- Formula One bosses have agreed to implement immediate rule changes following significant pressure from drivers and fans, notably four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
- The adjustments, described as tweaks rather than wholesale reforms, are set to debut at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix on 3 May.
- Key modifications include reducing energy harvesting from eight to seven megajoules and increasing the hybrid power unit’s output from 250kw to 350kw to allow drivers to push harder.
- Safety concerns, partly highlighted by British driver Ollie Bearman’s 191mph crash, led to the boost button being capped at 150kw and MGU-K settings being adjusted.
- Further discussions are anticipated after the Miami race, as F1 chiefs acknowledge these initial changes may not fully address all driver concerns.
