The FIA has officially implemented a new regulation for the Spanish Grand Prix, following growing concerns raised by drivers most notably Lewis Hamilton regarding safety and performance conditions. The move comes after Hamilton’s vocal demand for an “urgent change” during and after the recent race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Hamilton, who now races for Ferrari, highlighted several issues during the Grand Prix weekend, including tire degradation, track temperatures, and the need for better race management under specific conditions. His messages over team radio and post-race comments drew attention to what he described as “avoidable risks” that impact both driver safety and racing quality.
In response, the FIA conducted a swift review and confirmed the introduction of a mandatory regulation aimed at addressing these concerns. While the full details of the rule have not been disclosed, sources suggest it involves new guidelines on tire allocation and temperature monitoring to ensure more stable race conditions.
An FIA spokesperson stated, “Driver safety and fair competition remain our top priorities. Based on recent feedback, including that from Lewis Hamilton, we have made changes that will take effect immediately.”
Hamilton welcomed the decision, calling it “a step in the right direction for the sport.” Other drivers have also expressed support, noting that their voices are being heard more clearly by the governing body.
The update marks a significant moment in the ongoing collaboration between drivers and the FIA to improve conditions across all Formula 1 circuits.
