At that time we have v Formulas 1 four engine manufacturers and these are Mercedes, Ferrari, Honda in Renault. And if the sports boss is to be believed Ross Brawn, be on this at least until the year 2026 nothing will change. That's when the new engine policy comes into play, Brown however, it believes that none of the new producers will enter Formula 1.
"No one is going to invest in current engines right now,”He explained Brown for colleagues from Motorsport-Total.com. Because whoever would now start making the engine of the current policy would have to deduct a lot of money for product, who is saying goodbye in a few years. In view of the new policy from the year 2026 further, he said: “It’s not that far off anymore when we think we need to make a whole new engine. We have to start designing the engine in 18 months if we want to install it in racing cars by 2026.“But at the moment, it is not even clear what the engines of the future should look like.
But the most important thing is: “It has to be a good racing engine," so Brown. However, many factors need to be considered in this. “We know what we want to achieve,”He explained British, who admits that concrete ideas not yet defined in detail. “Together with the FIA and the manufacturers, we are looking at what the next powertrain might look like.“Clearly, it has to be a technique new engine relevant for future years. “At the moment, I have no idea what the engine is supposed to look like,”He emphasizes once again Brown. Addressed to his own personal presumption, he said: “I think at the moment it shows that we will keep similar technologies to what we have now."
"But some radical engines are emerging on the horizon. However, we believe that they are not yet established enough to be able to bet on them in 18 months,”He explained Brown. Nevertheless, the new rules are supposed to offered opportunities for new manufacturers. They had been hoping for that for the season 2021, but nothing was known of this. Furthermore Brown explains that they will play a major role in Formulas 1 played in the future sustainable fuels - regardless of what the engines will look like from 2026 onwards. They are already working with some partners on an appropriate strategy. formula 1 wants for years 2023 bet on fuel that will be one hundred percent sustainable.
