2019 technical changes a "halfway house" for the 2021 revolution

FIA’s Nikolas Tombazis admits the 2019 rule changes will be a “halfway house” between those coming for 2021. These could include changes to front wings, front brake ducts with wider, larger rear wings.

Most of the changes coming in are aimed at increasing the number of overtakes seen during an F1 race. Overtaking was a huge issue in Melbourne, but has since been partly boiled down.

Ross Brawn, the FIA and the sport’s management team are working closely to form the future rules.

“These regulations for 2019 where an extract of some of the lessons learned already at Formula 1,” Tombazis said.

These rule changes for 2019 have experienced a stir from teams and drivers. This is because they’re likely to come with a hefty price tag.
