The innovations will be fully implemented after a couple of races.
Nicholas Tombazis, the FIA director for single-seater racing, commented on the adjustments made to the World Championship regulations, specifically addressing the start procedure. According to him, Formula 1 will begin testing innovations in Miami, but it will take a few races before they are fully implemented.
Nicholas Tombazis: "It's quite difficult to start well in these cars, partly because it's necessary to achieve the optimal boost pressure provided by the power unit's turbo at the moment the traffic lights go out. This could lead to dangerous situations, and we've already seen one or two examples of poor starts.
Starting from the next race, we will be testing some innovations. It will likely take two or three races before they are fully introduced. In Miami and Canada, we will conduct certain tests and make adjustments. But everything we plan to do is aimed at improving safety.
If the system detects that a car has had a very poor start, the electric part of the power unit will engage to ensure that the car safely moves off the line, which will help avoid issues with cars starting behind.
A number of other small changes are also being introduced – all of them relate to the sensations that the driver experiences while driving and the car's handling. In qualifying, this will help drivers focus solely on driving and achieving the highest possible speeds, as that's what everyone wants to see."
