2019 RULE CHANGES
- The fastest lap driven during a race will now award both the driver and his team one championship point, provided the driver is classified in the top ten of the race results. If the driver classifies outside of the top ten, no point will be awarded.
- New front wings, width has been increased to span the tires, endplates have been simplified and wing-elements have been simplified to decrease the wake trailing a car and making it easier to follow and overtake other cars.
- New barge boards have been made smaller and are repositioned, once again to reduce the wake created by these elements.
- New rear wings, same as front wings, made wider and simplified to reduce the wake trailing the cars. The wider size also increases the DRS effect, increasing the speed gain.
- New brake ducts, simplified to allow for less aerodynamic elements.
- After a Safety Car period ends, drivers may not overtake other cars before they pass the finish line. Previously overtaking was allowed from the safety-car line.
- There are now 5 dry-weather tire compounds. From hardest to softest designated as C1 to C5 respectively. Three compounds will be selected by Pirelli ahead of the race and color coded and named as White Hard, Yellow Medium and Red Soft.
- Drivers are now weighed separately from the car. A minimum weight of 80kg is set for the driver and his seat, if the driver weighs less, ballast weight will be added to the seat.
- Car weight including driver weight is now 740kg, up from 733kg.
- The full limit is increased by 5kg to 110kg of fuel for a race. Allowing for less fuel saving during the race.
- Cars will no longer be scrutineered by the FIA before the race weekend. Instead, random checks by the stewards will occur and teams will self-scrutineer and sign a declaration that their car complies with the regulations.
- End-of-race signal has been changed from the chequered flag (which will still be waved ceremoniously) to a chequered light panel, to avoid mistakes by guest flag wavers waving too early.
- New helmet regulations require stronger helmets with increased impact protection and energy absorption. They also have 10mm narrower visors.
- Two extra lights are placed on the wing-end plates on the back of the car, to compliment the centered light.
- Drivers now wear biometric gloves to check a drivers pulse and blood-oxygen rates, so medical staff can check their vitals after a crash where they can't communicate with a driver.
