Pre-Season Changes
Team Changes
- Fittipaldi Automotive and Jenkins Industries F1 Team did not return to start 1980, with Jenkins going bust with 3 races to go in 1979 and Fittipaldi pulling out of Formula One.
- Osella Squadre Corse were the first of the new teams to be granted an entry to the sport, mid way through 1979. The Italian squad secured the old Williams FW06 chassis used by Jenkins after the team went bust, and signed a deal with Alfa Romeo to receive engines from the Italian manufacturer in exchange for a choice over one of their drivers starting from 1981 onwards.
- Audi Sport were the second of the new teams to be announced for 1980. The squad, after having their entry confirmed before the 1979 Canadian Grand Prix, spent most of 1979 testing their car in secret, but when the car did break cover it emerged that someone had found the blueprints to the Brabham BT48 in a skip and copied them. To power their chassis, the German manufacturer developed their own in-line 6 turbocharged engine.
- Restov Racing were the next squad to be announced. The Anglo-Russian squad founded by businessman Edward Restov quickly secured a deal with Renault to run their old RS11 chassis and engines, to be re badged as Ladas. Restov also showed his business acumen by signing Russian company Gazprom into a lucrative title sponsorship deal.
- Renault offered a supply of engines to all teams, with Brabham, Lotus, Renault, Restov, and Wolf taking delivery of Renault engines.
- ATS Racing was renamed to JLD Racing following the latter's take over of the former.
- Ensign signed a deal with Honda for a supply of engines.
- RAM Racing rebadged their normally aspirated Ferrari engines to FIATs after a request from Ferrari.
Driver Changes
Changed Teams
- Thomas Nurmester, who drove in place of an ill Geoff Lees for Tyrrell at the 1979 Monaco Grand Prix, moved to Osella, where he would receive a full-time drive. However, he was also retained by Tyrrell as a test and reserve driver.
- Mario Andretti moved to Merzario after ebing sacked by the McLaren team, along with Emerson Fittipaldi after his family team left the sport.
- After being left without a drive after the Jenkins team pulled out, Rupert Keegan joined JLD
- 1979's journeyman, Beppe Gabbiani, moved to his third team in 14 months, Restov, ahead of the 1980 season.
- Niki Lauda was dropped by Brabham after a lacklustre 1979, with the Austrian joining Audi.
- Marc Surer recovered from his horrific back injuries he suffered at the 1979 German Grand Prix to join Audi.
Entered Formula One
- Along with Formula One's first team from behind the Iron curtain, Bulgaria's Deyan Rangelov proved to be Formula One's first Eastern European driver.
- Larry Perkins joined Brabham after winning Australia's Rothmans International Series.
- Nigel Mansell joined RAM full-time after serving as their test driver in 1979.
- Briton Brian Henton joined Shadow Ford Racing after finishing second in European Formula Two in 1979.
- American Eddie Cheever joined Osella's F1 effort after a successful campaign with them in European Formula Two.
Left Formula One
- Danny Ongais was left with no drive after Fittipaldi pulled out of the sport, and returned to race in America.
- Marshal Jenkins did not return along with his team.
- Geoff Lees, after being sacked by Tyrrell before the 1979 Australian Grand Prix, did not find a drive for 1980.
