F1 | The teams ask to postpone the 2021 regulation

Formula 1 could delay the introduction of the new regulations scheduled for 2021 by a year; Nine teams out of the 10 competing in the world championship made this request. In fact, the teams are pushing to maintain the current rules for next season too and postpone the changes to 2022 as due to the suspension of the world championship due to coronavirus, it will not be easy for the teams to face this season, as well as next year with new regulations And new single-seaters.

A reduced racing schedule would mean a sharp drop in revenue for the teams who this week discussed via conference call the possibility of keeping the rules unchanged for another year.

As reported by Auto Motor und Sport, nine of the ten teams supported the idea; only Ferrari has not yet expressed its opinion on the matter, as it has asked for more time to evaluate the situation and the possible consequences.

Another conference call is scheduled for tomorrow, in which Chase Carey, Ross Brawn and FIA president Jean Todt will participate.

If the postponement goes through, it would not only help the teams busy with development work, but it would allow further changes to be agreed upon, as the new Concorde Agreement has yet to be signed.
