Introduction

Formula 1 is changing its engine rules. Some drivers are also racing in other big events.

Main Body

The FIA is the group that makes the rules. They want to change the engines for 2026 and 2027. They want the cars to use more gas and less electricity. This makes the cars faster and easier to drive. Some leaders want V8 engines by 2030. These engines are louder and the cars are lighter. Companies like Audi and Ford want to join F1 because of new green fuels. But some drivers, like Max Verstappen, do not like the new rules. Max Verstappen also raced in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Many people bought tickets to see him. One driver had a scary accident with a fire, but the race is still very popular.

Conclusion

Formula 1 is trying to be green and exciting. Other races are still popular but can be dangerous.

🏁 The Power of 'Want'

In this text, we see a pattern: [Who] + want + [What/To do].

This is the easiest way to talk about goals or desires in English.

Examples from the text:

  • The FIA →\rightarrow want to change engines.
  • Leaders →\rightarrow want V8 engines.
  • Audi →\rightarrow want to join F1.

💡 Simple Rule: If you are talking about one person (He/She/Max), add an 's':

  • Max wants new rules.

Compare these opposites:

  • 🟢 More gas →\rightarrow 🔴 Less electricity
  • 🟢 Louder →\rightarrow 🔴 Lighter

Note: When we compare things, we often add '-er' to the end of the word (Fast →\rightarrow Faster).
