F1 agrees rules overhaul for Miami
The FIA has confirmed that it will use a 'scalpel rather than a baseball bat' to refine the 2026 technical regulations.
The changes focus on how cars utilize electrical power to ensure qualifying remains 'flat out' and overtaking is less prone to high-speed speed differentials.
Mercedes principal Toto Wolff expressed confidence that the tweaks will address stakeholders' safety concerns without compromising the sport's skill-based nature.
This intervention comes after polarising feedback during the opening rounds of the current campaign.
