SOON ANTI-COPY REGULATIONS THE TEAMS NEED TO DESIGN THEIR OWN F1

The FIA has moved to announce that it is clamping down on how much teams can copy or clone from a rival’s F1 car design from 2021 onwards.

Soon Anti-Copy regulations The Teams need to design their Own Formula 1 Car – Racing Point were open in admitting they took inspiration from last year’s all conquering Mercedes when designing their RP20 machine, insisting what they’d done was within the regulations.

FIA President Jean Todt hopes that this will appease the teams in the Racing Point case. This is not enough for the opponents, because Racing Point is allowed to continue driving the car in its current form and only receives warnings.

Racing Point has caused a lot of commotion with their copy of the Mercedes. Which way does Formula 1 want to go? Can this copying be done more often in the future or do teams have to continue to design their own car? Jean Todt explains.

During the Formula 1 season in 2020, it has become increasingly clear that Racing Point has copied the 2019 Mercedes. Not only from photographs, but also from data made available by Mercedes. This must not happen in the future and the FIA and Formula 1 are working on a solution for the future.

”We want to address the concerns of some teams about Formula 1 copying. F1 is all about each team being a manufacturer and being responsible for the design of the car. If we need to be a little more precise in the wording, we will do so”, said the President of the FIA to Motorsport-total.

Racing Point already has a fine in its pocket, but with current investigations the team may be even more overlooked. F1 is also working on a solution for the future. ”We are currently working on that and hopefully the teams will be satisfied with the new rules. We’ll see what happens”, concludes Todt, who can’t give any further details about the current investigation.
