Formula 1's key stakeholders meet Monday to discuss potential tweaks to the 2026 regulations after driver criticism and Oliver Bearman's crash at the Japanese Grand Prix. These discussions follow planned reviews of F1's all-new chassis and engine rules featuring a near-50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power. The talks come as F1 prepares for its return at the Miami Grand Prix next week.

Focus centers on energy management requirements, particularly after concerns raised about qualifying at Suzuka and safety implications. Mercedes' George Russell emphasized two key issues: flat-out qualifying and reducing closing speeds. Russell suggested technical solutions like increasing the permitted battery harvesting rate during full throttle, noting "the minus 350 kilowatts super clip is a no-brainer" that would improve driving experience.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem characterized talks as "constructive and collaborative," while McLaren's Andrea Stella observed a "sense of responsibility and spirit of collaboration" among all parties. The meeting aims to finalize adjustments for World Motor Sport Council approval before the season's second sprint weekend in Miami, where these potential changes will be immediately tested on track.
