Formula 1 has tightened power‑unit rules for the Miami Grand Prix, targeting the “lift and coast” style that critics say dulls qualifying.

Laurent Mekies said the changes smooth power delivery and curb extreme closing speeds, moving the sport 20 % toward a more natural, on‑the‑limit feel. Drivers like Oscar Piastri expect tighter boost control.

The revisions will reduce the “super‑clipping” effect and keep overtaking opportunities high, but the dramatic shift fans seek remains distant. Teams will still rely on driver‑in‑the‑loop simulators to fine‑tune cars before the track.

Ultimately, Miami’s rule tweak signals a gradual return to traditional racing dynamics, though a full overhaul of the fuel‑flow split will be required to match historic performance levels.
