In this new video from Motorsport TV’s weekly programme The Flying Lap, Scarborough gives his initial reaction to the new package, which retains the current 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid but increases the rev limit and eliminates the MGU-H.

“They’ve announced this new engine and that’s kind of good and bad in the regulations, but it does seem very muddled up,” says Scarborough.

“We’re not quite sure which direction Formula 1 wants to go."

Scarborough goes on to explain the plans and what they aim to achieve, suggesting it’s a backward step for F1.
