2021/22 Engine versions and upgrades

[nevill3]

So with an engine development freeze agreed today where are the teams regarding development?

I presume most manufacturers will be bringing a new specification of last years power unit for the start of the season and as far as I understand they will be allowed one "upgrade" per power unit element during the 2021 season.

Will the manufacturers be allowed to bring a new specification for 2022 as one last final upgrade before the big freeze?

Yes, they will.

I haven't seen anything yet confirming whether it's a straight freeze or whether Ferrari got their desired performance equalisation thing as well.

Anyone have anything official yet?

Bot they say 'Should be finalised in next few days' So maybe not quite set in stone yet?

According to the long running Honda thread on here Honda have rushed through the proposed upgrade scheduled for next year, and are running it this year, if I have understood that very long thread correctly.

Has any other engine manufacturers done something similar, If the Honda upgrade is reliable then a further mid season upgrade followed by a final upgrade pre 2022 could see a superior engine to the rest of the field, unless of course Mercedes has a beast of an upgrade for this years season opener, Ferrari have solved all its flaws from last year and Renault have indeed copied the split turbo idea that was introduced by Mercedes.

So many questions can anybody shed some light on a few of the points.
