The Formula 1 season continues with the Miami Grand Prix, the first race in five weeks. New rules have been introduced to change how cars use their engines and batteries, aiming to improve racing without losing the excitement of overtaking.
Key Facts
Miami Grand Prix is the fourth race of the Formula 1 season and takes place after a five-week break.
New engine and power unit rules were introduced to improve qualifying and reduce dangerous speed differences between cars.
Changes aim to reduce a driving technique called "lift and coast" and a full-throttle battery charging method known as "super-clipping."
These rule tweaks are seen as a first step, with experts saying they improve driving by about 20%.
Further changes involving fuel flow rates are needed for bigger improvements in engine performance.
Drivers like McLaren’s Oscar Piastri feel the changes give them better control over the car’s power.
The changes may be more noticeable to drivers than to the audience, as the style of close racing and overtaking is kept.
Teams design cars to be as fast as possible based on data, not specifically for individual drivers, though cars are adapted during the season.
