FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem announced a rule change for the remainder of the 2026 F1 season due to ‘super clipping’ issues causing electric power drops.
Discussions between the FIA and the sport’s governing body led to the decision, following recent complaints and an on-track crash involving Haas driver Oliver Bearman.
The focus is on addressing ‘super clipping’ to prevent speed discrepancies on the track, with changes made after a meeting on Monday involving all relevant parties.
