2026 Hybrid Powerunits

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

The sin was that a fantastic F1 innovation was abandoned.
It was officially pitched as removing an entry barrier for new OEMs. Maybe it was successful in that regard. But there were plenty of options available to mitigate that loss. But alas, they wanted a very specific formula. And thats the risk of catering to a power center in F1 that doesnt care about the sport but its own success instead. The warnings were loud and clear, especially from Red Bull in particular. Forget MGU-h, they have almost eliminated the driver.
