Final 2026 ADUO review adds no homologations

The FIA’s third and final 2026 assessment covered rounds 12–18. Gaps to the leading internal-combustion engine had shifted, but the review produced no new homologations. ADUO assesses that engine component alone, not the full power unit. Allowances awarded earlier remain: Mercedes received one additional homologation for each of 2026 and 2027, while Audi, Ferrari and Honda received two for each year. The report says Ferrari and Honda have used both their permitted 2026 upgrades. Audi is understood to be saving its next for 2027, while Mercedes has yet to introduce its additional 2026 homologation. Red Bull remains the only manufacturer unable to upgrade under the system.
