Calendar changes

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

There are proposals to overhaul the technical regulations extensively for the 2017 season, with the aim of increasing the speed of the cars by up to five seconds, allowing cars to race closer together, and increasing fan entertainment.[34][35] An initial series of changes were put forward in 2015 by the Formula One Strategy Group,[N 1] but have yet to be accepted or rejected by the FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC), including:

  • Aerodynamic changes and reintroduction of ground effect cars for increased downforce and easier overtaking opportunities.[34][35]
  • Wider tyres for increased grip.[34]
  • Reduction of minimum car weight for increased power-to-weight ratio.[34]

Tyre supplier

In May 2015, Formula One opened a tender for tyre manufacturers to become the sole supplier from 2017 to 2019,[37][38] with Pirelli and Michelin submitting bids.[39] A recommendation is expected by Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone for final approval by the WMSC on 30 September 2015.[40]
