formula 1 is at an important turning point. He must first decide when they will be frozen development current engines, as well as which engines will be used from 2026 (or as early as 2025) onwards. The new head of Formula 1 Stefano domenicali is at least positive in this regard.
In conjunction with current engines, for example Helmut Marko last week announced that Red Bull s Hondo reached an agreement on further use their own engines. But for this purpose they need the help of dignitaries Formula 1 and also teams. For v Milton Keynes they have neither the knowledge nor the resources to be able to further develop engines. Therefore, only one question is important to them: Can they The FIA freezes engine development. Red Bull he wants this to be introduced in a year 2022, while other manufacturers support the proposal of the year 2023. The decision on this is supposed to fell today or in the coming days.
The new 2026 engine (2025) may attract new manufacturers
However, this is by no means the only point discussions for Formula 1as it will be necessary new engine for 2026 - or 2025, as has been frequently mentioned recently and which he also insists on Ferrari - just to present. That's when current policy engines stop and lead Formula 1 (FOM - Formula One Management) could decide to move away from the current ones hybrid powertrains, whose complexity literally drives away potential new producers.
The new head of Formula 1 Stefano domenicali is in conversation for the British Sky Sports issued good news regarding this development. “In the past, a mistake was made because technology was paramount to the new engine (hybrid powertrain in 2014, op.p.), making the Formula 1 engine cost so much. This engine is more efficient than ever, but a Formula 1 engine cannot and should not be as expensive. Together with various manufacturers, we are now looking for solutions to what is possible for the future,” he says Italian.
Sundays he adds: "In addition to the existing ones, we are also talking to other manufacturers. They are silent for now, but I can say that many companies and organizations are interested in Formula 1. Not just in technological terms, as Formula 1 is becoming increasingly valuable for brands. The car industry also needs to study and see how the younger generations perceive them as a brand and can use Formula 1 for this purpose."
