F1 Set to Decide on Rule Changes as Stakeholders Meet

Formula 1 stakeholders are gathering to discuss potential tweaks to the regulations following a series of talks across the sport. The meeting aims to decide on changes to address driver concerns and improve racing. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem described the discussions as 'constructive and collaborative,' and thanked drivers for providing input on adjustments to ensure safe and competitive racing. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff cautioned that changes should be made with precision, saying 'we should act with a scalpel, not a baseball bat.' Wolff emphasized the importance of collective responsibility among stakeholders to improve the sport while maintaining its integrity. Mercedes driver George Russell highlighted key areas for improvement, including flat-out qualifying and reducing closing speeds. Russell believes that some obvious improvements can be made in the short term, such as increasing the permitted rate of battery harvesting. The F1 season resumes with the Miami Grand Prix, and stakeholders are working together to find solutions to enhance the sport.
