“2021 permits the cars to be 6kg heavier, and we have an additional few kilos to spend as a result of DAS being banned. “Our other aerodynamic work has been the normal fare of seeking out aerodynamic opportunity across every square centimetre of the car with particular attention to finding places where we can invest extra weight into fancier aerodynamic geometry,” James added. The significant aerodynamic changes to the floor and adapting to the carryover rules have kept the team busy, but there are opportunities for improvement in many areas of the car, and our engineers have been working tirelessly to find an edge. With the specific permission of the FIA, you can make changes for reliability or cost saving, but if part of your car isn’t performing well, then you are stuck with it for the whole season.”

Once the racing gets underway, pretty much everything under the skin of the car must then be frozen for the entire year. We have spent our tokens, but we won’t reveal how we used them just yet. “In addition, there are some parts of the car that you can change token-free, for example the Power Unit, the cooling systems, the suspension and of course all of the aerodynamic surfaces. How teams decided what to use their tokens on was entirely up to them. Along with the tokens comes a shopping list showing how many tokens are required for each change. “The rules freeze a large chunk of the car, but then give each team two tokens to spend on changing their car. “What’s carried over will look different from team to team, because the rules didn’t require you to carry over the same things,” explained James Allison. In some ways, this has lessened the peak of work required for the new car, but it’s also produced its own new challenges and difficulties. The 2021 regulations have been a truly collaborative effort, and I believe this to be a great achievement.The aerodynamic changes have been a key focus in the development of the W12, but some of the parts on our new car are identical to the W11 owing to the new carryover rules. “It is a major change in how the pinnacle of motor sports will be run, and for the first time, we have addressed the technical, sporting and financial aspects all at once. We have always been at the leading edge of the automobile industry and we believe we can play a leadership role on this critical issue, as well.”Ĭarey’s words were echoed by FIA President Jean Todt: “After more than two years of intense research and development, of close collaboration with our partners at Formula 1, and with the support of the teams and drivers, circuit designers, the single tyre supplier, Pirelli and all F1 stakeholders, the FIA is proud to publish today the set of regulations that will define the future of Formula 1 from 2021 onwards. We already have the most efficient engine in the world and in the next few weeks we will be launching plans to reduce and ultimately eliminate environmental impact of our sport and business.
“One of the most important initiatives we will be addressing as we go forward is the environmental impact of our sport. READ MORE: 10 ways the 2021 rules will improve F1

These regulations are an important and major step, however, this is an ongoing process and we will continue to improve these regulations and take further steps to enable our sport to grow and achieve its full potential. “We made many changes during the process as we received input by the teams and other stakeholders and we firmly believe we achieved the goals we had set out to deliver. The new rules have emerged from a detailed two-year process of examining technical, sporting, and financial issues in order to develop a package of regulations. “The approval of the rules by the World Motor Sport Council is a watershed moment and will help deliver more exciting wheel-to-wheel racing for all our fans. The goal has always been to improve the competition and action on the track and at the same time make the sport a healthier and attractive business for all. “We deeply respect the DNA of Formula 1, which is a combination of great sporting competition, uniquely talented and courageous drivers, dedicated teams and cutting-edge technology. “Formula 1 is an incredible sport with a great history, heroes and fans all over the world,” said Chase Carey, Chairman and CEO, Formula 1.

The regulations, which were unanimously approved, will be married to a new governance and prize fund structure that will enable the sport to grow and improve while further strengthening the business model.
