The biggest in-season tweaks to the 2026 F1 rules might not come into play until mid-June
Formula 1 is reconsidering the introduction of a single-stage rules revamp for the Miami Grand Prix, possibly delaying decisions until the Barcelona race in June. Discussions focus on resolving safety concerns and improving the spectacle of qualifying following incidents like Ollie Bearman’s crash in Japan. Meetings between the FIA, teams, and team bosses are planned to vote on rule modifications before the Miami race in May. The idea of a phased implementation of new regulations has been suggested, with a focus on longer-term planning due to the upcoming calendar and limited testing opportunities. Racing Bulls team boss Alan Permane emphasizes the need for caution to avoid unintended consequences and believes a gradual approach may be more effective.
