Hosted by FIA President Jean Todt and FIA Deputy President for Sport Graham Stoker, the World Motor Sport Council gathered today in Geneva for its first meeting of the year.
The following is a summary of the meeting and the main decisions taken for the 2021 Technical and Financial Regulations
A number of updates to the 2021 Technical Regulations were approved, including:
Changes to the front wing profiles to prevent downwash which would have resulted in a severe compromise to the overall objectives to allow cars to race more closely
Front wing endplates, top bodywork and rear wing endplates have been modified to give the teams more commercial space
Drastic improvements to the strength and energy absorption of the chassis in front, lateral and rear impacts.
A number of updates to considerably improve electrical (high voltage) safety on the cars
Tethers will be mandated for rear wing and rear impact structures
Kulite has been appointed as the official supplier for Power Unit pressure and temperature sensors in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Changes to the Financial Regulations for 2021 and beyond will allow monitoring activities to be performed by Cost Cap Administrators at any point in time, remotely or at F1 Teams’ premises.
