The FIA is set to anno🌳unce 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 win🐠gs will be allowed fro💜m next year alongside the return of KERS before the introduction 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 targeted 50 per cent.

The introduction of moveable wings is an attempt to improve overtaking with drivers able to use the wings ꦅwhen 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, is seen as the first💫 step towards F1 becoming more environᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmentally friendly when the new engine rules come into play.

Under thoseꦬ rules, the maximum revs will be lowered while fuel consumption will also be restricted.
