Christian Horner indicated that the team manager was opposed to any changes to the F1 2026 regulations. The FIA ​​has warned engine manufacturers that the deadline for modifying the F1 2026 power units has already passed. The sport’s governing body has suggested that it may be too late to make engine improvements and teams should continue with the current plan, showing support from the FIA. The Red Bull team principal also supports the FIA’s decision on Formula 1 rules for 2026. He indirectly suggested that Mercedes is one of the teams resisting change. However, the final decision rests with the FIA ​​and there is still room for improvement. Horner explained that the FIA ​​has all the knowledge and data necessary to make informed decisions regarding the Formula 1 regulations for 2026. He stressed that the most important thing is to do what is best for the sport and ensure everyone has the best possible racing experience. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has said the window to change the engine regulations for 2026 has already closed and it is too late to reconsider. Wolff admitted that some teams are at a disadvantage because they miss the opportunity to make changes. However, he also noted that some teams believe they have made significant improvements to existing rules, and these types of debates are common when rules are set. Wolff admitted there is still room to improve the chassis and improve the car’s racing performance. However, he stressed that plans and decisions regarding the engine are already well advanced, making it impossible to make significant changes to the F1 2026 regulations at this time. Toto Wolff believes that now is the time for teams to focus on optimizing other aspects of the car’s design and performance within existing engine specifications. Formula 1 fans are looking forward to exciting racing when the new regulations come into force at the start of the 2026 season.
