F1 Power Unit Makers to Vote on Compression Ratio Test Change

Formula 1's five power unit manufacturers will vote on a proposed change to how engine compression ratios are measured, a tweak that could take effect during the summer break.

F1 power unit makers will decide whether the 2026 compression ratio of 16:1 will be measured under different conditions than the current ambient temperature test. The vote could alter how teams prepare engines for the next season.
