What F1 rules and regulations have the FIA changed at the Miami Grand Prix?
Following discussions and the crash at Suzuka, the FIA has made adjustments to F1 rules for safety and driver satisfaction, including changes to qualifying, race-starts, and wet conditions ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.
In response to concerns about harvesting and superclipping, the FIA reduced the maximum recharge to 7MJ and the superclip duration to 2-4 seconds per lap, aiming to promote aggressive racing and eliminate the need for lifting and coasting.
Changes also include capping Boost power at +150 kW, limiting MGU-K deployment in some areas to prevent dramatic speed differentials like those in Bearman’s accident, while maintaining higher deployment in overtaking zones.
A ‘low power start detection’ system and automatic MGU-K deployment have been introduced for race starts to assist cars with slow acceleration, along with visual warnings for following drivers.
These rule adjustments aim to enhance safety, promote competitive racing, and address driver concerns about certain aspects of the F1 regulations for the remainder of the 2026 season.
