The FIA has confirmed that F1’s sprint format will be tweaked further for 2024, with changes set to be made to the schedule and parc ferme regulations.
After a meeting of the F1 Commission, several changes and decisions were announced. The sprint format will be updated for 2024, separating sprint activities from those for the Grand Prix. The specific details, including timing and parc ferme regulations, will be finalized in a proposal to be presented in 2024. Teams are prohibited from starting development work on their 2026 car before the start of 2026 to prevent a dominant team from shifting focus to the new rules. Tests in 2024 will focus on reducing spray and improving visibility in wet weather conditions. Tyre blankets will be kept for 2025 to improve tyre raceability. Efforts are being made to improve driver cooling, and refinements regarding the exclusion of Sustainability Initiative Costs from the Financial Regulations were approved.
