A 'dry run' will take place in 2020 when the teams will be audited, but there will be no penalties for going over the $175 limit until 2021.Certain aspects of team expenditure will not be covered by the cost cap, including marketing costs, driver salaries, heritage asset costs, year-end bonuses, depreciation and amortization, non-F1 activities, entry fee costs and the three highest paid people in the team. "But we don't think that is the key parameter of the spectacle, we feel that the raceability is the main target. Formula One racing is one of the most predictable sports in the world. Presented at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin by Formula 1 Chairman and CEO Chase Carey and FIA President Jean Todt, following ratification by the World Motor Sport Council, the regulations are targeted at promoting closer racing and more balanced competition, as well as bringing economic and sporting sustainability to Formula 1. He doesn't know when that will be, but until then, he’s committed to expressing his love for KITT, and all cars for that matter, here at TopSpeed. Is … Worse, a chasing car loses downforce when turbulent air hits it, making it difficult to overtake the car in front, at least if the opportunity arises. So even if the road to more exciting racing can go through wingless race cars, it’s not something that Formula One is even considering. As expected, there will be a cost cap implemented for the 2021 season of $175 million, with an additional $1 million added every time a new race is added to the calendar.F1 racing chief Ross Brawn promised any team breaking those rules will faces the harshest penalties possible -- "If you fraudulently breach the financial regulations, you will be losing your championship".It is hoped a cost cap will help F1 achieve the stated aim of keeping the competitive order close together by restricting the wealthier teams of simply out-developing its rivals.
That’s why when you see the difference between the current F1 cars and the proposed racers that will be used in 2021, even the smallest of details come with significant real-world results.Formula One unveiled the first prototype of the proposed 2021 racers, and to the surprise of absolutely no one, it comes in the form of a scale model that’s being used in wind tunnel testing.Take the wheels, for example. 2021 F1 car will be futuristic but slower Billed as ‘futuristic’, Formula 1 will move towards a new ground effect design in 2021 which, at least the bosses hope, will make for better racing. "But even the car that has been developed with CFD and the wind tunnel [by F1] has got a respectable amount of performance and it has been developed by essentially a relatively small number of aerodynamicists and hours in a wind tunnel compared to a normal team.
But with the 2021 car design, this drops to around 5-10%, with airflow coming off the new cars both cleaner and directed higher, meaning it has significantly less impact on drivers following, giving them the chance not just to overtake, but to battle.For the first time ever, Formula 1 will introduce spending restrictions to make the sport fairer and more sustainable. It’s also proposed that the wheel rims will be fitted with a rotating LED … The change wasn’t done for vanity’s sake; there are a lot of aerodynamic roots to the changes, most of which are focused on making it easier for cars to overtake during races.

There are also new winglets mounted above each of the front wheels and, if you look close enough, you’ll also notice that the Halo safety system is less of an eyesore than what it looks like in today’s F1 cars.
The exterior was created with groundbreaking aerodynamics in mind, and Lambo says that it has higher downforce levels than a GT3-spec car with up to 2,600 pounds at 155 mph… "We are expecting cars to be approximately between 3.0 and 3.5 seconds slower per lap," Tombazis said. Simulations suggest the cars will be approximately 3.5 seconds slower as a result, bringing the cars in line with 2016 lap times, before the wider-body, aero-heavy 2017 regulations were introduced.
For the first time, we're able to see what the 2021 F1 cars will look like.

2021 F1 Car - Current vs. 2021 Airflow Comparison The 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale price tag will undoubtedly be sky-high . Tyre blankets, meanwhile, will not be scrapped as once proposed, instead remaining for 2021 and 2022, albeit with restrictions.There will also be small but significant changes to the race weekend structure, which will be condensed, in order to improve the fan experience and help teams deal with an expanded calendar, with the maximum number of races in a season now 25.The pre-race press conference will be switched from Thursday to Friday, ahead of the first and second practice sessions, while cars will now be in parc ferme conditions (i.e.
