Formula 1 team Williams Racing may miss the first block of pre-season testing, which will be held in closed format in Barcelona from January 26-30. This was due to problems with the new car during mandatory safety checks.
According to journalist Jorge Peiro, the Grove team recently failed a crash test, without which it was impossible to participate in the tests. In his opinion, the situation has either not changed at all or progress has been minimal since the receipt of this information.
The crash test failure is forcing Williams to urgently improve its chassis design, which could significantly impact the season’s preparation programme. Under the new technical regulations of 2026, testing every day is critical to collect data and tune the machine.
Williams Racing risks entering the pre-season program seriously behind its rivals unless the team quickly fixes the problems and fails FIA inspection again.

On Thursday 22 January, Formula 1 manufacturers and FIA technical experts held a meeting to measure engine compression when operating at high temperatures.
The debate was sparked by discussions about the potential use of the 16:1 limit, which was introduced for the 2026 season but has only been officially tested at room temperature.
Mercedes and Red Bull’s rivals Ferrari, Audi and Honda have expressed doubts about the legality of solutions that allow these teams to gain additional horsepower by increasing the compression ratio to 1:16 when starting the engine on the track. The FIA held a meeting to agree on future measurement procedures and determine how the new procedures could be implemented without breaching the regulations.
As a result of the discussion, the parties agreed on the methodology, but its implementation will not be immediate. The next step will be to consult with manufacturer executives on possible changes to Formula 1’s technical rules, which may not come into force until 2027.
The rules have not changed and Mercedes and Red Bull still maintain their advantage on the track. Team officials believe that the new measurements will only be valid after an official vote by the F1 Commission and that no changes are expected in the short term.
Therefore, rivals of Mercedes and Red Bull are forced to accept the advantage these teams will gain on the track.
