Recent FIA Meeting Highlights and Controversies

In a recent FIA meeting, a new cooling system for drivers was approved, especially for races held in extreme temperatures such as Singapore. Although the proposal for air conditioning was rejected, alternatives such as additional cockpit ventilation are expected. Significant changes in the regulations now allow drivers who do not start the race to be replaced by others positioned directly behind them on the grid, resulting in a different race dynamic. Another major decision was the extension of Monaco's contract until 2031, a topic that sparks debate among fans regarding its relevance on the calendar. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed that there will be a rotation of circuits, particularly in Europe, where tracks like Spa and Barcelona could be replaced annually. However, this raises concerns about the exclusion of classic tracks from the season. Lastly, serious accusations arose on the podcast "Formula For Success," where Ed Jordan raised concerns about what he considers deliberate result manipulation to favor drivers like Lando Norris, which, if proven true, could have serious repercussions for the sport.
