FIA drops plan to reduce downforce in 2014 | 2014 F1 season

Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, Hungaroring, 2012The FIA has announced a series of changes to its proposed 2014 regulations.

F1 cars will retain their 2012-style aerodynamic packages, the FIA confirmed: 'Changes made to bodywork design, originally aimed at reducing downforce and drag for increased efficiency, have reverted to 2012 specification.'

The FIA has also amended the proposed rules for the new V6 turbo engines with energy recovery systems 'with the aim of limiting technology in some areas in order to reduce development costs'.

A plan to make F1 cars run on electric power only when in the pits has been postponed from 2014 to 2017.

The minimum weight limit, which is already being increased for 2013, will be raised further in 2014 'to compensate for additional power unit weight'.
