They could mandate a single or twin turbo 2.0-2.5L ICE of any cylinder count and a crank located spec MGU-K of 200 hp and a manufacturer provided smaller battery (solid state allowed) only 30% of the current size that can be charged via braking on both axles (spec front axle generator only) and on throttle harvesting. Fully sustainable fuels with a defined corridor for energy density 30% higher than 26 capped at 80 kg per race. Aim for cars ~50kg lighter than now and an even smaller footprint.
Sustainable fuels costs are ridiculous... 2025 Cost = $18p/l... 2026 Cost = $250p/l.
