Technical and Regulation changes
[edit]- The FIA announced in May 2019 that a raft of clutch management changes were coming into force for 2020, increasing the difficulty of the race start for drivers. Pull-type paddle-activated clutches will be mandatory for each driver, with any team wishing to use more than one will have to them independent of each other[10].
- Changes to stop the effect oil burning will be brought in, with the definition of a "Auxiliary Fuel Tank" being added and only one can be in each car[10].
- Rear-view mirrors will be restricted to prevent any aerodynamic gain from them, and will be placed 30mm closer to the survival cell, and 40mm down[10].
Calendar
[edit]The following eighteen Grands Prix are under contract to be held as part of the 2020 World Championship. Each race is to run over 305 km (189.5 mi) plus one additional lap; the only exception is the Monaco Grand Prix, which is run to a distance of 270 km (167.8 mi) plus an additional lap.
Calendar Changes
[edit]- Liberty Media signed their first new race – the Vietnamese Grand Prix[14] – eventually agreeing to stage the race around a new street circuit around the capital of Hanoi[15].
- In April 2019, it was revealed that negotiations were under to revive the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, a Grand Prix that could replace the Spanish Grand Prix as the first race in Europe[31].
