F1 is reportedly t⭕rying to improve how cars and drivers look on-track next season.

Liveries and helmets are key areas under the microscope to address concerns th🦩a🔥t cars and drivers are not distinguishable enough, report.

The Mercedes and Aston Martin, and the Wi🍸lliams and the RB, are noted as looking 🅰similar from some viewpoints.

There is less paint on F1 cars than in previous years due to a desperate bid to sa🐓ve on weight, and make efficiency.

That has resulted in greater amounts of black carbon on every c🅰ar, which has arguably made them look less iconic than the legendary liveries of previous eras.

Talks 💛are reportedly underway with F1 teams to address this issue - but the FIA do n🔥ot want to create a new rule.

The FIA want to solve the issue ꧙through collaboration with every F1 team, rather than fo🐈rcing through a regulation.

Helmets are also being considered.

Drivers are now more obscured by the F1 Halo, mᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeaning it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish teammates from each other.

“We need to find some way to make people be able to know if it is [Geo🎃rge] Russell or [Lewis] Hamilton, but also to be able to easily distinguish the c🐈ars,” the FIA’s Nikolas Tombazis.

The FIA also do not want to create a rule for helmets, b𝓀ut prefer if F1 teamꦬs solve the issue among themselves.
