F1 is taking early action again to sort an overtaking problem, this time for 2025. It could do far worse than repeat its last intervention
The FIA plans to make changes to Formula 1’s technical regulations in 2025 to address the issue of dirty air, which was also a concern in 2019. However, past modifications to the rules have had limited success in solving the problem and have mainly affected the performance loss when following another car. The current initiative is a response to the increasing loss of aerodynamic load while following closely behind another car. The 2019 changes were proposed after the 2018 Australian Grand Prix and were based on data gathered over a short period of time, leading to some dissent among teams. The changes focused on reducing the outwash and turbulence caused by the front wheels and aimed to facilitate closer racing. Additionally, changes were made to the rear wing to enhance the effectiveness of the drag reduction system (DRS).
