As well as 2024, some teams are beginning to have an eye on the major rules reset for 2026.
According to reports, Ferrari has taken a significant step by starting up its 2026 Formula 1 power unit, being one of the power unit suppliers working on designing new engines for the upcoming overhaul in 2026. The new rules will see the removal of the MGU-H and a focus on electrical power and increased use of biofuels, as the goal is for F1 to become net zero by 2030. Other potential power unit suppliers for 2026 include Mercedes, Red Bull, Audi, Honda, Renault, and Ford. General Motors has also shown interest in building its own power unit for 2028. In addition, Ferrari plans to unveil their latest F1 car for the 2024 season on February 13th, just before the start of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
