The FIA Formula 1 Committee met, where, among other topics, the number of pre-season testing days was drastically affected.
One of the results of the survey is that they have given up the idea of organizing a race for rookies during testing. At least for a while… They have ordered a number of small technical and aerodynamic clarifications related to 2026 and the big rule change package, but what is much more spectacular is the increase in the number of test days.
In recent years, both drivers and teams have complained a lot, and they have now tried to take this into account, so in 2026, in view of the new era, the field will have 9 days to prepare for the season. This will most likely happen in Bahrain or Barcelona.
