The rule changes are being discussed between F1, the FIA and the engine manufacturers.
they are Agreed in principle To increase the amount of energy coming from the internal combustion engine and reduce the electrical energy by the same amount.
Asked if a resolution would increase his chances of staying in F1 next year, Verstappen said: “Yes, of course. I just want a good product in Formula 1. And that will definitely improve the product.
“Hopefully next year it will happen. It will already help a lot, because I’ve always said it doesn’t matter if I have a good car or not. It’s just the product. And I think the product will improve that way, so naturally I think the enjoyment will also increase.”
World champion Lando Norris said: “It’s a great aspect that we all welcome as drivers. We all want it.
“Maybe it’s not the perfect world we all want, but it’s definitely on the right track, I’d say.”
His team-mate Oscar Piastri said: “It’s a step in the right direction. But it’s not permanent.”
Mercedes driver George Russell agreed that the changes “will be positive” as they will reduce the effect currently seen where the car loses speed at the end of the straight and loses about half its power as the engine switches to recharge mode.
“You shouldn’t lose engine power when you’re going down the straight, which you think is the right and proper thing to do,” Russell said. “I don’t know how it will affect racing.”
Growth is most likely to come through rule changes Fuel flow in an internal combustion engine, This brings challenges though as it affects engine design and fuel-tank size.
But an agreement has yet to be reached and further talks aimed at finding a compromise will be held in Montreal this weekend.
Time and cost are key issues. Engine development takes time and manufacturers are already very hard pressed to implement changes in time for next year.
And some manufacturers want to build extra allowances into the engine budget cap to enable them to pay for development.
