Audi have shocked the F1 paddock by introducing the first engine upgrade of the season There's been an ongoing battle behind the scenes over the ADUO process, which is the F1's engine upgrade system for 2026 - Additional Development Upgrade Opportunities 馃憞馃憞馃憞 #f1 #formula1

But what would happen if Mercedes also introduces an upgrade and the FIA later decide to disallow them from having an upgrade?

It seems the most likely outcome is for every team to have an upgrade for this first round of the ADUO process, but time will tell what route the FIA decide to take

Some will say he only won because of the fortunately timed VSC, but in the end he won by almost a full pit stop, so it looked like he would win regardless

The question is, where does he go from here? Can he really challenge for a record 8th world title up against the dominant Mercedes team?

F1 have just announced some engine tweaks for 2027 and beyond First up, the fuel flow is being increased by 5% in 2027 and 13% in 2028, which should give the cars 50KW more power by 2028, which is about 67bhp

All of this should mean more combustion power when the battery runs out, more capacity to recharge and longer lasting batteries due to the lower deployment rate in races It should also make overtaking much more likely since a following car has more power than the car in front

Superclipping will still exist, but the need for it should be reduced because cars can harvest more under braking naturally

A total of 6 drivers were penalised for speeding in the pits at Monaco, but it turns out their penalties weren't entirely fair That's because the F1 rules simply state that "A speed limit of 60km/h will be imposed in the Pit Lane" #f1 #formula1

However, it's not illegal for drivers to cut across this line and in fact Hamilton (who was penalised) barely cut the line more than Leclerc (who wasn't penalised), as the attached images show

The FIA reportedly warned the drivers that this could happen, but if the FIA knew their measurement system could register false positives, why did they hand out penalties anyway?
