The Latest Breaking News from FIA

The Red Bull driver secured pole position during a frenetic qualifying session at the Red Bull Ring, which was overshadowed by a spate of track limit penalties.

As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier, F1 teams have been asking the FIA to conduct a more thorough analysis of the impact of the new 2026 cars and engines amid concerns about how they will perform on track.

As F1 gears up for an overhaul of both the power unit and chassis regulations, concerns have emerged about the potential of a negative impact on the spectacle if elements of the new package do not work as hoped.

The Briton believes the FIA should deny teams the chance to develop next season’s machine until a specific start date.

Norris was penalised in Montreal for slowing down too much behind the safety car from the hairpin to the pitlane, thereby purposefully opening up a gap to team-mate Oscar Piastri so McLaren could perform a double pitstop without Norris risking losing a position to Charles Leclerc.

Mercedes driver Hamilton wants the FIA to step in to prevent Red Bull launching an era of F1 dominance – but that demand did not go down particularly well with rival Verstappen

The idea was logical that if there was less disturbed air thrown up by cars then this should allow some closer racing.
