Formula One’s controversial five-second pre-start delay is staying for next season, despite safety concerns being solved with new tech. Originally added to help teams like Ferrari get their turbos ready, the blue-light warning has become a ritual — and the FIA says it’s here to stay. While past grid chaos — like cars stuck or near-crashes — is now handled by an automatic “low power start detection” system that nudges slow cars to safety, the FIA sees no reason to scrap the delay. It’s not about fairness anymore — it’s just part of the F1 routine.
