With F1 testing a new low-power start detection system, Nikolas Tombazis has made it clear that if teams try to use the system for an advantage, the FIA will intervene. The system is designed to prevent dangerously slow starts, not create a loophole for anyone clever enough to game it. That matters because the 2026 rules have already created huge questions around power deployment, slow starts, and whether some teams could find grey areas before the FIA fully understands the consequences. Miami is not just another race weekend — it could be the first real stress test of the new regulation era. Ferrari also arrive in Miami with serious belief behind their upgrade package. Staff reportedly believe the changes can alter the direction of their 2026 season, and with Lewis Hamilton still looking for a major Ferrari breakthrough, this is exactly the kind of weekend where expectations can explode. At Mercedes, George Russell has rejected David Coulthard’s advice that he needs to get tougher in the title fight with Kimi Antonelli. Russell instead pointed to Lewis Hamilton as the model, saying Hamilton won in a fair and dignified way. But with Antonelli already leading the championship by nine points, Mercedes may soon discover whether clean racing is enough when both drivers want the same title. McLaren are another team trying to reset their season in Miami. Andrea Stella has confirmed the team have addressed the issue that was stopping them winning in 2026, which makes their Miami package one of the most important upgrades on the grid. And Aston Martin have gone down a fascinating technical road, with Adrian Newey’s car reportedly using a suspension concept linked back to the Michael Schumacher Ferrari era. That is either classic Newey genius — or a sign of just how different Aston Martin are willing to be.
