Formula 1 regulations: That will change in 2018

Cologne (SID) After the aerodynamics and tire revolution a year ago, there will be little change in the regulations in the 1 Formula 2018 season, which begins on March 25th in Melbourne (7.10:XNUMX a.m. CEST/RTL). The most striking innovation is the mandatory introduction of the Halo cockpit protection. The most important changes to the technical and sporting regulations at a glance: - Mandatory introduction of the Halo, a 7kg titanium cockpit protector. As a result, the minimum weight of the cars was increased by 5 kg to 733 kg. However, the halo also comes with structural reinforcements, which, depending on the car, add up to at least another three kg. - Only three drive units may be used per car throughout the season without penalty; in 2017 there were four. - Ban on the conspicuous fins on the engine cover and the so-called monkey seat above the exhaust pipes. - Standard tire manufacturer Pirelli is offering seven compounds for dry conditions in 2018, two more than last year. The “Hypersoft” and the “Superhard” are new, which expands the range at the top and bottom. With the Full Wet for extremely wet conditions and the Intermediate for mixed conditions, Pirelli has nine tire compounds. - The start times of the 21 races have been changed. In 2018, instead of on the hour, the traffic lights turn green at ten o'clock. In most European races, the start is pushed back by 70 minutes to 15.10:XNUMX p.m. local time.
