Confirmed: FIA approves following changes to 2024 F1 sporting regulations. Here is the list of changes accepted by the International Federation.

The FIA has approved some changes to be made to the 2024 sporting regulations. Let’s discover them together.

The details
Here is the list of changes accepted by the International Federation:

1. The “ATA” format (hard tires in Q1, mediums in Q2, and softs in Q3) will not be used. Therefore, teams will have 13 sets of tires available during race weekends, and 12 for the Sprints.
2. The number of engine components that teams can use will be further reduced. Only 3 combustion engines will be allowed instead of 4, as well as for the MGU-H, MGU-K, and turbochargers. If this number is exceeded, the driver will receive a grid penalty.
3. The championship registration fee will increase. The total to be paid by each team amounts to a fixed base of €603,000, with a supplement of €7,230 for each point obtained in 2023.
4. The duration of preseason testing will be 30 minutes for each day.
5. Pirelli will be able to schedule up to 40 test days for the cars in 2024, instead of the 35 planned in 2023.
6. The FIA will have the right to schedule up to 4 additional test days with the aim of finding a solution to the high amount of water that single-seaters raise in wet conditions.
7. Teams can complete 200 km, instead of 100 km, in promotional events (classic filming days).
8. Teams will have 4 exceptions to work on the car before free practice: 2 in the period from 42 to 29 hours before FP1 and 2 for the phase from 18 to 4 hours before FP1. Exceptions can be used throughout the year, similar to exceeding the curfew.
9. Cars will no longer be covered or sealed by the FIA after Free Practice 2.
10. The FIA will inspect, at the end of the sessions, “some cars,” but without providing further details. Until 2023, the Federation selected “at least three cars” for technical checks after qualifying or the Sprint.
11. The pit lane will be open for a shorter period before the start of the race. The opening duration will be reduced from 50 to 40 minutes.
12. Teams cannot work on the 2026 cars until January 2, 2025. Until that date, they can only intervene on the braking system.
