Max Verstappen says there's 'no need to panic' over the state of Red Bull's power unit preparation for the 2026 Formula 1 season.
In 2026, F1 switches to revised power unit regulations which do away with the expensive and complicated MGU-H system and instead put a bigger emphasis on electric power provided by the MGU-K. F1 will also adopt sustainable fuels for the turbocharged V6 engine, which will remain in place as part of a projected 50/50 split between electric and internal combustion power.

'We know that it is a very big task, we don't take that lightly. And of course, with so many well-established engine manufacturers, we also don't think it's going to be easy to beat them,' he added.
