As you know, 2017 promises to be another exciting year for Formula 1 in terms of regulation changes. This particular video animation by Giorgio Piola, posted by OmniCorse, shows what F1 cars could look like once the new set of regulations is enforced. In a nutshell, Formula 1 cars in 2017 will be a lot more aggressive, both in terms of looks and hopefully, performance too.
Firstly, the cars will be marginally wider than they are now (with wider front wings), while the overall length will be significant increased too. The new rear tyres will also see an increase from 420 mm to 450 mm, while the air-intakes on the side pods will be swept back by 15 degrees.
Rear aerodynamics will also see quite a revision. Both rear wing elements will be set considerably lower and wider than they are now. Interestingly, the structures around the side pods will be set at pre-determined angles, including the rear wing uprights.
Watch the video above for more details. Whether the changes will make for better racing remains to be seen, but the cars will sure look more exciting, that’s for sure. Race fans, what do you think of this?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Petronas emblazoned on all the ads, pictures, and videos.
Even got papercraft model for last years car.
Money really well spent.
Should reduce the aerodynamics…ditch current engine and gay eco hybrid setup and go for V12 or V10 N/A engine rev up to 20000RPM!!!

Wow look at the size of the diffuser.. so much more downforce in 2017! wider car give more grips too. Great if pair with NA V10 engines.. remove the sissy DRS and limit to only one engine mapping.. bring back the real racing for men!
Real racing is when men use 10speed stick shift, not sissy pedal shifters
It depends on how you describe it. Am saying the technologies aiding the drivers to overtake. That makes them sissy and that’s not real racing.
It’s good too if they can bring back the gear stick as you mentioned. Just that it become more and more irrelevant to many road cars of this generation.

Bringing back the gear stick as you mentioned is also a good thing but it has become more and more irrelevant to many road cars of this generation.
So basically they are going to maintain the engine speed & focus on corner speed? Hope they will increase the engine performance too. I got sleepy when watching F1 nowadays.
The engine performance does not have too much difference from the 2.4L v8 era. The problem is the current engine is too quite due to the MGU-H unit mounted onto the exhaust to reproduce energy. That is why we cannot feel the speed while watching the race.
F1 makes me snore. Formula E/WEC are much interesting, exciting, entertaining & action-packed. ugh
at least the last race in Budapest should wake you up many times. :)
