Ferrari Urges FIA To Set 2035 F1 Rules Now as 2026 Reset Looms

Vasseur argues early decisions are vital to match fast-changing automotive technology.

Overview

  • Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur says Formula 1 should decide its 2035 regulations now, making the appeal in an interview on Bloomberg’s Power Players podcast.
  • Vasseur characterizes the 2026 rules as the biggest change in decades and says Ferrari is starting from a blank sheet across tyres, fuel, engine, chassis and sporting rules.
  • He warns that competitors may pursue very different technical paths and stresses the need to trust internal choices despite limited visibility on rivals’ projects.
  • Despite paddock talk about a return to full ICE concepts such as V10s or V8s, the FIA has confirmed the 2026 regulations will remain in force through the end of 2030.
  • Vasseur indicates he would support adjustments in 2027 if performance gaps prove excessive, framing the reset as both a major risk and a chance for Ferrari to rebuild.
