The FIA have made a number of tweaks and changes to t♍he rules for 2023.
Technical changes
After porpoising dominated the headlines in 2022, the FIA have made fu🐼rther changes to help era🎃dicate the phenomenon.
F1’s minimu🍸m ride heights have been raised by 15mm, while the diffuser throat has also been raised to accommodate the aforementioned change🐠.
There will be new sensors installed to measure the car’s vertical forces accurately - something that🐬 was initially introduced at the Belgian Grand Prix.
The minimum weight of the cars has d🔯ropped by 2kg from 798kg t🅠o 796kg.
Roll hoops have been strengthened following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu’s horrific crash at Silverstone.
Grid penalties
After the enormous amount of confus🐓ion surrounding back-of-the-grid pe♚nalties in F1, the FIA have clarified to make it less complicated.
Drivers who 🌟receive “more than 15 cumulative grid position penalties, or who have been penalised to start at the back of the grid, will start behind any other classifꦗied driver.”
Tyres in qualifying
F1 will be experimenting with tyres in ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚqualifying.
For two events, all drivers will be required to use just hard tyres in Q1, mediums in Q2 and softs in Q3꧋.
Pirelli boss Mario Isola believes it’s more sustainable for the tyre manufactuꦕrer.
"We got the proposal for next year,” Isola said. “It is my favourite scenario. We are talking about durability. Current🎉ly with the current regulations, you have to be careful with the Soft tyre for qualifying and you can't use it for the race.
𒁏“If you allocate two sets of Hards for Q1, two sets of Mediums for Q2 and two se🌳ts of Softs for Q3, you still have six sets for the race. That's perfect. We save a lot of tyres with that, without disrupting the F1 show."
More sprint races
The amount of sprint races for 2023 has doubled.
There will be si༒x sprint weeജkends: Azerbaijan, Austria, Belgium, Qatar, USA and Brazil.

Changes to the mirrors
As F1 ꦐlooks to improve visibility, changes have been made to the rear-view mirrors.
The width of 🐼the reflective surface has increased by 50mm from 150mm to 200mmജ.
Work hours reduced
The number of hours worked by F1 team personnel across grand p💮rix race weekends will be reduced over the next two seasons.
The t🎃hird of three restricted periods (on Fridays) will start an hour earlier in 2023, with another hour set to be taken off for 2024.
Finally, the number of curfews allowed for the f✅irst Wednesday and second Thursday will also be cut in half - again, in a bid to reduce work hours in the paddock.
Gearboxes
F1 has tightened up its rules su💝rrounding gearbox modificat𝔍ions.
Changes are now only permitted “iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn the case of materials, processes or proprietary parts becoming unavailable”, with no performance benefit.
Extra freedom with fuel temperature
Teams are being given extra freedom for 2023 regarding the ꦓcooling of fuel.
As explained by F1.com, “fuel in a car must not be colder than the lowest of either 10 degrees centigrade below ambient temperature, or 10 degrees centigrade (this being cut from 20 degrees), at any time when the car is running after leaওving the competitor’s designated garage area🦄.”

Changes for wet weather
Following a meeting of the F1 Commission in February, there will be a𒁃 number of changes to improve th🐈e cars and racing in wet weather.
There will✨ be a new specific𝓡ation of wet tyre for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix onwards.
While a technical directive is set to be introduced to give teams the opportunity to get involved in the new “wet weather package project”♛.
This has been supported by the teams to improve visibility in 🙈wet conditions🐟.
Other changes - Radio & Cost Cap
The F1 C🐬ommi♊ssion have also agreed to relax the rules surrounding team radio.
The F1 cost cap has been ad๊justed by $1.2m - $1.8m (per race) for every grand prix after 2꧟1 races.
Parc ferme rules have been relaxed in sprint weekends, “allowing a greater scope to change components that 🎶are prone to getting damaged, and greater use of self🐻-declared Parc Fermé forms.”
