The FIA are committed to tweaking some of the energy management regulations, following the first of a series of meetings with technical experts from the Teams and Power Unit Manufacturers.

Reviews of the new regulations after three races had been planned before the season got under way, but with a batch of fresh driver criticisms and Ollie Bearman's crash in Suzuka, the meetings' need were only highlighted.

The next meeting is set to take place on April 15, during which any changes in section B that are required to facilitate the technical changes will be discussed., before a 'high-level' meeting scheduled for April 20.

"It was generally agreed that although the events to date have provided exciting racing, there was a commitment to making tweaks to some aspects of the regulations in the area of energy management," the FIA said in a statement.

"There was constructive dialogue on difficult topics especially when considering the competitive nature of the stakeholders."

Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz have been particularly vocal about their disapproval, with the four-time world champion claiming he is considering leaving the sport.

Sainz, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, revealed that the drivers held a meeting with the FIA in Suzuka where single-seater director Nicolas Tombazis said changes would be made for the next round in Miami in early May.

"I was so surprised when they said 'we will sort out qualifying and leave the racing alone because it's exciting'. As drivers, we have been extremely vocal that the problem is not only qualifying, but also racing," Sainz said.

"We have been warning this kind of accident will always happen. In Suzuka, we were lucky there was an escape road. Imagine going to Baku or Singapore, or Las Vegas and having these kind of closing speeds.

"As the GPDA, we have warned the FIA these accidents will happen a lot with this set of regulations and we need to change something soon if we don't want it to happen.

"I hope it serves as an example and the teams listen to the drivers and not so much to the teams and some people that said 'the racing is OK', because the racing is not OK."

Sky Sports News understands that there will be a full-scale meeting later in April featuring FOM - F1's commercial rights holder, the FIA - the sport's governing body, and representatives for the teams and drivers.

While the sport's bosses are undoubtedly keen to satisfy the concerns of drivers, there also appears to be contentment at the reception the opening races have received from fans.

Any tweaks after this month's meetings would then likely be introduced from the next race in Miami.
