FIA Turmoil: Wittich and Basarri Out due to Leadership Drama

The FIA has announced a range of updates to the Formula 1 rulebook across Sporting, Technical, Financial, and newly introduced Operational Regulations. These changes, approved by the World Motor Sport Council, are aimed at improving driver safety, enhancing inclusivity, refining technical frameworks, and supporting sustainability goals.


1. Heat Hazard Regulations

In response to concerns raised at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix, the FIA has finalized rules requiring a driver cooling kit to be used in extreme weather conditions. This measure aims to combat heat exhaustion, which has previously forced drivers like Logan Sargeant to withdraw mid-race.


2. Gender-Neutral Language

In a move towards inclusivity, F1 will adopt gender-neutral language in all official documentation. For example:

  • Previous: “The stewards may disqualify him from the race.”
  • New: “The stewards may disqualify the driver from the race.”

This change aligns F1 with similar updates made to Formula 2 and Formula 3 regulations.


3. 2026 Technical Regulation Refinements

The FIA has further refined the 2026 Technical Regulations, enabling teams to start work on aerodynamics from January 1, 2025. These changes are part of F1’s transition to more sustainable and efficient technologies, including increased electrification and the use of 100% sustainable fuels.


4. Expanded Financial Regulations

To support F1’s Carbon Net-Zero by 2030 initiative, the cost cap will exclude expenses related to Sustainability Initiatives starting in 2025. This adjustment encourages teams to invest in environmentally friendly technologies and practices without compromising their competitive budgets.


5. Introduction of Operational Regulations

The newly introduced Operational Regulations will govern team activities outside of race weekends. Key elements include:

  • Aerodynamic and power unit testing limitations.
  • Mandatory shutdown periods for team operations.
  • Transfer of certain rules previously under Sporting Regulations to streamline governance.

6. Recognition of a Successful 2024 Season

The FIA celebrated the productivity of the single-seater pyramid, which saw four drivers graduate from Formula 2 to F1 for the 2025 season. The organization also reflected on the successes of the longest F1 season to date, emphasizing the sport’s growing global footprint.


Looking Ahead

These updates underscore F1’s commitment to driver safety, sustainability, inclusivity, and operational efficiency as the sport evolves. With the 2025 season fast approaching, these measures are set to shape a new era in Formula 1.
