This is expected to benefit younger drivers like Kimi Antonelli.Alonso acknowledged that while some tweaks were necessary after three races, this is only a first step: I think some tweaks were needed after the first three races, and this is the first step.My personal opinion? I think we all have a different one, but maybe we needed more, maybe they are not enough.Lewis Hamilton finds little difference after testing F1s latest rule changes on Ferrari simulatorSeven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was also asked for his thoughts inside the media pen on Thursday.

Im honestly not sure how big a step its going to be, I dont know, he said.Well find out whether its big enough or not. Weve obviously tried it on the sim, and it feels pretty similar to me.Read more:Ted Kravitz impressed by Red Bulls Macarena rear wing despite team downplayingF1 fans warming to polarising Lance Stroll amid ongoing criticism of the 2026 regulationsCarlos Sainz explains why the 2026 F1 regulations have become one of his favourites
