The FIA has confirmed that changes to the technical, sporting and financial regulations for the 2025 F1 season have been approved.
An announcement was made by the governing body on Tuesday afternoon, following the first F1 Commission meeting of the year which took place on February 18, at the F1 management offices in London.
Key changes for the upcoming season as outlined by motorsport's governing body include more stringent front-wing deflection tests, which will be introduced from the Spanish Grand Prix.
The new tests were originally intended to be introduced at round seven from Imola before the teams convinced the FIA to delay it for a further two rounds.
However, more stringent rear-wing deflection tests will be introduced from the season-opener next month in Australia.
Other changes include the finalisation of the driver cooling system, the removal of the limitations in the number of gearboxes used by teams and revisions and clarifications of sprint and race starts.
Furthermore, the FIA provided an update on the regulatory drafting process of next year's regulations for when the new power unit regulations will be introduced, with a focus on the technical regulations.
All of the changes announced are subject to approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
