McLaren pede mudanças no hardware das unidades de potência da F1 até 2028

O chefe da equipe McLaren, Andrea Stella, pediu ajustes nos regulamentos das unidades de potência da Fórmula 1 para aprimorar a categoria, embora acredite que mudanças significativas no hardware sejam improváveis antes de 2028. Refinamentos recentes nas regras de 2026 trouxeram ganhos modestos no Grande Prêmio de Miami. Partes interessadas, incluindo Mercedes e Alpine, ponderaram sobre a necessidade de tempo de preparação e possíveis ajustes.

Andrea Stella afirmou que ajustes no hardware são necessários para melhorar o esporte como um todo. Ele apontou um aumento no fluxo de combustível para impulsionar a potência do motor de combustão interna e baterias maiores para permitir uma maior recuperação de energia elétrica, elevando potencialmente a potência de 350kW para 400kW ou 450kW. Stella reconheceu que essas mudanças seriam difíceis de implementar para 2027 devido aos longos prazos de preparação para os fabricantes e pediu um acordo antes da pausa de verão para viabilizar as mudanças em 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.
