McLaren réclame des changements matériels sur les groupes propulseurs de F1 d'ici 2028

Le directeur de l'écurie McLaren, Andrea Stella, a appelé à des ajustements du règlement technique des groupes propulseurs de Formule 1 afin d'améliorer la discipline, bien qu'il estime que des changements matériels significatifs soient peu probables avant 2028. Les récents ajustements apportés aux règles de 2026 ont permis des gains modestes lors du Grand Prix de Miami. Des acteurs tels que Mercedes et Alpine se sont exprimés sur la nécessité de délais de mise en œuvre et sur d'éventuelles modifications.

Andrea Stella a déclaré que des ajustements matériels sont nécessaires pour améliorer le sport dans son ensemble. Il a souligné l'augmentation du débit de carburant pour accroître la puissance du moteur à combustion interne et l'utilisation de batteries plus grandes pour permettre une meilleure récupération d'énergie électrique, ce qui pourrait faire passer la puissance de 350 kW à 400 kW ou 450 kW. Stella a reconnu que ces changements seraient difficiles à mettre en œuvre pour 2027 en raison des longs délais de fabrication pour les motoristes, et a appelé à un accord avant la trêve estivale afin de permettre l'application de ces modifications dès 2028.

Formula 1 will adjust its power unit balance for the 2027 season by increasing combustion engine output and reducing electric deployment, the FIA said. The move follows ongoing concerns over the 2026 regulations and the immediate tweaks introduced at the Miami Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton has described the new 2026 Formula 1 rules as 'ridiculously complex,' stating that fans will struggle to understand the energy management systems. Speaking after the first morning of pre-season testing in Bahrain, the Ferrari driver highlighted challenges with the engines' 50-50 power split between combustion and electrical components. He noted that while the cars are more fun to drive, techniques like extended lift and coast undermine racing's essence.

The FIA, Formula 1, teams and power unit manufacturers unanimously agreed on adjustments to the 2026 regulations following a meeting on Monday. The changes focus on energy management to make qualifying more competitive and enhance safety. Most updates will take effect from the Miami Grand Prix onward.

Formula 1 has introduced changes to its 2026 power unit regulations in response to 'yo-yo racing,' a back-and-forth style of battling driven by battery energy management. The tweaks, effective for this weekend's Miami Grand Prix, reduce qualifying energy harvesting and increase super clipping power. Drivers remain divided on whether the new rules improve racing.

The FIA is considering potential tweaks to the 2026 Formula 1 regulations following mixed feedback from drivers during pre-season testing. While some drivers like Lando Norris and George Russell have praised the new cars, others including Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton have raised concerns about energy management and racing purity. FIA single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis stated that 90% of the work is satisfactory but emphasized openness to changes based on early race data.
