FIA Announces 2020 & 2021 F1 Council Decisions
The FIA Council approved a number of changes to the 2020 F1 Technical and Sporting Regulations, including:
- Wording relating to the sampling and testing of fuel at the events to incorporate reference declarations
- The reinstatement of the chequered flag as the definitive end-of-race signal
- Wording to prevent teams from covering their cars during winter testing, in order to make these events more appealing to the media and fans
- Minor corrections and adjustments to articles in both sets of Regulations
The Council confirmed the appointment of BBS as the single supplier of wheel rims starting in 2021, following its pre-selection on 5 July 2019. A consultation phase with the teams and BBS was conducted under the arbitration of the FIA Technical Department, with some resultant minor changes to the initial specification being approved today.
Following the pre-selection of Magneti Marelli for the fuel primer pump, and of Bosch for the high pressure fuel pump and piping by the Council on 30 July 2019, a phase of consultation with the teams, Power Unit manufacturers and the two prospective suppliers was conducted under the arbitration of the FIA Technical Department. Today, the Council proceeded to final appointment of the two suppliers.
