There is now an impending deadline for the final approval of the 2027 Formula 1 power unit regulations. The FIA and Liberty Media are exerting strong pressure on the current engine manufacturers to find a compromise capable of satisfying all parties involved, with a target of agreeing a deal over the Spanish Grand Prix on 12-14 June.
The FIA is hoping to tweak the engine rules for 2027, moving away from the near-50:50 split between electric and combustion power that they feature this year. However, the federation did not positively view a sudden change of position by Ferrari and Audi.
