Here’s everything you need to know about the changes to the 2026 F1 rules.
Formula 1 teams have unanimously agreed to make refinements to the 2026 regulations following a virtual meeting involving the FIA, team principals, power unit manufacturers, and Formula One Management.
These changes will be implemented from the Miami Grand Prix on 3 May, pending approval from the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
The tweaks include adjustments to both qualifying and race rules, such as reducing the permitted recharge rate and increasing the peak super clip power.
The goal is to encourage more flat-out driving and lessen the need for excessive harvesting.
Safety concerns related to race starts will also be addressed with new mechanisms like a low power start detection system and a visual warning system for drivers.
