David Croft pede que a FIA ajuste as regras da F1 de 2026 antes de Silverstone

O comentarista de Fórmula 1 da Sky Sports, David Croft, pediu à FIA que ajuste os regulamentos de 2026 antes do Grande Prêmio da Grã-Bretanha em Silverstone. Ele expressou preocupações de que as limitações das baterias possam arruinar curvas icônicas como Maggotts e Becketts. As regras estão sob revisão durante uma pausa em abril, após reclamações de equipes e pilotos.

David Croft expressou sua esperança por mudanças durante uma aparição no programa Sky Sports F1 Show. Ele destacou preocupações sobre o desempenho das baterias em sustentar corridas em ritmo máximo durante uma volta completa e toda a distância do Grande Prêmio. Croft quer especificamente ajustes a tempo para Silverstone, a fim de preservar as seções desafiadoras da pista. "Eu gostaria de acreditar que acertaremos antes de Silverstone, porque o que eu não quero ver é as grandes curvas Maggotts e Becketts sofrerem por causa desses novos regulamentos, onde elas deixam de ser curvas de verdade", disse Croft. As preocupações surgiram após incidentes como a batida em alta velocidade do piloto da Haas, Ollie Bearman, no Grande Prêmio do Japão. Bearman perdeu o controle após desviar da Alpine de Franco Colapinto, que estava recuperando energia naquele momento. Este exemplo destacou problemas na distribuição de energia sob as novas regras. Croft prevê que Silverstone evidenciará ainda mais esses problemas, especialmente na classificação. Ele questionou os fãs: se eles aceitariam tempos de volta dois segundos mais lentos para enfatizar os motores de combustão interna e permitir que os pilotos corram no limite.

Formula 1 drivers expressed widespread frustration with qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix after the 2026 power unit regulations forced energy-saving tactics that punished aggressive driving. Pushing harder in corners led to slower straights due to earlier battery charging, as highlighted by several top drivers. The FIA adjusted the energy limit to 8 megajoules for Suzuka, but calls for further changes persist ahead of talks before the Miami Grand Prix.

Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson stated that Formula 1 drivers tend to complain about everything, including the divisive 2026 regulations that introduced smaller, lighter cars with greater emphasis on electrical energy. He acknowledged valid safety concerns following Oliver Bearman’s high-speed crash at Suzuka while expressing hope for performance improvements through upcoming upgrades. The FIA reported constructive talks on potential changes after discussions with F1 and engine manufacturers.

The FIA, teams, and Formula 1 have agreed on tweaks to energy management rules ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, aiming to improve qualifying performance and safety. The changes, finalized on Monday, increase super clipping limits and reduce harvesting caps following concerns raised after Oliver Bearman's crash in Suzuka. FIA single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis described the adjustments as an evolution rather than a revolution.

Formula 1 has introduced changes to its 2026 power unit regulations in response to 'yo-yo racing,' a back-and-forth style of battling driven by battery energy management. The tweaks, effective for this weekend's Miami Grand Prix, reduce qualifying energy harvesting and increase super clipping power. Drivers remain divided on whether the new rules improve racing.
