The 2026 F1 season is inching ever closer, but some late changes are still being made to the technical rules.
The FIA has tightened regulations to block potential exploitation in Formula 1’s 2026 power unit rules, highlighting manufacturers’ ongoing scrutiny. Teams were exploring grey areas in fuel-flow meter manipulation, prompting the governing body to tighten restrictions on temperature control. Changes now forbid any device, system, or procedure aimed at altering the meter’s temperature. The shift aims to prevent loopholes for manipulating meter temperatures, crucial in the switch to sustainable fuels for 2026. While not proof of active pursuit, the move displays the FIA’s resolve to pre-empt exploitation in the sport.
