McLaren chiede modifiche all'hardware delle power unit di F1 entro il 2028

Il team principal della McLaren, Andrea Stella, ha chiesto modifiche ai regolamenti sulle power unit di Formula 1 per migliorare la serie, sebbene ritenga improbabili cambiamenti hardware significativi prima del 2028. I recenti perfezionamenti alle regole del 2026 hanno portato modesti miglioramenti in occasione del Gran Premio di Miami. Stakeholder tra cui Mercedes e Alpine si sono espressi sulla necessità di tempi di sviluppo e potenziali aggiustamenti.

Andrea Stella ha affermato che sono necessari interventi sull'hardware per migliorare lo sport nel suo complesso. Ha indicato la necessità di un aumento del flusso di carburante per incrementare la potenza del motore a combustione interna e batterie più grandi per consentire un maggiore recupero di energia elettrica, aumentando potenzialmente la potenza da 350kW a 400kW o 450kW. Stella ha riconosciuto che tali cambiamenti sarebbero difficili da implementare per il 2027 a causa dei lunghi tempi di produzione richiesti ai costruttori e ha sollecitato un accordo prima della pausa estiva per consentire le modifiche entro il 2028.

Formula 1 team principals and officials gathered for a commission meeting last Wednesday to tackle key issues with the upcoming 2026 regulations, particularly the new power units. McLaren's Andrea Stella highlighted four major worries, including race starts, energy harvesting, overtaking challenges, and the use of straight mode. While some concerns have seen progress through testing, others remain unresolved ahead of the season opener.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has revealed that Formula 1 teams and the FIA are in talks about potential hardware tweaks to the 2026 power units. These could include larger battery capacity or increased fuel flow to improve driving dynamics. Recent regulation adjustments ahead of the Miami Grand Prix aim to address some issues, but more substantial changes may take time.

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.
