F1's next-generation engine to lose MGU-H as key details emerge

F1 is currently in the process of finalising 🥂its next power unit regulations for 2026 onwards, with sustainability, effi⭕ciency and increased power at the forefront of its target.
An update was provided by t♔he FIA following Wednesday’s meeting of the World Mot🥀or Sport Council.
F1’s next-generation engine will retain the 1.6-litre V6 concept that has featured since 2014 but it has been agreed that the sophisticated and costly MGU-H e𒁃lement will 🙈be removed.
That loss will be replaced by 📖an increase in the eleꦡctrical power output to 350kW through the MGU-K.
The FIA also confirmed that a power unit cost cap will form part of its bid to significantly reduce costs and attract interested n🌸ewcomers to F1 amid intensifying links that Audi and/or Porsche is seeking an entr♔y.
While F1 is keen to stress a “powerful environmental message” by using 100% sustainable fuel in its new enginꦆe, the FIA insists it will “protect the show” through a “powerful and high-revving power unit, car performance, sound, drivers’ ability to race” and🅠 “avoiding excessive differentiation”.
A detailed document of the 2026 Power Unit Regulations is set to be developed in the coming weeks and submit♚ted to the WMSC in early 2022.
