Formula 1 is holding high-level meetings during the enforced break after the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix to discuss potential midseason changes to the new technical rules introduced this year.
Stakeholders agreed in August 2022 at the FIA World Motor Sport Council to shift power units toward a roughly 50/50 split between internal combustion and electric drive, to drop the MGU‑H, and to move to 100% sustainable fuel. The new power-unit balance and aerodynamic package have produced a more polarised fan response than expected.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali told Motorsport.com that racing should not be conflated with broader mobility policy and that manufacturers' positions have evolved since the Diesel-gate era. Domenicali said manufacturers initially pushed for electrification and influenced F1 policy, but industry trajectories have since shifted.
The meetings involve teams and stakeholders, and no rule changes have yet been announced.
