The FIA, FOM, Teams and Power Unit Manufacturers have agreed a package of changes to the Formula 1 Technical, Sporting and Financial Regulations for 2027 and 2028.

The agreement follows discussions held since the opening races of the the current season, following concerns identified in relation to energy management under the new power unit framework.

The proposed changes are intended to address issues related to energy management and fuel energy flow characteristics and make qualifying more flat-out while not impacting the positive and exciting racing generated by the new regulations.

The package introduces a staged rebalancing of Internal Combustion Engine and Energy Recovery System contribution across the 2027 and 2028 seasons. It includes targeted adjustments to internal combustion engine output, fuel energy flow and energy recovery system deployment, together with increased flexibility in energy management.

Internal Combustion Engine


Season	2026	2027	2028
Max Power	400kW	420kW	450kW
Fuel Flow Increase		5%	13%

MGUK


Season	2026	2027	2028
Max Power	350kW	300kW	300kW
Max Power Overtake Mode	350kW	350kW	350kW
Max Harvesting Power	350kW	375kW	400kW
Power Split ICE/MGUK	53/47	58/42	60/40

Supporting measures relating to power unit supply conditions, race operations and the relevant financial regulations are also included.

The 2026 Formula 1 regulations were developed and agreed in close partnership between the FIA, FOM, teams, OEMs and Power Unit Manufacturers. These latest amendments reflect the continuation of this collaboration with all stakeholders working collectively to refine the framework and address identified operational challenges.

The FIA will now expedite the formal approval process to provide all parties with early clarity and sufficient time to adapt to the revised requirements.

The proposed changes will be submitted to the World Motor Sport Council for approval on June 23 in Macau.

"Crap. I'll watch Barcelona with my Watch Group (decades younger than me). Maybe the social aspect will be enough. And maybe it will be the final nail for me.

It crushes me. I have US Grand Prix tickets for the Austin race and three out of town race fans coming this year. And Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers play in Paris the same weekend. Would prefer to watch a real sporting event in Paris. Sad."

"What a mess, how could they get it so wrong, can see the tinkering going on until this hybrid system is thrown in the skip and we can get back to a cost effective way less complicated V8. "
