The FIA has announced two changes to the 2025 F1 rules.
The tweaks were unveiled following the latest meeting of the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council in Rwanda, ahead of Friday’s end-of-season awards ceremony.
The wing was seen flexing at high speed on television coverage during the Baku weekend. Despite it passing all of the FIA’s deformation tests, McLaren made modifications. “At all points along the span, the rear wing profiles must have a minimum gap of between 9.4mm and 13mm. This will apply when the DRS is not in the state of deployment and will be measured with a spherical gauge.”The FIA also revealed that new “heat hazard” regulations will be declared when temperatures exceed over 30.5C.
Several drivers required medical attention for either dehydration or heat exhaustion. Esteban Ocon revealed he had thrown up in his helmet amid the high temperatures and humidity.
