The FIA has confirmed it rejected a proposal to cut power to the 2026 F1 power units ahead of the Miami Grand Prix this weekend, amid ongoing concerns over superclipping and energy management.

FIA single-seater director Tombazis acknowledged challenges with the 50:50 energy split and the unexpected increase in car speed and downforce.
