F1 bosses are scheduled to meet on Friday to evaluate the initial findings following the debut of a fine-tuned version of this season's regulations at the Miami Grand Prix last weekend, RacingNews365 has learned.
According to sources, the meeting will involve representatives from the FIA, F1, the teams, and engine manufacturers.
On the agenda will be a wide-ranging discussion on the recent adjustments to the rules. It is understood that the meeting will also cover how to proceed should further modifications be required, although significant steps are not expected for the time being.
As is known, the FIA modified the 2026 regulations in four areas during the April hiatus, aiming to improve safety and make qualifying more enjoyable for drivers.
In this spirit, recoverable energy during qualifying was reduced from 8 MJ to 7 MJ, while the 'boost effect' for races was decreased, and the 'super clipping' limit was increased from 250 kW to 350 kW.
One of the safety-related modifications is the new 'low-power pull-away detection' system, developed to identify cars that accelerate extremely slowly after releasing the clutch at race starts.
In such cases, the MGU-K automatically engages to ensure the car achieves a minimum level of acceleration for safety, without providing a competitive advantage. The system also includes flashing rear and side lights to alert following drivers that the system is active.
Also, for safety reasons, the temperature for intermediate tyre blankets has been increased to prevent a loss of grip when drivers head out on fresh tyres.
To ensure better control, electric power was reduced, and the rear lights were redesigned to be brighter and more visible even in poor visibility conditions.
The FIA implemented these modifications following extensive consultations with representatives from F1, the teams, and power unit manufacturers, as well as the drivers.
Although some critics argued that more profound changes were necessary, the majority agreed, based on the experiences of the first weekend, that the sport has taken a step in the right direction and the action on the track has become more natural.
