At last, the vision of Formula 1 2021 looks a little clearer in the crystal ball.

After plenty of behind-closed-doors wrangling and gamesmanship among the championship's teams and officials, there is now more than just a proof of concept. To the relief of many, the anticipated wide-scale changes for the 2021 season have now been signed off - and F1 will evolve dramatically at the close of next season.

In a pre-US Grand Prix press conference, F1's motorsport managing director Ross Brawn - sharing the table with CEO Chase Carey and FIA technical director Nikolas Tombazis - presented not only the new style of car that will take to the track, but also F1's new flavour. In doing so, he also took a few carefully planned swipes at the previous management's direction.

Jake Boxall-Legge Autosport’s Technical Editor. Having studied Automotive Engineering with Motorsport at the University of Hertfordshire, West Country-born Jake's original ambition was to design racing cars. During a year between studies in which he accidentally rekindled a love of writing, he took up a Master's in Motorsport Engineering at Oxford Brookes. Halfway through his master's year, he was offered a place on the Autosport Academy, conducting occasional freelance duties before becoming the press officer for Formula 2 and GP3 in 2018. Autosport offered him a return to the fold later that year to serve as its Technical Editor. His voice appears on a number of videos and podcasts, and can often be found writing about terrible Formula 1 cars in excruciating detail. In his spare time, Jake enjoys baking and blames his failure to make it past the Great British Bake-Off interviews on his tenuous grasp on choux pastry. His dream is to open a brunch cafe - and his willingness to make outrageous puns in inappropriate situations has earned him the contempt of his colleagues.
