FIA Announces New F1 Rule Changes

The FIA has made a big announcement about changes in F1.

The FIA said in a statement that they have agreed on changes to the F1 rules for 2027 and 2028. The biggest change is about the mix of combustion and electric power in the engine, which will change from 53/47 to 60/40 in two years.

The FIA statement said: 'We, the teams, and the power unit makers have agreed on a package of changes to the F1 rules for 2027 and 2028. We had talks since the start of the 2026 season because of concerns about energy management.

The changes aim to fix issues with energy management and make qualifying more exciting without affecting the good racing.

The package will change the mix of combustion and electric power over the 2027 and 2028 seasons. It includes changes to the engine output, fuel flow, and energy recovery system, and gives more freedom in energy management.

There was hope that the changes would start in 2027, but some power unit makers did not agree. So, a compromise was reached to introduce the changes gradually.

As a result, the cars will rely less on the battery, which should fix issues like derating at the end of long straights.

Max Verstappen has been one of the loudest critics.

Big moments, packed grandstands, and a heating-up championship battle.

When F1 is this exciting, watching at home is not the same as being there.
