Formula One agrees to engine changes from next season after widespread criticism

Formula One has agreed to make engine design changes for the 2027 season following widespread criticism from drivers, including Max Verstappen, about the new-generation engines introduced this year. At a Friday meeting, the FIA, F1, teams, and engine manufacturers reached an agreement, pending formal approval, to fast-track regulatory changes allowing revised engines to be used next season. The key modification will reduce the electrical energy component of the power units.
