La FIA ajusta las reglas de la F1 de 2026 para ayudar a Honda ante sus dificultades

El organismo rector de la Fórmula 1 ha ajustado su sistema de Oportunidades Adicionales de Desarrollo y Actualización (ADUO) para proporcionar asistencia extra a los fabricantes de unidades de potencia que se encuentran rezagados. Se espera que los cambios beneficien a Honda, que suministrará motores a Aston Martin y que actualmente lidia con un motor poco competitivo y problemas de fiabilidad. Las actualizaciones incluyen una mayor flexibilidad en el límite de costes y más tiempo de desarrollo.

La FIA introdujo el mecanismo ADUO para las nuevas unidades de potencia de 2026 con el fin de evitar brechas prolongadas de competitividad entre los fabricantes de motores. Bajo la escala móvil revisada, los fabricantes que se encuentren más de un 8 por ciento por debajo de la referencia en cuanto a potencia del motor de combustión interna, ahora podrán acceder a concesiones adicionales al alcanzar un déficit del 10 por ciento. Esto incluye una exención del límite de costes de 8 millones de dólares disponible solo este año, además de un aumento en las horas de banco de pruebas para trabajos de desarrollo fuera de la ventana de homologación estándar.
