Formula 1 is set for fresh talks about changes to race starts, The Race has learned, despite Ferrari blocking a previous move to alter them
Formula 1 is considering potential changes to the start sequence at grands prix due to safety concerns and complicated procedures required for good getaways with the 2026 cars.
Drivers have faced challenges with the new start procedures during testing, including keeping the turbo spooled up for around 10 seconds.
Concerns about safety have been raised, with drivers facing difficulties in preparing for race starts and an increased likelihood of fumbled starts leading to potential accidents.
Several drivers and team members believe the matter should be discussed with the FIA to consider changes that could help minimize risks and improve the start process.
The issue may be brought up at the F1 Commission meeting next week to debate a range of matters related to the 2026 rules and potential adjustments to the start sequence.
