The previous regulations allowed maximum compression ratio of 18:1 . The 2026 regulations the max is 16:1 . My previous statement was wrong regarding 14:1 . This video a little over 4 minutes long does a good job explaining what some folks think Mercedes and Red Bull are doing to get to 18:1 when the engine is hot . Quite clever actually .
