F1 is currently planning to introduce a brand new power unit for the 2026 season and onwards. While the basics of the new regulations upon by all the concerned parties, such as FOM, power unit manufacturers – both existing and prospective, and the FIA, the final draft of the regulations is yet to be signed off. Since manufacturers will have less than four years to develop the new power units once the regulations are fully signed off, Toto Wolff believes the FIA must expedite the process. He, however, conceded that given the number of parties involved, the process is likely to take time. Despite that, he expressed hope that the process wouldn’t keep dragging on for too long. He said: “I think it’s not easy with all of the incumbents and the new power unit suppliers to really get to a point that we are having detailed regulations that are ready to be signed. But I hope that it’s not dragging out too long.”
