“The aspect of the financial rules must be defined and then the theme of what it means to be a new participant, what benefits should they enjoy “. With these words reported by The Gazzetta dello Sport the Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto he referred to the draft regulation relating to the new engine cycle that will take place in F1 starting from 2026. The content of the draft in question was unveiled by Christian Horner, number one of Red Bull. The team principal of the Milton Keynes stable said as reported by the newspaper GPFans that the status of new participant as an engineer starting from 2026 will confer a ‘bonus’ on the cap on expenses relating to engines – which will be introduced – equal to 10 million dollars for the first two years, with another 5 million ‘extra’ during the third year, 2028. In addition, in addition to the economic bonus, more hours of dynamic bench tests are foreseen.
According to what was revealed by the German journalist Michael Schmidt, in the video analysis following the Australian Grand Prix made for the newspapers Auto Motor und SportMattia Binotto pointed out that the 2022 entry list bears the wording ‘Red Bull Powertrains’ alongside the Red Bull and AlphaTauri stables, so the Ferrari team principal rightly wonders why Red Bull Powertrains should be considered a rookie engineer starting in 2026. Red Bull’s contention to support rookie status in 2026 is that Honda is still building the engines at the moment and Red Bull just puts the logo on it. Details and quibbles reminiscent of the interpretation of the word ‘any’ regarding the regulations on the doubling behind the Safety Car at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last December. Then Horner and Red Bull’s sporting director Wheatley pointed out that ‘any’ does not mean ‘all’, and that therefore Michael Masi’s actions were not wrong in trying to guarantee a ‘racing’ finish to the race. . The definitive regulation on the new cycle of engines on paper should be defined by June, but in the light of this and many other disputes not yet resolved, it is difficult to expect a deadline that is now just around the corner to be met.
