F1’s governing body is to introduce a fourth strand to the rulebook, covering Net Zero and sustainability.
The FIA plans to introduce a fourth branch of regulations in Formula 1 by 2026, focusing on achieving Net Zero and sustainability goals by 2030. This new branch will address the medium and long-term objectives of F1 in terms of reducing carbon emissions. The FIA believes that enshrining these targets within the regulations is necessary to ensure compliance from all teams, rather than relying on voluntary efforts. They have already begun discussions with teams to determine the best strategy and structure for these regulations, including limits on CO2 emissions, materials usage, and travel. While some traditional fans may not agree, the FIA considers this a crucial step to ensure the sport’s future health and responsibility. The first set of regulations will be implemented by 2026, with a larger impact expected by 2030.
