Martin Brundle says Miami GP tweaks could “relaunch” 2026 F1 season
Martin Brundle believes recent regulation tweaks for the Miami Grand Prix could effectively relaunch the 2026 F1 season by improving racing quality, though he acknowledges further changes may be necessary. The modifications come after a five-week break and early-season feedback, with teams introducing significant car updates. Brundle expects the changes to smooth power delivery and enhance safety, particularly around start procedures and speed differentials. He notes that while improvements are likely, unintended consequences are inevitable in complex F1 systems.
