F1 grants teams an extra engine for the 2023 season

Author of the article: , published April 25, 2023

F1 teams will be able to use four power units without penalty in the 2023 season after the FIA ​​approved additional powertrain elements.

The 2023 season will be a record number of races, but because of concerns about the many penalties for powertrain changes, F1 has allowed teams to have four, instead of three, units of internal combustion engines, turbochargers, MGU-H and MGU-K.

In addition to these changes, the F1 Commission adopted some others, such as the definition of working on a racing car during a pit stop. This section was in the spotlight at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when Fernando Alonso was penalized for an improperly served 5-second penalty, which was later overturned. From Australia onwards, it is now considered work on a racing car if the lift touches the racing car.

Interestingly, however, the FIA ​​has agreed to add exceptions to the budget cap regarding sustainable infrastructure in team factories.
