Today's F1 News Delivered Faster Than a Pit Stop
F1 commission to address engine equalization, Alonso trades blame with Aston Martin, and other big updates from around the world of Formula 1.
High-level sources reveal that engine equalization has been added to the agenda of the upcoming F1 Commission meeting at the Belgian Grand Prix. The FIA analyzed current power unit performance following concerns from Alpine (Renault) that their engine is lagging behind rivals, estimating a 15-25Kw (20-33hp) deficit. With strict engine freeze regulations until 2025, Renault is frustrated as they can't improve their engine. The FIA considers potential action to level the field, but the specifics of equalization remain uncertain. Past attempts at equalization were based on holding back top power units' performance, but no agreement was reached. The F1 Commission will also discuss other topics, like a potential tire blanket ban and changes to sprint race weekend formats.
