Formula 1 postpones rule revolution until 2022

The decision was made in a telephone conference with the teams, Formula 1 bosses Chase Carey and Ross Brawn and FIA President Jean Todt. The new regulations should therefore be introduced in 2022. The reason given was the “volatile financial situation” due to the pandemic. Ferrari was the last team to speak out in favor of the postponement, after the Scuderia had previously asked for time to think about it. Team boss Mattia Binotto (50) had already pleaded for a postponement. “We have to carefully consider whether it might make more sense” to wait until 2022 to introduce the new cars, Binotto said before the conference call formula1.com . Formula 1 had actually already decided on comprehensive new regulations for 2021. This should increase equal opportunities and lead to more excitement on the route. Basically, the cars should be significantly simplified technically. The new plan calls for freezing the current regulations for 2021. The development of the new cars for 2022 should take place below the cost limit of 175 million dollars (around 157 million euros). The corona pandemic is currently shaking up the Formula 1 calendar. The first seven races of the season have already been canceled and the season will not start until June 7th in Azerbaijan at the earliest. Never before has a season started later. Most recently, the FIA, the world automobile association, moved the summer break forward, thereby creating the opportunity to rearrange the calendar. Accordingly, the summer break originally planned for July and August will be brought forward to March and April and also extended from 14 to 21 days.
