The recently announced changes to the F1 regulations will be in effect this weekend at the Miami Grand Prix.
George Russell defended the new F1 regulations, stating that the concerns raised by drivers in previous races have been addressed. The changes were prompted by worries about the behavior of the new power units, with a significant crash in Japan highlighting the need for adjustments. Updates have been announced and will come into effect this weekend in Miami. When questioned about his approval of the changes being influenced by Mercedes’ dominance, Russell emphasized the focus on safety aspects and eliminating issues like lift and coast during qualifying laps. He criticized an earlier proposal to reduce battery deployment, likening it to racing in F2, and expressed satisfaction that the FIA has responded to drivers’ feedback and made necessary adjustments.
