A new era of Formula One
Formula One racing is witnessing a major transformation with the International Automobile Federation announcing the adoption of radical changes to car engines and bodies this year.
The power units in new car engines focus largely on electrical energy, which will prompt drivers to manage the battery system differently.
The International Federation tends to increase the integration of technology into car manufacturing while controlling this with strict laws, which increases the intensity of disputes between teams due to the difference in financial budgets with the successive seasons.
Red Bull Racing star Max Verstappen criticized the new regulations, describing the current driving as unenjoyable and somewhat similar to Formula E or the World Championship for electric cars.
