FIA details changes to Formula 1 engines for 2027 and 2028
Confirming a prior agreement with the teams, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) made official, last Tuesday, the 23rd, the adoption of modifications to the Formula 1 engines for the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The main change lies in the proportion between combustion and the electrical part, which will evolve from the current 53%/47% to 58%/42% in 2027 and, subsequently, to 60%/40% in 2028.
The initiative, originally announced on June 10, was well received by competitors, despite many wanting deeper interventions.
The regulatory entity clarified that the adjustments will focus on the power of the combustion engine, fuel management and the use of the energy recovery system, allowing greater adaptability in power management during races.
The guidelines were confirmed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, during a meeting held this Tuesday in the city of Macau, China. The current technical regulations had already caused a significant transformation in Formula 1 single-seaters, introducing hybrid engines that require intense and constant energy management from the drivers, a process that still generates adaptation challenges.

However, the receptivity to the changes generated strong discontent in the paddock, with four-time champion Max Verstappen, from Red Bull, publicly expressing his dissatisfaction.
He compared the 2026 vehicles to a “Formula E on steroids” and even considered moving away from the sport if the car situation did not show significant improvements.
