F1 Power Units to Vote on Engine Test Changes

F1's five power unit manufacturers will vote on proposed changes to engine compression ratio measurement methods.

Formula 1's five power unit manufacturers are set to vote on a proposed tweak to how engine compression ratios are measured, which could come into force over the summer break.

The 2026 power unit regulations prescribe an engine compression ratio of 16:1, down from 18:1 last year. This ratio has traditionally been measured at ambient temperature when the engine isn't running.
