Way I see it, racing starts the year before the rules change. 850cc plus Pirelli — both engine character and tire grip become a different animal entirely. Transfers, testing feelers, all of it is a move made with 2027 in mind. Who grabs the initial setup of the new era first. The maneuvering on the ground has already begun.

Can't tell yet which manufacturers will gain or lose out from the Pirelli switch, and it feels a bit early to judge from testing impressions alone.

Transfers and tire debates already being affected before the rule even takes effect just shows how big a change this is.

Going to 850cc changes the engine's character, so the whole development direction is bound to shift too.
