Red Bull confirm talks to ensure F1 'complexity' does not get out of control

Red Bull Racing's team principal, Laurent Mekies, has confirmed that discussions are underway to address the complexities of Formula 1 cars following a chaotic Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. A software bug led to power loss in several cars, including those of Lewis Hamilton and Esteban Ocon, prompting the FIA to issue an emergency patch before the race could proceed.

The incident highlighted broader concerns regarding the upcoming 2026 power unit regulations, which aim to simplify hybrid systems. Mekies noted that the situation served as a reminder to keep the complexity of the cars under control, and the FIA plans to review the incident to prevent future occurrences.
