The future of Formula 1

If there’s a sport that is hard to comprehend for ‘occasional supporters’ that is Formula 1. In fact, the most important category of motorsport has made technology its core increasingly over the years, making the engineering, strategies, and regulations harder and harder to understand, especially for the less assiduous supporters. But there’s a thing that you don’t need an F1 degree to understand: aesthetic. And that’s the very direction that Liberty Media - F1 owners - have chosen when it started to project the cars of the future.

After some leaks in the last days, the F1 social profiles have shared a series of artwork of the cars that we should see on the track from 2021. That will be an important year for the motorsport category, as the actual regulations will ‘expire’ and a new era of Formula 1 will begin. And so will the cars that, has confirmed by boss Ross Brown, “we wanted to be great.” So, other than some changes regarding aerodynamic and downforce, F1 thought about how to have “great looking cars. We want cars that look better than what you see in a video game, cars that kids want to have up on their walls.”

“Why shouldn’t we have great looking cars as we’re evolving the cars?”, said Brown. “We want a car that is inspiring. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and the car should look sensational.” We won’t spend a minute to explain this artwork to you - just check the F1 website for that - but at least you can have an idea of what’s expects us in the years to come. Are we the only ones thrilled to see 2021?
