The 2021 regulations promised to be the biggest technical overhaul in the sport's history. The rules were set to completely change the look of the cars and in doing so rethink the way downforce is created to make wheel-to-wheel racing easier. Tied into the new rules were cost-saving measures and standardised parts that aimed to create a level playing field and a new era of F1.
But given the extensive disruption the coronavirus pandemic has caused to F1's 2020 season (not to mention the wider world), it's easy to understand why such a major project has been delayed 12 months. The cost, man-hours and production capability required to make sure an all-new car designed to all-new regulations was delivered on time was already looking like a stretch for some of F1's smaller teams, but following the coronavirus disruption it was verging on the impossible.
