Red Bull Racing wants the hardware of the power units to be changed by 2027, GPblog understands. As a result, the team sides with its four-time world champion, Max Verstappen, who was vocal about making big changes to the current regulations.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella also said that Formula 1 must remain open to further changes after the Miami Grand Prix, keeping hardware adjustments on the table, he explained when answering GPblog’s question.

He said: "Finally again, as I said before, there should be a consideration for some hardware changes, more for the longer term such that we can place the operating point of the power unit somewhere where less compromises are required from a chassis point of view, or from a driving point of view. We think this is possible and we think that all stakeholders should approach this conversation with the willingness to contribute."

The current dominant force, Mercedes, could do little if a supermajority exists, meaning that four of the five power unit manufacturers, the FIA, and Formula One Management support the plan.

Speaking exclusively to GPblog, Dani Juncadella, Verstappen's GT3 teammate, discussed his relationship with the Dutchman and his busy schedule this year. For the first time in his career, the Spaniard also competes in the hypercar category of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Former F1 driver David Coulthard also addressed the rumours around Verstappen and his future in Formula 1. He said: “Everything's possible. I'm not sure Max knows right now what he'll do. It's a case of he doesn't have to decide right now, so why make any decision?”
