Mercedes has reportedly issued a strong warning, signaling that it may consider legal action if any late-stage regulation changes are introduced that specifically undermine its power unit advantage.
According to reports, the team believes altering the rules at such a late point would be unfair and could disrupt the competitive balance heading into the new era.
Sources suggest Mercedes views its power unit development as fully compliant with existing regulations and is prepared to defend the work it has invested over recent seasons.
The potential dispute highlights growing tensions within the paddock as teams push to protect their technical gains ahead of the upcoming regulation reset.
If changes are enforced, the situation could escalate into a legal battle, adding another layer of drama to Formula 1’s evolving landscape.
