F1’s engine r🗹egulations for 2026 will retain the current 1.6-litre V6 engines while removing the MGU-H component from the units.

Sustainability continues to be at the forefront of th🐓e sport’s thinking as it looks to act new manufacturers such as Porsche and Volksw🍌agen.

With Honda bowing out of the sport at the end of last year, Red Bull has taken on its own power ꦫunit supply with the formation of Red Bull Powertrains.

Speaking after the launch of Aston Martin’s 2022 F1 cha✨llenger, Green admitted that the team is interested ꦆin producing its own power units in the future.

“I think going forward with our ambitions, we’re definitely investigating our power unit supply in the long-term,” Green sai🥃d. “2026 is mooted as a new power unit regulation and I think, as a team, we’d love to be involved. We have Aramco now involved as a sponsor and I think conversations going forward in the next few years.

“We’ll see. For surܫe we’ll be looking at it in great detail and understanding whether they’ll be a benefit to it in that direction.”

Aston Marti⭕n will continue to run Mercedes engines in 2022 with the regulations remaining relatively stable over the winter for F🃏1’s power units.

🅺The main change is the type of fuel with a movꦆe to E10.

“So on the current power unit, the power unit has minimal changes from ’21,” 𒁃Green explained. “It’s probably the single area of the car that’s had the least amount of change from ’21 to ’22 as we’re still in a homologated region of the power unit. The power unit has been developed with E10 fuel for 2022, so it had to be re-calibrated and the fuels re-blended.

“But that’s not a significant alteration for powe🐠r unit suppliers and it’s common amongst all the teams, so they are still only producing one power unit for everybody. So I don’t think that was a big issue for them.”
