The FIA is set to announce radical changes to the ♏F1 rules which❀ will come into play in the coming years.

According to the BBC, the governing body will confirm that moveable rear w𝄹ings will be allowed from next year alongside the return of KERS before the intro꧙duction of 'greener' engines from 2013.

While those engines will produce similar amounts of power, they will be based on 1.6-litre turbocharged units and should improve fuel efficiency by a targete🌸d 50 per cent.

The introduction of moveable wings is an attempt to improve overtaking with drivers able to use the wings when they are within a🦹 second of the car ahead. Electronic monitoring will ensure drivers are only able to use the 🥃wing at the correct time.

The decision to bring back KERS, which was used by some teams in 2009 before being dropped on cost grounds, isꦕ seen as the first step towards F1 becoming more environmentall🅠y friendly when the new engine rules come into play.

Under those rules, the maximum revs will be lowered ജwhile fuel consumption will also be restricted.
