FIA president admits ‘unfair step’ towards new F1 rules
FIA president admits “unfair measures” towards new F1 rules scheduled to be introduced in 2026.
New rules require new power plants to operate on sustainable fuels and triple the power and he over 1,000 horsepower.
Due to regulations, many manufacturers have attempted to participate in the sport.
Audi has already been confirmed to replace Sauber as both team and engine supplier.
Porsche and Ford have also expressed interest.
However, there was some skepticism about the rules among some current teams.
Red Bull said it wanted higher fuel flows.
The team raised concerns after seeing how this worked in various simulations.
Ben Sulayem admits ‘unfair’ move in regulations However, the FIA president said it would be an unfair move to change the rules after they came into force, but for new teams I leave it at that when I join a network that I also acknowledge is going to be unfair.
When asked by Motorsportmagazin.com if he was afraid of scaring Audi off by people announcing changes to the new regulations, Ben Sulayem replied: We said this is our area of responsibility.
“The FIA was already working on the development of the drive unit before me.
I will always be grateful and respectful to our technical department.
“After we approved the regulations, the manufacturers also followed suit.
I followed suit.
If we hadn’t done this, neither Audi nor Porsche nor anyone else would be interested in it.
If you close your mind to change and keep everyone in their comfort zone, you won’t create new teams.
The FIA president talked about resistance to the rules and how it is unfair to act on them.
He said “Is it fair?
” No.
We have to take this step, we have to be a little courageous.
We must move forward with an open mind.
Naturally, there was resistance.
“But then Audi made a deal.
With tweaks, weight changes, new materials introduced, technology is evolving every day!
“I say: we We’re not going to lose anyone with this change, we’re going to make sure we don’t lose people like Audi.
” We’re putting a lot of effort into attracting them and sparking interest in Porsche.
“No, that’s not true.
It’s also unfair to change something after you’ve done it.
