Teams Bragging About Bad Engines | F1 News

F1’s new ADUO engine rules are turning competitiveness on its head—teams worse off get more upgrades, sparking a bizarre arms race where manufacturers openly brag about how terrible their engines are. Ferrari and Audi led the charge, downplaying their upgrades as “small steps,” playing a strategic game of pretending to lag behind to qualify for more help. The FIA’s trying to refine the metrics, but Red Bull’s pushing to keep focus on ICE, leaving hybrid teams a potential loophole. It’s a chess match wrapped in technical jargon, all while teams tout F1’s road-car relevance—creating a comical contradiction that’s turning engine development into a farce.
