La FIA modifica i regolamenti F1 2026 per aiutare Honda in difficoltà

L'organo di governo della Formula 1 ha modificato il sistema di Opportunità di Sviluppo e Aggiornamento Aggiuntive per fornire ulteriore assistenza ai produttori di power unit che si trovano in ritardo. Si prevede che le modifiche andranno a beneficio di Honda, che fornirà Aston Martin e che attualmente sta affrontando problemi di competitività e affidabilità del motore. Gli aggiornamenti includono maggiori franchigie sul budget cap e più tempo per lo sviluppo.

La FIA ha introdotto il meccanismo ADUO per le nuove power unit del 2026 al fine di prevenire prolungati divari di competitività tra i costruttori di motori. Secondo la scala mobile rivista, i produttori che si trovano con un ritardo superiore all'8 percento rispetto al benchmark sulla potenza del motore a combustione interna avranno ora diritto a ulteriori agevolazioni una volta raggiunto un deficit del 10 percento. Ciò include un'esenzione dal budget cap di 8 milioni di dollari disponibile solo quest'anno, oltre a un aumento delle ore al banco prova per i lavori di sviluppo al di fuori della normale finestra di omologazione.
