F1 to steer away from electric power in 2027

The FIA has announced that Formula 1 will shift away from its current near 50:50 split between combustion and electric power for the 2027 season. The change follows widespread dissatisfaction with the 2026 technical regulations, which required drivers to manage energy heavily, slowing cars before braking zones and negatively affecting driving style. Safety concerns were also a factor, highlighted by Oliver Bearman's serious accident at Suzuka involving Franco Colapinto amid differing energy deployment states.
