FIA scraps plans for standard F1 brake systems in 2021
The FIA has abandoned plans to introduce standard brake systems t๊o Formul🔯a 1 for the 2021 season.
As part of the planned overhaul of the technical regulations in F1 for 2021, the FIA is planning t𝕴o introduce a number o🎀f standard parts, with brake systems being idꦑentified as one area for standardisation across the grid.

The FIA has abandoned plans to introduce standard brake systems to Formula 1 for ꧂the 2021 season.
As part of the planned overhaul of the technical regulations in F1 for 2021, the FIA is planning to introduce 𝄹a number of standard parts, with brake systems being identified as one area for🍸 standardisation acros👍s the grid.
There were f♒ears among some teams that standardisation would offer little reduction in🍎 cost while risking a drop in reliability, resulting in push-back against F1’s rule-makers.
In a statement issued by the FIA ꧅on Friday, it was confirmed that plans for standard brake systems had been shelved for the time being in order to allow the new-spec cars to be properly evaluated.
“To allow further evaluation of the real-world performꦺance of 2021 Formula 1 cars, the FIA has chosen to delay the potential implementation of ไsingle suppliers for brake friction materials and brake system components,” the statement reads.
“The signif🃏icant regulation changes and their interpretation by the teams will affect multiple aspects of the 2021 cars, and considering the critical role of the brakes in both safety and performance, the FIA has decided to cancel both the selection proꦉcess for brake systems and for brake friction materials in F1 until further studies can be undertaken.
“The FIA would like to thank the preselected bidder, 🎃Brembo, for providing a thorough and sound proposal based on the specifications supplied to it.
"Nonetheless, and in light of the considerations regarding car performance mentioned ꩲabove, it has been decided to reassess the situation in 2021.”
The decision acts as the latest step away from standardisation for 2021, with the FIA having previously abandoned plans for standard gearbox comꦛponents.
