I haven't yet located the original source from the-race, but...

These are the CHANGES that the FIA is studying for the PU in 2027

1. Better measure the ICE

2. Measure the ENTIRE Power Unit: ICE + MGU-K + battery + efficiency

3. Allocate extra development based on position in Constructors', like with wind tunnel hours
These are the changes in the measurement. The changes in the distribution of aid and all that is a separate matter about which, for now, there isn't much information. But it is known that it will be addressed this week in the committee and that if it goes through, it will be voted on in the PUAC (4 out of 6 votes are needed).

At least something is in the works.
It could hardly get worse for RBPT :(

1 and 2 are necessary, about time even.
3 should be ignored, I don't know why they're even looking at it. Build a crap chassis and get PU development? Lol.

From what I gathered, the changes would have the support of Honda, Audi, and RBPT (of course). I can't say yet on Ferrari. Mercedes would vote no. Cadillac's position is unknown.

The more information we get out of this, the more I solidify my opinion that this testing was custom made for mercedes engines. The first change just makes you think :shock:

Would be nice to find an official source. Better measure if one of the core judgements of performance and resulting allowances is on this measurement sounds too ridiculous to be true.

Max Verstappen ahead of the Azerbaijan GP: “Madrid was a good result for us and the team has been working hard on taking this positive momentum to make sure we maximise the performance of the car in Baku.”

“The track is a mix of long straights, so you need good efficiency but also enough downforce to go through the tight corners, especially in the second sector. It is a challenging, technical street circuit, but is exciting to drive. We've made some good steps with the car over the last few races and we have some good memories here. It is also great that Isack has recovered from his injury and that he will be back in the car for this race.”

the power of positive thoughts. What stage of grief is this? :lol:
