During the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, the F1 Commission decided to delay work on the next generation of cars until 2025. The updated sporting regulations now prohibit teams from conducting wind tunnel or CFD work on the ’26 cars until January 1, 2025. While the technical rules will remain stable for the next two seasons, there will be extensive regulations overhaul for the chassis and engine in 2026. To prevent any team from gaining an early advantage, the FIA has imposed restrictions that mandate work on the new-spec cars only one year before their introduction. The regulations also include changes such as reducing the notification period for a standing restart, reducing the pitlane opening time, and selecting specific cars for legality checks after qualifying sessions. The Alternative Tyre Allocation trial has been removed from the sporting regulations, but the number of allocated tire sets per driver remains the same. The FIA has also increased the allocated days for Pirelli to test tires and granted four additional days of testing to reduce spray in wet weather conditions.
