Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane argues Formula 1 must test energy‑management changes in a rolling fashion, citing the new sprint format.

Permane stresses that the FIA, the 11 teams and power‑unit partners will vote on solutions after a high‑level meeting on Monday, with the first roll‑out possible by the Miami Grand Prix.

He notes sprint weekends, like Miami and Montreal, leave little room for extensive testing, suggesting simpler tweaks first before tackling more complex adjustments at Barcelona.

The focus remains on keeping closing speeds safe after Oliver Bearman’s 50G incident while preserving qualifying excitement, with careful oversight to avoid unintended slowdowns in high‑speed corners.
