How Formula 1 Could Look Like in 2021

FIA and Liberty published more details on their vision for 2021.

The rules for 2021 are progressing. FIA and Formula 1 revealed more details including revised drawings on how they envision the future of Formula 1. We have a list of changes we should be expecting:

The goal for the premier class of motor racing is to have more spectacular races, the cars cooler and more overtaking.

In short, FIA and Liberty have the following goals:

+++ The driver behind should lose only five to ten percent downforce.
+++ The field should get closer together
+++ The cars should look good.
+++ The costs should decrease.
+++ Fair distribution of revenue
+++ Ban on hydraulic trolleys
+++ Uniform gasoline system
+++ Uniform cooling system
+++ Limitation of chassis parts
+++ Prohibition of expensive materials
+++ Less driving aids
+++ Restricting telemetry while driving
+++ Ban on heating
+++ Standard pit stop equipment
+++ Less wind tunnel times and CFD usage
+++ Parc Fermée from Friday to Sunday
+++ Streamlining the weekends with media appointments and later training sessions on Friday
+++ Freezing the transmission development
+++ Unit parts (petrol pumps, brakes, wheel hubs and wheel nuts, steering wheel, steering column, drive shaft, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, DRS mechanics).

The regulations will be presented in October. The drawings are already in their tenth version. Also, the reintroduction of refueling might be on the agenda again.

FIA President Jean Todt: “Personally, I would like to have a nice meal, but I’m happy when a study sheds light on the positive and negative sides.” Background: “The cars have become too heavy, we’ve already discussed that.”
