Audi isn’t against ditching a key pillar of F1’s 2026 rules that drew it to the championship in the first place
Audi is not obliged to maintain the 50/50 split between electrical power and internal combustion in Formula 1 according to their stance ahead of the crucial rules meeting on Monday. The meeting will involve F1 manufacturers, teams, series chiefs, and the FIA to address issues with the 2026 regulations. Various ideas are being considered, such as increasing super clipping power, adjusting recharge limits per lap, and modifying active aero rules. Safety concerns, enhancing the qualifying excitement, and competitive impacts are key priorities. Audi may not insist on the 50/50 power split, as their entry into F1 was based on broader aspects of the new regulations, as stated by their F1 project leader.
