Is this a genuine comment - or are RBR trying to impose a greater 'freeze' on PU development and give themselves an edge in the aero for 2026? I suspect the latter.

The power issue for the 2026 engines and that reduced drag is what will address that is a known issue and is driving the regulations for the cars. But I can imagine RBPT might be nervous with respect to how their engine fits within the pecking order of the other power unit manufactures. And that a focus on more aero allowances fit within their strengths (Newey).
