F1 tightens up jump start rules: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-tightens-up-jump-start-rules/10605302/

"... Previously, jump starts were judged entirely on whether or not the FIA-supplied sensors fitted to cars had picked up movement before the start signal was given.

However, there had been some occasions when cars had appeared to not be stationary prior to the race starting but were not punished because the sensors gave them the all-clear. The most recent famous example of this was Lando Norris at this year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, who moved forward briefly before stopping ahead of the lights going out. Although his actions were investigated by the stewards, it was decided that, since the sensor had not detected anything untoward, then there were no grounds to sanction him.

Following discussions among sporting directors and team bosses at last week's F1 Commission meeting, it has now been agreed that the regulations will be tightened up with immediate effect. A revised Article 48 of F1’s Sporting Regulations has been labelled “False Start” and lays out how rule breaches will now be judged. The wording that previously stated jump starts would be determined by the findings of the transponder has been removed.

Instead, a revised 48.1 a) of the Sporting Regulations states that an offence will be deemed to have taken place if a driver is judged to have: “moved after the four (4) second light is illuminated and before the start signal is given by extinguishing all red lights.” ...


Returning intermediate tyres
The revised sporting regulations that have been published by the FIA have also included a clause aimed at encouraging teams to use intermediate tyres in rain-hit practice sessions.

At the Japanese Grand Prix last month, a flaw in the current wet tyre rules meant that teams almost all steered clear of running in the rain-hit second free practice session because they did not want to burn through sets of inters that they may have needed later in the weekend. This was a consequence of F1 removing a regulation that handed teams an extra set of inters that had to be returned to the FIA in the event of wet weather impacting practice.

While there is no return to teams being handed a completely free set of tyres, a tweak to the regulations does now state that if a practice session is declared wet, then one set of intermediates needs to be handed back before qualifying. ..."

"The Team announces that Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey will leave the Red Bull Technology Group in the first quarter of 2025.

The engineering supremo will step back from Formula 1
design duties to focus on final development and delivery of Red Bull’s first hypercar, the hugely anticipated RB17.

He will remain involved in and committed to this exciting project until its completion. We’d like to thank Adrian for our achievements in the time that we have worked together so far. He has been instrumental for us in achieving a remarkable seven Formula One Drivers’ and six Constructors’ Championship titles - totalling 118 victories and 101 poles including the STR 2007 pole and victory.

I wonder if the hypercar completion was in exchange for no gardening leave?

So he’s wussing out from F1?
 
Kinda bummed they got replaced the Ferrari signage in the rear wing with the HP logo. And that livery looks meh. Quite bland considering the hype around it.
