The FIA has addressed concerns over the 2026 Formula 1 regulations ahead of the Miami Grand Prix
“FIA’s Single-Seater Director Nikolas Tombazis sees the Formula 1 technical regulation tweaks for the Miami Grand Prix as a refinement rather than a major overhaul.
Initial feedback on the 2026 regulations has been mostly negative, criticizing the perceived artificial nature of the increased overtaking.
Safety concerns were raised due to high closing speeds leading to accidents like Ollie Bearman and Franco Colapinto’s incident in Japan.
Tombazis emphasized the importance of these regulations for maintaining technological relevance and acknowledged the need for intervention based on early race feedback.
Changes implemented include adjustments to energy harvesting, deployment limitations, and safety measures for starts and wet conditions.
Despite these updates, the FIA remains open to further revisions based on ongoing feedback from teams and drivers, seeing it as a natural part of the evolution process in Formula 1.
