Carlos Sainz is urging the FIA to step in regarding the potential changes to the 2027 Formula 1 power unit regulations.
Current debates are ongoing between F1 teams and power unit manufacturers regarding these regulations.
The divisive 2026 power units have led to differing closing speeds and de-acceleration impacting the racing.
Proposed changes for 2027 would increase reliance on internal combustion, shifting to a 60:40 split.
Despite pushback from some manufacturers like Audi and Ferrari, Sainz, as head of the GPDA, supports the FIA enforcing these changes for the good of the sport.
Sainz believes there is potential to improve the power units for 2027 and is hopeful for positive changes in the upcoming season.
Amidst the political landscape of F1, a swift decision on the regulations is necessary to allow manufacturers time to prepare for the new engines.
