Overview
- The FIA, Formula 1 Group and all 11 teams signed the ninth Concorde Governance Agreement in Tashkent, locking rules and participation through 2030 and confirming grid stability including the Cadillac entry.
- A reworked entry-fee model will increase payments from FOM and teams to the FIA, with funds earmarked for governance upgrades such as stewarding and marshalling, though allocations and timelines are still being defined.
- Stakeholders are pushing for permanent, paid race stewards following contentious 2025 penalties, but the structure and rollout of such roles have not been finalized.
- Provisional 2026 regulations require every car to display the FIA logo on the nose with a minimum 75mm height and defined placement for visibility.
- Reporting indicates possible changes to F1 Commission voting thresholds that could shift influence toward the FIA, with exact rules pending further agreement.
