Overview
- The commission left any move to require two pit-stops unresolved, committing to continue discussions during the 2026 season.
- Representatives approved a minimum 55% painted or stickered livery surface for 2026 to reduce bare carbon and improve car differentiation.
- A proposal allowing drivers to change their permanent career numbers was agreed in principle, with formal approval still required by the World Motor Sport Council.
- Updates to Aerodynamic Testing Restrictions are being developed to align with current simulation capabilities while controlling costs.
- Options debated as alternatives to a blanket two-stop included tyre specification changes, stint or tyre-life limits, and mandating use of all three dry compounds, as teams, drivers and Pirelli warned a mandate could homogenize strategy.
