Team Changes

edit
  • A couple of teams have revealed they do not have a contract to race in F1 in 2021, including Mercedes[8] & Renault[3].
  • At the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix, the teams revealed to Ross Brawn that they wanted a 24 car grid for 2021, but Brawn wasn't convinced on expansion stating "I think with the 10 teams we have, 10 healthy teams in Formula 1 is actually enough"[9]. Brawn had earlier stated that any new teams would need to wait until 2022[10].
  • In August 2019, a new team called Panthera Team Asia F1 announced its intentions to enter the sport in 2021[11].

Technical and Regulation changes

edit

F1 plans to finalise the rules for 2021 in October 2019. The current proposals for the 2021 technical and regulation changes are[12][13]:

  • More Raceable Cars:
    • Ground Effects to make a return since the early 1980s to help cars follow each other closer
    • Tyre diamter to increase from 13 inch to 18 inch
    • Tyre blankets to be outlawed
    • Pirelli to make tyres that do not degrade, so drivers can push in races
  • More Competitive Grids:
    • The removal of some driver aids
    • The reduction of pit-to-car telemetry
    • The driver has a more prodimant role in managing car issue like overheating and tyre wear
  • A financially viable championship:
    • A budget cap of $175 million[14]
    • Standardisation of parts, including:
      • Wheel rims
      • Brakes
      • Radiators
      • Pit equipment
    • A frozen specification of gearbox parameters
    • A restriction on the use of certain exotic materials
    • A ban on hydraulic suspension systems
