Technical Regulations

The minimum driver weight allowance increases from 80 kg to 82 kg, and the car's minimum weight (without fuel) rises from 798 kg to 800 kg.

A cooling kit will be mandatory in extreme heat (temperatures over 30.5C), increasing the car's minimum weight by 5 kg.

The gap in the rear wing slot will decrease, and there will be stricter rules for DRS modes. Deflection tests on the rear wing will start from the first race, and front wing tests will begin at the Spanish Grand Prix.

No limit on the number of gearboxes teams can use due to improved reliability of current designs.

Sporting Regulations

The point for setting the fastest lap will be abolished.

The requirement to field a young driver during free practice increases to twice per season per car.

Restrictions on testing previous cars will be tightened, limiting tests to 1,000 km over four days, and prohibiting testing at certain tracks.

If qualifying is canceled, the starting grid will be determined by the drivers' championship standings, or at the stewards' discretion if those standings can't be applied.

The final grid will now be determined one hour before the race, with cars withdrawn up to 75 minutes before the start not included.

A two-stop strategy will be mandatory in Monaco, with at least three sets of tyres used, and a minimum of two different compounds for dry races.
