2010 F1 Regulations Change Formula 1

On to 2010 with new regulations coming into play.

These new regulations will offer the teams more Technical Freedom.

These new 2010 F1 Regulations are as follows.

Refueling banned

This will save on money as it will remove the need to carry 20 big heavy fueling rigs to each race venue and on the plus side we may see some drivers having to save fuel at some point during the race as it may revert back to situations in the 80s where drivers where known to run out of fuel before the end if the race.

Increased weight limit
Due to BMW sauber team pressure over driver weight the minimum weight limit has been raised from 605kg to 620kg .

Front Wing Safety Measures
There will be changes to the front wing end designs they will have a minimum radius to prevent damage to an opponents tyre in case of a collision.

Stricter KERS regulations
As from 2010 the KERS may not be activated when a car is traveling more than 160 MPH this change will eliminate the posibility to use KERS for additional top speed, it will help the cars reach there top speed quicker rather than a top speed boost this should increase over taking next year.




Budget Cap Regulation Set
With the start of 2010 an aditional regulation will be introduced to buget the teams to a limit of £45million. In exchange the teams will receive more techanical freedom.
