F1 should discuss the idea of creating artificial engine parity in F1. Since 2022, the power units have been frozen. Teams are no longer allowed to work on the engines to increase their power. They can only focus on improving reliability.<\/p>\n
In Belgium, the FIA should discuss with the teams to increase the power of the engines for the weaker power units. It would be the Renault power unit that could see its power artificially increased for more equality.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s boss, Christian Horner, supports the idea of engine parity. \u00ab I think it’s about identifying what the deficits are. I believe the FIA has all the data and should present the exact differences. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Without this artificial increase authorized by the FIA, engine manufacturers would be locked in until 2026. \u00ab This would be fascinating for everyone, and I believe that if there is a deficit within the homologation framework, it is something we should take into account. Otherwise, we are stuck for two years. Therefore, I would not be opposed to a reasonable discussion \u00bb stated the English member of the Austrian team.<\/p>\n
The power of the engines can only evolve very little for several seasons. In order to reduce the cost of engine development, motor manufacturers are restricted in the modifications they can make during the season. Each manufacturer has tokens that allow them to modify certain engine components, but only for reliability reasons. Therefore, power gains are marginal under these conditions.<\/p>\n
Last year, Alpine, for example, suffered from a significant lack of reliability in terms of engines. Renault had indeed chosen to push the engine’s capacity to the maximum in terms of power, even at the cost of losing a bit of reliability, in order to address it during the season, after the freezing of the engine’s technical characteristics.<\/p>\n
At present, it is estimated that Mercedes and Honda probably have the most powerful engines, ahead of Ferrari and Alpine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
