F1 2026 power unit saga takes fresh twist - report:

— The F1 Commission's initial plan to address the compression ratio issue has been replaced by a new compromise. The original proposal, which was set to amend regulations from 1st August 2026, required a super-majority vote from power unit manufacturers and F1 authorities.

— Mercedes, despite supporting the initial proposal, faced opposition from other manufacturers over the dual temperature measurement requirement. This led to a revised agreement, moving the deadline to 1st June and introducing a two-stage approach for compression ratio measurements.

— From 1st June 2026, measurements will be taken under both cold and hot conditions. However, starting in 2027, only hot-condition measurements will be required. This change limits Mercedes' advantage, as it will need to adapt its power unit design accordingly.

— The revised proposal benefits Mercedes' competitors by eliminating the dual-measurement system advantage from 2027. This forces Mercedes to adjust its power unit strategy, aligning with the new hot-condition-only measurement rule.

— The ongoing adjustments to the power unit regulations highlight the complexities and competitive dynamics within F1. The evolving rules aim to balance innovation with fairness among the manufacturers, ensuring a level playing field in the sport
