FIA, FOM and teams agree proposed F1 regulatory changes for 2027 and 2028

The FIA, FOM, teams and power unit manufacturers have agreed a package of changes to the Formula 1 Technical, Sporting and Financial Regulations for 2027 and 2028.

The agreement follows discussions held since the opening races of the 2026 season, after concerns were identified around energy management under the new power unit framework.

The proposed changes are intended to address energy management and fuel energy flow characteristics, making qualifying more flat-out while preserving the racing produced by the new regulations.

The package introduces a staged rebalancing of internal combustion engine and energy recovery system contribution across the 2027 and 2028 seasons. It includes targeted adjustments to combustion engine output, fuel energy flow and ERS deployment, together with greater flexibility in energy management.

Supporting measures related to power unit supply conditions, race operations and the relevant financial regulations are also included.

The FIA said the 2026 Formula 1 regulations were developed and agreed in close partnership between the FIA, FOM, teams, OEMs and power unit manufacturers. The latest amendments continue that collaboration as stakeholders refine the framework and address operational challenges.

The proposed changes will be submitted to the World Motor Sport Council for approval on June 23 in Macau.
