The FIA's published lists of updated regulations for F1 2026 have closed the door on McLaren's 'mini-DRS' ever reappearing...
The FIA has tweaked the wording of the F1 2025 regulations, outlawing the circumstances that allowed for McLaren’s controversial ‘mini-DRS’ rear wing.
While flexibility tests won’t change for F1 2025, the FIA has outlined wording changes in the regulations aimed at closing any particular grey areas allowing for unforeseen flexing in rear wings. The rules pertaining to the DRS have also been tightened up under Article 3.10.10, with an exact definition of deployment offered as meaning DRS usage starts when “the adjustment of the DRS bodywork away from its original geometry has been commanded by direct driver input and controlled using the control electronics, and ending when the DRS bodywork has been returned to that same original geometry, having been disabled by the control electronics.
The final meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in 2026 also signed off on further revisions to the F1 2026 aerodynamic regulations, pertaining to the active aerodynamics which will be introduced on the new chassis.
