The MGU-H or Motor Generator Unit Heat has been a controversial part of F1’s cutting-edge engines of the V6 turbo hybrid era. It is technically one of the most sophisticated parts that has caused engine manufacturers to spend a lot of money in R&D. Red Bull, now that it has taken over the Honda IP, and is lobbying for its elimination as F1, manufacturers and the FIA decide the next engine formula. Mercedes which has so far had the best engine in the turbo-hybrid era of the sport is not ready to give up on the MGU-H as it is a competitive advantage that will carry through to 2025 and beyond but now Mercedes’ F1 boss, Toto Wolff has said he is willing to make concessions to facilitate Volkswagen Group’s entry into the sport as a constructor and potentially as an engine manufacturer.
“I think it’s an agreement that, I can’t speak for anyone else, but at Mercedes, we are prepared to enter into something to facilitate the entry of Volkswagen Group. But there are many other topics where compromises need to be made. The Mercedes F1 team co-owner said.

“And, if agreement cannot be found, we will probably go back to the regime and have 2026 rules that are going to come up with the FIA and the FOM,” he warned.
F1 wants to bring down the cost of engines which have been quite high and is looking to attract new manufacturers especially after Honda exited the sport. Audi and Porsche, two brands of the Volkswagen Group, have shown interest in entering F1 and have been part of these working group meetings.

Ferrari also wants a new V4 type engine powered by biofuel and electric motors, although Alpine and Renault are looking to continue with the current formula with some changes.
