Formula 1 drivers call Miami rule tweaks a step forward — but not nearly enough

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Formula 1 drivers expressed mixed but largely critical views on newly updated technical regulations, with Aston Martin's Lance Stroll stating the sport is 'still far away from proper F1 cars.' The rule changes, developed during an unusual five-week April break caused by the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian GPs due to the Iran War, shift the power split to roughly 50/50 between electrical energy and internal combustion engines. The tweaks were partly prompted by safety concerns following Ollie Bearman's 50G-force crash at Suzuka, though drivers acknowledge the updates are a step in the right direction but insufficient.
