"Despite a long list of changes emerging from the final meeting between team bosses, the FIA and F1 on Monday, the sport has been keen to stress they only represent minor tweaks to a number of areas rather than a tearing up of the rule book."

Formula 1 has made adjustments to the 2026 regulations following discussions among technical heads, drivers, and team principals.

The modifications are described as minor tweaks rather than a complete overhaul of the regulations.
