The scheduling was timed so that sufficient technical data could be gathered in advance of any discussions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As part of the round of collaborative discussions, further meetings are planned over the coming fortnight. There is a Sporting Regulations meeting on April 15 during which any changes in Section B that are required to facilitate the technical changes will be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next technical session will be on April 16 during which points discussed today will be followed up and new topics will be given exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A high-level meeting with representation from all stakeholders is scheduled for April 20 where it is anticipated that preferred options jointly proposed by the technical teams will be considered and a consensus sought on the way forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 2026 regulations were developed and agreed in close partnership with teams, OEMs, Power Unit Manufacturers, the commercial rights holder and the FIA all at the table. It is in this spirit of collaboration that potential changes are being discussed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any changes to the regulations will be subject to the FIA WMSC approval process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-f986aa64aed5f64cf3037ee993b7e7cf71ec61216a1606a1e0cc8d2d287cd4fd\">  F1 world champion\u2019s daughter makes her racing debut this weekend   Why Lance Stroll thinks winning is possible on his GT racing debut <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block block-echobox\">\n<h2>Subscribe to our F1 Newsletter<\/h2>\n<div class=\"info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-info\" id=\"edit-info--2\">\n<p>Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"extra-info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-legal\" id=\"edit-legal--2\">\n<p>For more information see our Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;http:\/\/crash.net\/f1\/news\/1092950\/1\/revealed-what-happened-first-f1-rule-change-meeting&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/2026-04\/a260634_medium.jpg?width=1600&amp;aspect_ratio=16:9&#8243;] Revealed: What happened in first F1 rule change meeting The FIA has revealed what went down in the first meeting about F1 rule tweaks for 2026.
