FORMULA 1’S REVOLUTION FOR 2021 IS GO
Formula 1’s 2021 regulations, which aim to both dramatically improve the spectacle and create a shake-up in the established order, were finally unveiled on 31 October. The new technical, sporting and financial rules were approved by the FIA’s World Motor Sport council on the eve of the US Grand Prix. The threat of a Ferrari veto on the new regulations was avoided when it voted in favour at the FIA meeting.
“It’s a major change in how the pinnacle of motor sports will be run,” said the FIA president Jean Todt. “For the first time, we have addressed the technical, sporting and financial aspects all at once. The goal is to have a closer championship and to be more unpredictable on the track.”
Reduced aerodynamics aim to improve overtaking, but cars will be heavier, slower and will retain the same 1.6-litre V6 hybrid power units.
