FIA changes swearing rules as Horner spots major F1 concern – RacingNews365 Review
The FIA has amended a contentious rule in the International Sporting Code that now grants them authority to impose heavy penalties on drivers who breach regulations. This includes fines, race bans, or a loss of championship points. Christian Horner predicts a significant financial burden on F1 teams due to the new weight limit for the 2026 season, which requires cars to weigh 724kg plus tyre mass. Jacques Villeneuve believes Lando Norris is faltering in the F1 title fight against Oscar Piastri, stating that his performance has “collapsed” while Piastri has remained composed. McLaren’s innovative brake design, particularly its effectiveness in managing tyre degradation, has drawn scrutiny from rivals like Red Bull, sparking debates on its legality. Kimi Antonelli defends Max Verstappen, highlighting that perceptions of the Red Bull driver are often misguided and underscoring his positive attributes off the track.
