⚙️ Engine Development Under the Previous and New Regulations
3 years of F1 development under engine freeze are still worth
2.280 s/lap: that's the average 2022→2025 improvement!
Best development: Williams (-3.315s).
Worst: Ferrari (-1.464s), best car at the start of '22, only 4th best by '25.
Williams was 5.635s quicker in Australia 2025 than in 2022!
Ferrari was SLOWER (+0.099s) in Baku 2025 compared to 2022...
2026 cars are just 0.208s slower than in 2022: they will soon match the 2025 ones through combined chassis and PU development. 😉
The increased fuel flow going forward will help too!
