Overview
- FIA officials outlined a stopgap package for the Miami Grand Prix that still needs World Motor Sport Council approval.
- Key tweaks cut maximum battery recharge from 8 MJ to 7 MJ and raise the Superclip overtake boost (the driver’s push-to-pass) to 350 kW to shorten its use and smooth power delivery.
- Race use will limit the Boost button to an extra 150 kW, with the MGU-K electric motor capped at 350 kW on corner exit and 250 kW in other phases, and the alternate-energy limits expand to 12 events.
- Safety steps include a start system that detects a car bogging down and unlocks extra energy to get it moving, plus visual warnings and hotter tire blankets for intermediate rain tires to reduce cold-tire risks.
- The Miami sprint weekend runs May 1–3 with a single practice before the sprint, and teams arrive with updates as Ferrari readies a package, McLaren plans upgrades, and Honda hosts Aston Martin in Sakura to tackle reliability.
