That meeting should take place before April 20, GPblog understands. The 22 Formula 1 drivers agree that some adjustments need to be made to the current technical regulations, although opinions differ on what exactly should happen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/f1-drivers\/max-verstappen\" title=\"Max Verstappen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Max Verstappen<\/a> and Lando Norris, for example, are not at all fans of the new Formula 1, in which battery management means you can no longer push flat out.Make GPblog your preferred source on Google and see our content first in <a href=\"https:\/\/profile.google.com\/cp\/EhAKDnd3dy5ncGJsb2cuY29tGmNodHRwczovL3d3dy5ncGJsb2cuY29tL25sL25pZXV3cy9rcml0aWVrLW9wLW1jbGFyZW4ta2FtcGlvZW4tbWFhci1nZWVuLWthbXBpb2Vuc2NoYXBzd2FhcmRpZy1nZWRyYWciBkdQYmxvZyquARKrAWh0dHBzOi8vZW5jcnlwdGVkLXRibjEuZ3N0YXRpYy5jb20vZmF2aWNvbi10Ym4_cT10Ym4lM0FBTmQ5R2NTOEpGSWpGcWJyRUNRNVF3TWN3STYxVVZmV1k3X0J4X1VEUXNRdXduQk9FRG1uRmpYUUdyeG8tTnNWUzRvbXFLT00wUXI4am5qRXNHYmdRaG5yX1NDb3l5S19peG9CYUJKdWlRbVZ5dk8xdENDWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google Discover<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEV2R3WW14dlp5NWpiMjB2Wlc0b0FBUAE?hl=en-AU&amp;gl=AU&amp;ceid=AU%3Aen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google News.<\/a>Decisions to be made quickly<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/exclusive-news\/bad-news-for-verstappen-and-norris-this-was-discussed-by-the-fia-and-the-f1-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The FIA and the teams\u2019 technical personnel met virtually last Thursday to discuss potential short-term changes<\/a>. The aim is for the team principals to make decisions on April 20, after which the resolutions must be ratified by the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC).Before the team principals meet, the FIA intends to first discuss the findings of the latest technical meeting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/f1\" title=\"F1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">F1<\/a> drivers. With no Grands Prix in these weeks, that consultation will logically take place online.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen and other critics will thus have another opportunity to voice their issues and propose their own amendments to the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, this will not be the first time the drivers are listened to. In recent months, their input has regularly been taken into account, this website understands.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to or watch the GPblog.com video podcast.
