“Get Ready for 2024 F1: 8 Key Rule Changes Cover Everything from Power Units to Promotions”

1 years ago By Sports Desk

The Formula 1 landscape is shaping up for the 2024 season with significant rule changes, from powertrain use to promotions. Let’s take a look at the 8 main changes that are set to shake up the world of F1.

1. Period of review:

One area that can often cause controversy is the right to review. Parties now have just 4 days to appeal the decision, with the possibility of an extension of 24 hours in special circumstances. The introduction of a bond to be returned only in case of success or if the FIA deems it justified in case of unsuccessful petitions adds a new dimension to the appeals process.

2. Increased potential fines:

Teams and drivers now face higher fines for infractions, with the maximum cap increased to an impressive €1 million. The aim of this change is to introduce stricter penalties to ensure compliance with the standards

3. Tighter Powertrain Rules:

Following the extended 2023 season, teams now revert to the previous limit of three components per powertrain, optimizing the balance between performance and reliability.

4. Expanded Promotions:

Promotions gained importance in 2024, allowing teams to cover a distance of 200 km and providing better opportunities for pre-season testing and filming.

5. CHANGES TO CLASSIC VEHICLE TESTING:

With the inclusion of 2022 vehicles in the Classic Car Testing Program, all components are now required to be officially tested on older vehicles prior to approval. The goal is to prevent untested components from affecting current vehicle development.

6. Increased Capital Expenditure Cap:

With the introduction of the spending cap, teams now have a larger margin for capital expenditure over four years to improve their facilities and remain competitive.

7. The roll bar requirements are stricter: In response to Zhou Guanyu’s serious accident in 2022, the roll bar requirements have been tightened. Now it must withstand more stringent stress tests, aimed at increasing robustness in the event of a similar accident.

8. **Wheel Display Plans Shelved:** The original idea to include rotating wheel displays was pushed back to 2024. Although this has been pulled, it is an area that may return in the future.

With all these changes, the 2024 season promises to be exciting and challenging. Increased penalties, inflexibility in powertrain rules and increased opportunities for promotions are some of the aspects that fans can expect as the teams take to the track. Now all that remains is a final decision on the sprint format, a chapter still waiting to be defined and could bring even more excitement as the season progresses.
