It is a well-known fact that three F1 engine makers, Liberty Media and the FIA are working together to design the next generation of F1 engines that will be deployed in 2026. The Volkswagen Group has also been on the table as F1 attempts to woo. The world’s largest automotive company to reach the pinnacle of motorsport. Since July there has been some disagreement mainly related to the MGU-H which has been a technologically advanced but complex element of the turbo-hybrid era V6 engine. Mercedes which has the best engine for the last 7-8 years is reluctant to get rid of it, while the Red Bull powertrain that will move to the Honda IP later this year is very keen to get rid of it. Volkswagen Group is also very keen to see the end of the technology as it has not been deployed on road cars by any manufacturer, including Ferrari.
However, Ferrari was always going to be a sticky element, thanks to the sport’s historical importance and its veto power. But it looks like Ferrari has also come around and agreed to the nixing of the MGU-H which paves the way for the entry of VW Group brands like Audi and Porsche or even both. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff had revealed that it was okay to drop expensive gears from the engine if certain other criteria were met that related to additional development headroom for new manufacturers such as VW or their potential partners Red Bull Powertrains that build one. A brand new engine for the next era of F1.
Globally, Audi and Porsche’s F1 . There has been widespread support for entering
Michael Schmidt of the influential German publication Auto Motor und Sport has revealed that the MGU-H will be dropped if both Audi and Porsche are coming. “The MGU-H will be released only when Audi and Porsche are coming. Both are coming,” he said.
It should be noted that Liberty Media CEO Stefano Domenicali came from Volkswagen Group, where he was the CEO of Lamborghini, so he knows exactly what is needed to woo the two brands, something that F1 has known for over a decade. trying to do. The Diesel Gate scandal put the brakes on any VW Group entry into F1 in the turbo-hybrid era, but now that the group is well on its way to being an EV-first automotive conglomerate, things are looking better.

“Stefano Domenicali says things are looking good at the moment,” Schmidt said. And they also revealed that Red Bull has dropped the demand for a new internal combustion engine element and that the element will retain the V6 architecture of the current engines but with about 3 times more power output. The internal combustion engine will likely be powered by biofuels which will ensure that F1 cars are carbon neutral.
