Here's how F1 is tweaking its hybrid systems to try to save the show

F1 and the FIA have updated hybrid power unit rules, changing electric power deployment, boost limits, and race-start behavior.

The goal is to ease energy-management pressure, slightly slow lap times, and improve safety and overall racing quality.

Wet-weather rules are also being adjusted to make races more stable and predictable in tricky conditions.

The tweaks are meant to address criticism of the current hybrid era ahead of 2026 without hurting overtaking or spectacle.
