Click to follow

F1 racing magazine of UK publish an article about 2020 Formula One Car. It clarifies that in next decade there will be lots of changes in F1 car.

The FIA has already demanded that F1 teams cut their fuel consumption by 35 percent by moving to a new 1.6-liter turbocharged engine for the 2013 season.

A return to the use of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS) — F1 hybrid-drive — is a given, but by 2010 Symonds says they'll be producing more power — up to 250 hp from 80 hp in 2009.

By then fuel consumption in F1 could drop by as much as 50 percent. Cars' lift-to-drag ratio reduced to 3:1 from to 4:1.

The magazine recently teamed up with Renault F1 chief designer Pat Symonds to give motorsport fans a glimpse of what the F1 car of 2020 will look like and how it will perform.

There is amendment on future rules for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions but F1 will remain an open-wheel, open-cockpit formula.
