The regulations governing Formula One racing have changed many times throughout the history of the sport.
Formula One's rules and regulations are set by the sport's governing body, the FIA.[1] The primary reasons behind rule changes have traditionally been to do with safety.[2] As each decade has passed the FIA have made more and more changes in the regulations so that better facilities and equipment are available in the event of an accident at race meetings.[3] These rule changes have also been aimed at eliminating dangerous practices from the sport in an effort to make it safer.[3]
Many innovations and technological improvements have been banned over the years as a result of FIA regulation changes.[4] The governing body have taken these actions to slow the cars down to a level where a Grand Prix car can be driven relatively safely.[5] If cornering speeds were sufficiently high, an accident while cornering would almost certainly result in the death of the driver.[5]
Since 2000, the FIA has been issuing an increasing number of rule changes to limit the cost of the sport.[6] The cost of running a team in the sport has increased dramatically in recent years and this situation has not proved sustainable. From 2009 onwards, Formula One has committed itself to dramatic reductions in expenditure.[7]
