Who decides F1 rules?

The rules for Formula 1 are set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the sport's governing body, in collaboration with F1 itself and the teams. They oversee everything from technical specifications, like race distances and fuel limits, to sporting regulations. This ensures fair competition and the sport's safety and evolution, as seen with the 2027 changes.
