Regulation changes:
* Massive aerodynamic regulation changes, with front wings being much larger, rear wings much tinier and higher, and all sorts of winglets have been banned. This is in order to facilitate overtaking.
* The front wing angle can now be changed by the drivers inside the cockpit twice per lap. Again, this is to facilitate overtaking.
* KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) is introduced. This is an optional system that charges energy, and then gives bursts of extra power, on the drivers demand, for a certain seconds every lap.
* Slick tyres are back.
* The engine rev limiters have been further downgraded to 18000 maximum revs.
* Testing has been cut back to a limit of only 10000 km.
* Testing is now forbidden once the season begins.
