Formula 1 drivers will be limited to just four V6 turbo hybrid Power Units during the course of the 2015 season.
Last year, each driver was allowed to use five engines. The F1 rulebook specified a decrease from five power units to four for 2015, but indicated “this number will be increased to five if the number of events in the championship, as originally scheduled, exceeds 20”. The preliminary F1 calendar features 21 races with the return of the Korean Grand Prix. However, that race was eventually removed from the calendar earlier in January. An FIA representative confirmed to British web site F1 Fanatic that as the calendar is now fully confirmed as having 20 Grands Prix, each driver will only be permitted to use four V6 turbo hybrid engines during this season.
