2026 regulations discussed in latest F1 commission meeting

The F1 Commission recently convened to finalize refinements for the 2026 regulations, submitting proposals on technical, sporting, financial, and operational rules to the World Motor Sport Council. Key discussions included a potential mandatory two-pit-stop rule and tyre adjustments, though a decision was deferred until after the initial 2026 races. Significant changes approved involve a minimum 55% livery coverage to enhance car differentiation, preventing excessive bare carbon fibre. Additionally, drivers will now be permitted to change their permanent competition numbers during their careers. The commission also explored mandating and redesigning the Driving Cooling System for improved driver safety and comfort.
