MGU-H disappears from 2026: FIA opens door for Audi and Porsche

The exact details of the engine regulations for 2026 are yet to be finalised and will be presented to the World Motor Sport Council in early 2022, but we already know that the regulations are based on four pillars. This can be read on the website of the FIA.

- Retain the 1.6-litre V6 engine
- Increase electrical power to 350kW
- Eliminate the MGU-H
- Introduction of a Power Unit cost cap

In addition, the FIA has decided that Formula 1 will run on 100 percent renewable fuel in five years. In 2022 a first step will be taken by switching to E10 fuel, which consists of 10 percent ethanol.
