The FIA and Liberty Media are pressing engine manufacturers for a quick agreement on 2027 Formula 1 power unit rules ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.
The FIA and Liberty Media are applying pressure on current engine makers to reach a compromise on the 2027 regulations. They aim to settle the matter during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend of 12-14 June. A meeting before the Canadian Grand Prix had appeared to bring manufacturers toward consensus on changes. The FIA proposed a 14 percent fuel flow increase that would add 50 kW to combustion power while cutting electric output by 50 kW. Ferrari and Audi later raised concerns about reliability, costs, and development work. An alternative plan now under discussion combines a 5 percent fuel flow increase with a 40-to-50-point cut in aerodynamic load already approved by the Formula 1 Commission. The FIA and Liberty Media hope to finalize a shared position by the end of the current weekend so the package can be submitted for approval in Spain.
