engine regulations. Teams are looking for prompt decisions, although the formal conclusion is set for June 14 at the PUAC meeting. Despite disagreements, all teams are committed to making the necessary adjustments for the upcoming season.
