Formula 1's team principals have concluded that qualifying requires urgent review following the Australian and Chinese Grand Prix weekends, despite praising the races' on-track action and public reception. The meeting determined races are currently not a cause for concern, but identified significant criticism surrounding the 'lift and coast' technique used by drivers during their fastest laps. Teams and drivers will collaborate on solutions to eliminate the need for this management, with the FIA tasked with developing measures to be presented later.

Therefore, no regulatory changes will impact the upcoming Suzuka Grand Prix, as the calendar break provides time for assessment without haste. Suzuka will proceed under the current regulations.
