Why the FIA says the Red Bull engine is the best in F1
If you've been following Formula 1 this past week, you might have seen a headline that seems to make absolutely no sense: Red Bull Powertrains currently has the benchmark engine in Formula 1. As in the "best" engine… Despite being 4th in the Constructors' Championship and 7th (Max Verstappen) and 8th (Isack Hadjar) in the WDC, Redbull somehow has the best engine in F1 (according to the FIA ADUO system) Which doesn’t add up at first because Mercedes has been the team winning r

Why The FIA Is Giving Mercedes Additional Engine Development
The FIA's latest engine assessment has created one of the strangest situations Formula 1 has seen in years. Mercedes is currently winning races. In fact, they have won every race of the 2026 season so far. Between Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, Mercedes has won every F1 race in 2026 But, despite their very clear dominance… Mercedes has just qualified for additional engine development under Formula 1's new regulations. At first glance, that sounds completely backwards. Sho

Mercedes 2026 Engine: Is F1's ADUO Repeating The Mistakes Of 2014?
F1 fears another 2014 Mercedes situation (but might be recreating it) If you've been following Formula 1's latest engine (ADUO) story, you might be wondering why Mercedes is being given additional development opportunities despite winning races.

FIA ADUO engine upgrades opened a door for Ferrari to fight for wins
Tifosi, this one's for you... While a lot of the attention surrounding Formula 1's new ADUO system has focused on Mercedes receiving additional development opportunities, and how Redbull somehow has the best “engine”, Ferrari may actually be the manufacturer that benefits the most. Hear me out… The FIA says that Ferrari is more than 4% behind the benchmark engine. Ferrari's 2026 F1 car, the SF26 And under the FIA's ADUO engine upgrades, that unlocks the maximum number of upg

FIA Two Stop Rule for Monaco Grand Prix 2025: Can It Finally Save F1’s Most Boring Race?
OK so… Let’s talk about Monaco. Not the Instagram version with champagne showers and helicopter shots over the harbour. Not the “crown jewel of Formula 1” that the broadcasters gush about. I mean the real Monaco… The Monaco GP: unmatched glamour, iconic scenery — and, until now, not much racing. The race that, if we’re being brutally honest, often feels like a glorified parade with zero overtaking and one tyre stop (if we’re lucky) For years, it’s been the same story…. Qualif
