The proposed Formula 1 race for rookie drivers scheduled at the end of the season has been postponed to 2025 due to timing constraints, as announced by the FIA. The idea, initially aimed at running a race for rookie drivers alongside the traditional young driver test in Abu Dhabi this year, garnered significant support within the F1 community. Following a meeting of the F1 Commission at the RB headquarters in Faenza, it was collectively decided to earmark 2025 for this special event instead. The meeting, comprising all F1 teams, was presided over by FIA single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis and F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali, with discussions also revolving around the 2026 regulations. These regulations encompass adjustments in performance, aerodynamics, and safety aspects, with a particular emphasis on enhancing aerodynamic performance. Additionally, the sporting regulations slated for 2026 will undergo a significant overhaul, aiming for a more simplified structure, including the introduction of three three-day tests to prepare for the new power unit regulations on the horizon.
