F1 Commission, interventions for 2027: the testing days will be 4

F1 Commission, what emerges from the London meeting The second annual meeting of the F1 Commission was held in London. The meeting took place in the FIA ​​offices in the English capital and was led by Nikolas Tombazis and Stefano Domenicali. The F1 president and the FIA ​​single-seater director coordinated discussions on some regulatory aspects in view of the 2027 season. Solutions emerged which will then be officially ratified by the World Motor Sport Council. The most relevant point, at least from a calendar point of view, concerns the pre-season tests. In fact, a proposal has been approved which provides for an increase in the number of testing days before the start of the championship, which will go from three to four, thus offering the teams greater opportunities for preparation and development of the new single-seaters. The six days of this winter (plus the three shakedowns at Montmeló) were in fact an exception due to the arrival of the new generation of cars; the “three days” should have returned as early as 2027, but the choice of the F1 Commission goes against the trend of recent years and will give more space to drivers and teams. Among the topics addressed, the F1 Commission discussed some updates relating to the 2027 technical and sporting regulations. In particular, an agreement was reached on limited changes regarding aerodynamic components and parts of the car bodywork. The F1 Commission has also agreed changes to old car testing (TPC) rules, introducing restrictions on where testing takes place. In particular, restrictions will be placed on the use of circuits intended to host a championship race in the following year.
