Changes to F1’s 2026 power units have been agreed, with details set to be announced soon
The FIA has announced power unit regulation changes for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, which were unanimously agreed upon by key Formula 1 stakeholders.
Discussions have been ongoing in April between the FIA and F1 stakeholders to address negative feedback regarding the 2026 regulations.
The focus of these talks has been on adjusting energy rules to manage ‘superclipping’ better and allow for more aggressive driving, as well as enhancing safety measures.
FIA president Mohammed ben Sulayem confirmed the changes in the power unit regulations after a meeting with key F1 stakeholders, which resulted in full details being disclosed.
The FIA highlighted that there was unanimous agreement during the virtual meeting, and the changes will now be subject to e-vote by the World Motor Sport Council.
These modifications aim to improve race performance by adjusting energy management parameters, increasing peak superclip power, and allowing for different energy limits based on the circuit characteristics at certain events.
