The FIA has closed off a potential backdoor route for Formula 1 manufacturers to get hold of rivals’ 2026 engine IP through the use of fuel suppliers.
F1’s car makers are currently working on the design of the new turbo-hybrid power units that will come into play from 2026. While the basic formula of the 1.6-litre turbo-hybrid ICE will remain the same, the power balance between combustion and electrical energy will shift. F1 is doing away with the MGU-H, and is aiming for a straight 50/50 power split between batteries and the ICE.
In addition, there are also restrictions on personnel from fuel suppliers being able to take IP with them if they switch allegiances.
