Audi busca estabilidade nos regulamentos de motores da F1 para 2027

O diretor executivo da Audi, Gernot Dollner, pediu estabilidade regulatória nas unidades de potência da Fórmula 1 antes da temporada de 2027. A empresa quer evitar grandes mudanças no hardware que exigiriam investimentos adicionais.

Dollner falou com a imprensa em Mônaco e enfatizou a necessidade de controlar os custos à medida que a Audi aumenta seu envolvimento no esporte. Ele disse que o foco deve permanecer na otimização do conceito atual de trem de força, em vez de introduzir novas regras que exijam modificações no hardware. A FIA havia anunciado um acordo em princípio sobre uma divisão de 60/40 entre a combustão interna e a potência elétrica antes do Grande Prêmio do Canadá. A Audi indicou que poderia aceitar ajustes menores, como um aumento modesto no fluxo de combustível, desde que não desencadeiem gastos significativos. Dollner observou que os recursos da Audi são melhor direcionados para melhorar a competitividade na pista. Ele acrescentou que quaisquer mudanças mais amplas precisariam de aprovação de todo o Grupo Volkswagen e poderiam atrasar o caminho de desenvolvimento da marca.
