2026 Regs potential delay - Discussion

Why would RB be against this engine formula? They only ever designed an engine for this, they literally have nothing else...

The news this year explicitly mention that no changes to the formula are expected for at least some years.

RBR is operating with engines the same way they do with drivers.
They keep Honda engines(even if shared with Aston) and tell Ford deal is off or postponed, redirect their engineers to help Honda.

Why would they do that? They spent a lot of money to develop the engines. Hired several experienced F1 engine designers. As a bonus they got Ford on board as well. And by all accounts the development is going fine.

Lol RB don't want current rules because they won't be competitive

It's not about the current rules it's about the 2026 rules. He claimed RB is against the 2026 rules and wants it scrapped.

By " current rules " I meant current proposed iteration of 2026 rules since it tends to change depending on the week's whim

You mean the ones that are pretty much finalized? Even if a bunch of people are making eclectic proposals.
