No revolution in F1 before 2017
The meeting, held in Geneva this Tuesday with Formula 1's governing bodies and team representatives, did not lead to radical decisions regarding the short-term future of the discipline.
According to *Autosport*, the meeting held in Geneva this Tuesday between the governing bodies and the representatives of the Formula 1 teams did not result in profound changes for the future of the sport.
Several points were under consideration concerning a deep technical restructuring of Formula 1, which could have taken place as early as 2016. Aerodynamic changes, different engine units, larger tire sizes were, among other things, part of the avenues explored to enhance the spectacle and make driving the single-seaters more challenging.
According to Autosport, the teams apparently did not manage to come to an agreement and would have preferred to have more time to consider the various changes that could be made. The anticipated revolution in Formula 1 will therefore not take place until at least 2017.
Yesterday, on the sidelines of the meeting, Ferrari presented a concept single-seater, developed by its design office based on what the new technical regulations could have been. It is known that Ferrari, like Niki Lauda, the non-executive director of Mercedes, would be in favor of a change in engine regulations, particularly with regard to the displacement, as V6 engines are not unanimously accepted.
The debate will surely continue throughout the season, and this first meeting in Geneva is just a first step towards a profound restructuring of the discipline that seems to be reaching its limits today, both technically and financially.
