F1 is bringing sexy back in 2021

The F1 scene will see a momentous change come 2021 with new regulations and completely redesigned cars. Let us take a brief walk through the changes. Most noticeable change would be the departure to a more fluidic design that seamlessly blends the halo crash protection bar. The wheels get upsized to 18-inch with lower profile tyres, increasing sidewall stiffness.
