The updated FIA rules for F1 were released on Thursday, so here's a neat summary of what has changed:
Wet races, half points and a new fan engagement activity – the FIA rule changes analysedThe FIA’s revised rules for the F1 World Championship are here and to save you delving through all 112 pages, PlanetF1.com has picked out the major changes.
From points to race structures and even fan commitments, here are all the major sporting regulation changes for the 2023 season.The most logical place to start when picking over the new rules would be to start at the actual organisation of the races with a particular focus on sprints following the rise from three to six events this year.
However if the sprint is suspended then the length of this suspension will be added to the original hour time slot. The maximum time that can be added on is 30 minutes so the longest sprint race possible is one that lasts for 1.5 hours.For both a sprint and a grand prix, if the race is resumed in wet conditions and the race director deems more than one lap behind the Safety Car is necessary, wet-weather tyres are compulsory.
Those criteria are all time related with no points awarded if the leader completes less than two laps, Points Column 1 if between 2 laps and less than 25% of the race has been completed, Points Column 2 if between 25% and less than 50% of the races has been completed and Points Column 3 if between 50% and less than 75% have been completed.
They have however removed a penalty when it comes to cars being moved during a suspended race or sprint. Now if a car is moved from the fast lane to any other part of the pit lane, they will be arranged at the back of the line of cars in the fast lane in the order they got there.
On the first day of track action, 10 drivers must similarity be available for the fan activities in a period that must finish at least 1.5 hours before FP1.
