Formula 1 provide update ahead of crunch meeting with teams as the sport faces criticism

As this website previously reported, a first meeting of the technical representatives of the teams will take place tomorrow.

Minor changes are likely to be discussed during the meeting, which includes qualifying, energy deployment on the formation lap and safety concerns due to closing speeds, among other aspects.

However, GPblog understands that Formula 1 is pleased with the current product, as fans polled have judged racing more positively compared to the situation a year ago.

A total of three meetings are set to take place over the next three weeks due to the gap in the schedule, which has allowed for a review of the opening three races in which the new regulations were tested.

There is provision the sport can change elements of the rulebook, providing the teams, the FIA, and F1 can all agree on the alterations. The three rounds of talks will feature team bosses, the FIA and F1 officials as well as technical delegates to identify if improvements can be made but the news for F1 is that they are happy with the current product.

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said that at the Japanese that drivers are powerless in shaping the rules amid widespread opinions of the regulations. He said: "The drivers don't have a say, they don't have any power. No power on the... we're not the committee, we have no voting rights. So..."

Lando Norris also explained that there is no point of voicing his opinion as long as the fans enjoy the show, while Max Verstappen was also very critical of the current generation of F1 cars, saying the series has become like 'Mario Kart' and has reduced his love of the sport.

While the drivers don't have a seat at the table, GPblog understands that their views will also be represented at the meetings as they have provided their feedback to the driver body, the Grand Prix Drivers' Association.
