The FIA has announced revisions to the Formula 1 power unit regulations for the 2027 season, focusing on a change in the balance between combustion and electric power.
During the Miami GP last weekend, adjustments were made to the technical regulations, enhancing energy harvesting and changing the ‘super-clipping’ limit to 350kW.
While drivers acknowledged the progress made, they believe further improvements are necessary for better racing quality.
Ongoing evaluation of the recent changes will occur, with additional adjustments set to be discussed before the Canadian Grand Prix.
The proposed adjustments for 2027 include increasing ICE power and fuel flow, along with decreasing ERS deployment power.
With plans to return to V8 engines by 2031, the shift in approach signals a potential step towards addressing concerns raised by critics of the current regulations.
