In this video, John The Motorsports Enthusiast breaks down every single regulation change coming into effect from the Miami Grand Prix onwards… what changed, why the FIA made the call, and what it’s actually going to mean on track.
After a five-week break, F1 didn’t just come back… it came back with a different rulebook. He walks through all three main changes: the super clipping increase from 250kW to the maximum 350kW, the qualifying harvest limit being cut from 8 megajoules to 7, and the new race start safety system being trialled this weekend in Miami for the first time.
He also gets into why this happened at all, from the unnatural lift-and-coast driving we saw in Australia, China, and Japan, to Oliver Bearman’s 50G crash at Suzuka that pushed the FIA to act fast. And he gives his honest take on whether any of this actually fixes what people have been complaining about, or whether the real changes are still a 2027 conversation. If you want to understand what you’re watching this weekend, this is the video.
