Renault&nඣbsp;executive director Marcin Budkowski believes the Formula 1 rules overhaul set to arrive in 2021 is nothing the sport has ever been through bef🎐ore with a “revolution” in the regulations.

F1 b꧙osses presented its 2021 vision𒀰 at last year’s United States Grand Prix, laying out a plan for how the new generation of cars will perform with new technical and sporting regulations.

The shake-up is part of the wider changes also set to hit the financial governing and running of F1, which is primarily focused around the introduction of a team cost cap estimated to be set at $150m per season with exceptions like marketing costs and 😼driver salaries.

As a result, all F1 teams are preparing to juggle its 2020 car development with designing its all-new 2021 projects which has led to Budkowski calling the extent of the incoming changes something F1 has never seen befor♈e.

“Finding the balance between the 2020 and 2021 car projects will be a huge challenge, of a scale that is probably unprecedented in Formula 1,” Budkowski said. “You always try to start new cars as early as possible but ಌit’s even more valuable when you have a big change in regulations, and the 2021 regulations are nothing short of ✱a revolution.

“Of course, oꦇur ambition is to have a good 2020 season, but we are aiming to transition to 2021 as early as possible as we expect the slope of developm✤ent for the new car to be very steep.”

Renault has already made early pꦺreparations for its 2021 efforts by hiring ex-McLaren technical head Pat Fry as its new chℱassis technical director.

Budkowski says Fry’s introdu🦩ction brings a timely injection of experience aꦓnd focus for its 2021 project.

“Pat joins us with a wealth of experience in engineering from a number of top teams,” Budkowski exp🦩lained. “His background is wide-ranging, from trackside race engineering to overseeing car designs and managing technical teams. From a personality point of view, he also has a lot of drive and a very strong ability to focus on the things that rea🌟lly matter to make a car go quicker.

“His expertise will be of strategic use in the devel🍸opment of the 2021 car as well as for the R.S.20. The latter’s principal characteristic𒀰s were already determined a few months ago and it is more of an evolution of the R.S.19.

“As such, its potential progress i🎃s limited, but it is an informed decision based on the resources we have at🔯 our disposal and our mid-term ambitions.”
