The FIA has made changes ahead of the Miami Grand Prix following a meeting between the FIA and Formula One Management (FOM) earlier this month.
The regulatory changes aim to enhance the racing experience by increasing overtakes and closer racing between cars.
Changes include decreasing the maximum engine output from 8MJ to 7MJ and reducing the amount of recharge that can be stored to encourage drivers to push the limits more in qualifying.
Despite discussions on more drastic measures, such as allowing more gasoline power, a super-majority vote from power unit manufacturers was needed, which was not achieved.
FIA technical director Jan Monchaux explained that the self-interests of power unit manufacturers prevented implementing further changes for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
