The general producer of Match TV, Alexander Tashchin, spoke about the decision of the leadership of the WWE wrestling organization and Formula 1 to terminate contracts with the TV channel for display in Russia.
What agreements have been terminated? There were only two of them. WWE wrestling tournaments sent an email notification – and they had such a right by contract. Both Formula 1 and there, partly on a formal basis: there were nuances with payment – F 1 lacked the necessary documents, and they tried to use non-payment as a reason to exit the deal, which we disputed.
Then they decided to leave Russia altogether: the cancellation of the Grand Prix in Sochi, the break in relations with the promoter, Rosgonki. And there, the sanctions in England arrived in time – this, in fact, became the main reason for terminating the contract. With the rest, the agreements have only been suspended, – Taschin quotes the “Championship”.

The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.
In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.
According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.
— The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA said in a statement.
The FIA does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.
