Friday Night Live explodes as Mercedes are thrown into total chaos just weeks before the season begins. 🔥

In tonight’s show we break down one of the biggest technical controversies in modern F1:

🚨 Mercedes’ power unit is under threat after rival manufacturers push the FIA to change how engine compression ratios are tested — from cold checks to race-temperature testing.
If approved, this could invalidate Mercedes’ engine design, force late redesigns, and completely flip the 2026 Formula 1 grid.

💥 Red Bull hold the deciding vote in a super-majority that includes Ferrari, Audi and Honda — and Mercedes are reportedly prepared to take the FIA to court if the change is enforced.

We also cover:
• Why Ferrari could be the big winners
• What this means for McLaren, Williams & Alpine
• Whether the FIA can legally block the vote
• Why this echoes the infamous 2019 Ferrari fuel-flow saga

PLUS:
⚠️ Racing Bulls boss Alan Permane publicly questions Liam Lawson
⚡ Ollie Bearman slams 2026 energy management as “sad”
📉 Are young drivers struggling more than expected?

This is real Formula 1 politics, real power struggles, and a moment that could define the next era of F1.

👇 Get involved in the comments:
Should the FIA change the testing rules — yes or no?
