The changes in sporting regulations aim to address jump starts and prevent teams from missing practice sessions due to wet weather conditions. Lando Norris was not penalized in Saudi Arabia for jumping the start because the FIA transponder in his car did not detect any movement. A new rule has been implemented by the FIA for the Miami Grand Prix allowing stewards to penalize jump starts even if the transponders fail to pick up movement. The revised rule states that a driver will be penalized for a jump start if they move after the four-second light is illuminated but before all red lights are extinguished. Additionally, a new rule encourages teams to actively run in rainy practice sessions by returning one set of intermediate tires within two hours after the end of the session. The recent wet FP2 session in Japan, where only nine drivers posted lap times, led to criticism from various parties, including F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali.
