FIA ajusta regras da F1 para 2026 para ajudar a Honda em dificuldades

O órgão regulador da Fórmula 1 ajustou seu sistema de Oportunidades Adicionais de Desenvolvimento e Atualização para oferecer assistência extra aos fabricantes de unidades de potência que estão ficando para trás. Espera-se que as mudanças beneficiem a Honda, que fornecerá motores para a Aston Martin e atualmente lida com um motor pouco competitivo e problemas de confiabilidade. As atualizações incluem subsídios ampliados no teto de gastos e mais tempo de desenvolvimento.

A FIA introduziu o mecanismo ADUO para as novas unidades de potência de 2026 a fim de evitar lacunas de competitividade prolongadas entre os fabricantes de motores. Sob a escala móvel revisada, os fabricantes que estiverem mais de 8 por cento atrás da referência em potência do motor de combustão interna agora se qualificam para subsídios adicionais quando atingirem um déficit de 10 por cento. Isso inclui uma isenção extra de US$ 8 milhões no teto de gastos disponível apenas este ano, além de um aumento nas horas de dinamômetro para trabalhos de desenvolvimento fora da janela padrão de homologação.
