As soon as the Hungary GP was finished, members of different departments of the Escuderías entered their recess.l. Other sectors will only cut Friday. During the two weeks of vacation the teams cannot do any type of work on current cars or advance in the 2026 project. The technical, engineers and mechanical departments will not be able to perform any task and this is supervised by the FIA, the supervisory entity, which has the power to strongly sanction the team that breaches this standard.

The FIA can ask for evidence to the shields that demonstrate that the plant is closed, such as email communications and even the time of the computers lit. The technical work goes out directly: the wind tunnel, the simulators or the tasks on CFD cannot be in office.
