The World Council approved amendments to the regulations.

      At the meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Macau, amendments to the Formula 1 regulations were officially approved. In particular, a warning about hot weather can now be issued separately for the sprint and the main race, but still 24 hours before the scheduled start time. This warning requires drivers to either wear cooling vests or add ballast of equivalent weight. Earlier this year, the FIA banned the use of Boost Mode in conditions of poor grip on the asphalt, on wet tracks, or in poor visibility after discussions that a sudden increase in torque could threaten safety. Now, the Boost mode is partially allowed, but only to compensate for power loss when cars slow down on straights, without actually increasing power, which should further reduce closing speeds in poor visibility conditions. The overtaking mode is disabled in such conditions. In 2027, the duration of preseason testing will increase from three to four days due to the high complexity of the cars. The World Council approved the first draft of the technical regulations for the 2027 season, including a "broad set of structural, wording, and targeted updates that enhance the clarity, consistency, and applicability of the regulations based on the experience of 2026." The Council officially approved the proposed changes to the power distribution between the internal combustion engine and electric motors. In 2026, it will be 50/50%, in 2027 the ratio will be 58/42%, and in 2028 – 60/40%. Issues related to power unit supply, race distances at specific tracks, and changes to the financial regulations related to amendments to the technical and sporting regulations in the 2027 and 2028 seasons have been agreed upon. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA President: "The Federation continues to oversee the work on the 2026 regulations, closely collaborating with all stakeholders. As always in the case of significant changes, the process does not end with the first outing of the cars on the track. Continuous dialogue and cooperation are needed to ensure that the rules meet the needs of the sport, drivers, and fans. Together, we are exploring the direction of the championship's development, considering how the sport can balance innovation, sustainability, performance, and appeal to fans in the coming years. Discussions on the concepts of future power units, including V8 engines on eco-friendly fuel, demonstrate the willingness of the parties to participate in shaping the next stage of the development of this sport."
