Calendar changes

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

The technical regulations are the subject of an extensive overhaul proposal for the 2017 season, with proposals put forward in 2015 with a view to dramatically cut lap times and allowing cars to race closer together, as well as increasing fan appeal.[27] An initial series of changes have been put forward by Formula One Strategy Group but have yet to be accepted by the FIA, including:

  • Aerodynamic changes for increased downforce.[27]
  • Wider tyres for increased grip.[27]
  • Reduction of minimum car weight for increased bhp/kg ratio.[27]
  • Reintroduction of refueling, last seen at the Formula One level in 2009.[27]
  • More aggressive bodywork.[27]
  • Engine and fuel regulation changes for higher RPM and increased noise.[27]

Tyre entries

In May 2015, Formula One opened a tender for tyre manufacturers to become the sole supplier from 2017 to 2019,[28][29] with previous suppliers Pirelli and Michelin submitting bids.[30]
