We call for changes to the Formula 1 regulations so that real racing comes first again. Drivers should not be forced, or strategically pushed, to slow down artificially on straights or during battles just to recover energy. Formula 1 must once again stand for attacking, defending, and maximum performance.

Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. Fans expect the fastest drivers, the best cars, and racing at the absolute limit.

However, under the current and upcoming hybrid and energy-management regulations, an increasing problem is becoming clear: in certain phases of a race, cars and drivers are required to reduce performance or adapt their driving in ways that allow them to recover energy. While this may make technical sense, it harms the very core of what fans understand as real racing.

When a driver cannot keep attacking at full pace on a straight or in a direct wheel-to-wheel battle because the system requires energy saving or recovery, the quality of the sport suffers. Racing should not be defined by cars having to become deliberately slower in order to regain performance later.

We therefore call for:

1. Regulation changes that prevent cars from having to artificially reduce speed because of energy management when they should be racing, defending, or attacking at full pace.
2. A ruleset that rewards consistent performance and direct on-track battles more than excessive energy saving.
3. Technical regulations designed to improve racing, close following, and wheel-to-wheel action.
4. Greater transparency for fans about which rule mechanisms directly cause drivers to stop pushing at the limit.
    

Formula 1 should remain technologically advanced, but racing must not suffer because of energy algorithms. Efficiency matters. Real motorsport matters more.

We call on the FIA and Formula 1 to revise the regulations so that driving at the limit and direct racing battles once again take center stage.

Give Formula 1 back its true identity: flat-out racing, real battles, and no artificial slowing.
