FIA Hails 'Invaluable Input' From Drivers Ahead of F1 Rules Meeting
The governing body said drivers helped shape proposed changes to energy management and safety after a 50G crash in Japan last month.
- On Monday, Formula One's governing body, the International Automobile Federation , meets with team principals to propose rule changes incorporating 'invaluable input' from drivers on energy management and safety.
- FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem reported 'constructive and collaborative discussion' on Sunday, while Mercedes driver George Russell, a Grand Prix Drivers' Association director, said the relationship is 'probably the closest' in years.
- Safety concerns intensified after Haas driver Oliver Bearman crashed in Japan last month with a 50G impact, prompting drivers to complain about easing off throttle early to recharge batteries.
- Russell identified two headline points for adjustments: implementing flat-out qualifying to eliminate lift and coast, and reducing closing speeds to ensure safe, fair, and competitive racing.
- Following Monday's meeting, the FIA World Motor Sport Council will conduct an e-Vote to determine if these adjustments are officially adopted for Formula One.
