F1 Details Reduced Electric Power Unit Changes for 2027 and 2028
- On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the FIA announced an agreement to adjust Formula 1 engine power, shifting from the current 53%-47% split to favor the engine more heavily in 2027.
- Drivers like Max Verstappen had considered leaving Formula 1 due to 2026 cars forcing competitors to lift off power on straights to recharge batteries, prompting the FIA to address these concerns.
- Audi voiced particular concerns over the cost of mid-cycle modifications while discussions continued throughout the season to address qualifying issues and maintain racing quality.
- The engine power increase for 2027 will be smaller than originally planned at 20 kilowatts, rising to 50 kilowatts in 2028, while fuel flow allowance increases up to 13%.
- Formal approval for these changes is set for later this month, announced ahead of this week's Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, as FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem pursues longer-term plans for traditional V8 engines.
