Formula 1 has deni𒉰ed suggestions the sport is consid𓆉ering delaying the 2022 regulation overhaul by a further year in the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In response to the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis last year, F1 bosses agreed to defer the planned ♋2021 rules - which are set to revolutionise the series with the introduction of a brand new car to try and improve racing - until 2022.

A on Wedn🐓esday claimed that F1 is currently evaluating whether to delay the impending revamp to the technical regulations for an🍨other year until 2023.

The suggestion was that the current generation of cars would be ꦕcarried over for&nb♕sp;a third season in 2022, before the new regulations were implemented in 2023 amid concern over the ongoing pandemic and the emergence of a new, highly transmissible variant that has forced the United Kingdom into a third national lockdown this month.

But F1 has moved to reject the speculation, insistin📖g the championship is continuing t🌳o press ahead with its plans for the new regulations to arrive in 2022.

In a statement provided to ltxcn.top, an F෴1 spokesperson said: “Any suggestion the 2022 regulations will be delayed is ꦛwrong and has not been discussed.

“The new regulations are designed to improve competition on track and give our fans clo𒁏ser racing. This combined with th🦄e new financial regulations will improve Formula 1 and create a healthier and stronger business model for the whole sport.”

F1’s 10 teams suffered a financial blow due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which forced the opening 10 rounds of the 2020 season to be cancelled and the calendar to be largely revi♒sed.

But after successfully pulling together a 17-round, European-centric schedule last year, there is renewed hope F1 can carry out its record-breaking 23-round 2021 schedule without having to make too💯 ma🦄ny changes.

F1 revealed a revised 20♚21 calendar on Tuesday which will result in the 2021 season being delayed by a week, with the plann𓆉ed season-opener in Australia being shifted to November, and the Chinese Grand Prix postponed.

The introduction of a $145 million budget cap for this year h♒as eased some of the pressure on teams and has been created to ensure that development spend wilꦜl not spiral out of control.
