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].
