F1 set for another engine tweak in 2027, and what's this about V8s?

Formula 1 leaders agreed to change engine regulations for 2027 by adjusting the 50-50 power split to increase internal combustion output. The changes aim to address driver concerns about excessive lifting-and-coasting required to fill the battery. While discussions have centered on potentially returning to normally aspirated V8 engines for a future formula, the 2027 changes focus on rebalancing the current V6 hybrid system to a 60-40 split favoring the combustion engine.
