Mario Isola, the employee under the director of Pirelli, initiated a talk to get Pirelli’s conviction to get in power with the 2026 engine regulations. Formula 1 last had engine regulations executed back in 2014, with the introduction of the V6 twin-turbo hybrid, this introduced an electric unit to the engine from all alone combustion unit. 2026 might see more electric usage with original gasoline parts as well, it could be much lighter and cheaper to attract more engine manufacturers. Nothing regarding has been entirely opened by Formula 1 as of now.
