On April 9, changes to the regulations will be discussed in Formula 1.

      Next week, a key meeting will take place to discuss possible changes to the Formula 1 regulations. According to The Race, the meeting, which will involve representatives from Formula 1, the FIA, teams, and power unit manufacturers, is scheduled for April 9.

      The agenda for the meeting includes three key issues – safety, qualifying, and loss of speed at the end of straights due to battery discharge.

      The issue of safety has come to the forefront following Oliver Berman's crash in Suzuka, where he experienced a peak load of 50g at the moment of impact with the barrier.

      Regarding qualifying, drivers have expressed dissatisfaction that due to energy management features, they can no longer drive at full power on a fast lap, so there is no longer a need to push to the limit during the battle for pole position.

      According to The Race, six possible solutions to the problems are currently being considered. These include increasing the superclipping threshold, slowing down the cars, limiting the amount of recoverable energy, revising active aerodynamics rules, changes to engine designs, and overall simplification of the regulations. The main question is how far the FIA, teams, and power unit manufacturers are willing to go in adjusting the regulations.

      According to another publication, Racingnews365, several more meetings are planned during the April break, where stakeholders will focus primarily on the technical aspects of the 2026 regulations.

      At the same time, any changes to the regulations need to be approved within a relatively short timeframe, as the next Formula 1 event is scheduled for May 3 and will take place in Miami.
