FIA wants only three power units for entire F1 World Championship from 2024 season. Teams may be allowed to use only three power units for the entire F1 season.

F1, a Record-Breaking Calendar
Season after season, Formula 1 has accustomed fans and professionals to the gradual expansion of the calendar. The scheduled races have now exceeded 20, and in 2024, there will be as many as 24 championship events. This is a record-breaking figure never achieved before, probably the objective limit for the entire paddock, which has long been considering the turnover of mechanics and engineers.

In addition to this number, there are also the weekends with the Sprint format, which includes two qualifying sessions and two races, currently six in total. For the upcoming championship, the Sprint race locations have not been communicated yet, but according to what was reported this morning by the Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport, “an increase is not excluded.”

Only Three Engines?
The same Italian newspaper, in article written by Fulvio Solms, wanted to emphasize another aspect, regarding the tightening of regulations for engines that the International Federation has in mind for the teams. There is talk of a further extension of the lifespan of power units, reducing their number to three for the entire world championship.

“The next step is an extension of the engines’ life, not gradual but drastic: only three power units for an entire season, that’s what the FIA wants from 2024,” as stated in today’s edition of the Corriere dello Sport. This would entail transitioning from the current 6,000 km of autonomy to the nearly 8,000 km required for the upcoming year.

A decision that the teams reportedly haven’t welcomed with open arms: “There is discontent over such a drastic choice, as ‘no one intends to dim the power with electronics’.” Engine manufacturers could request “additional leeway from the Federation to work on reliability.” – Corriere dello Sport informs.
