2009 Formula 1 Season changes - Nathan - 03-30-2009
Lots of changes were introduced by the FIA in the 2009 Formula 1 season. The changes regard both technical and sporting matters. Foremost goals are increased reliability and cost reduction.
The main modifications are:
Tyres - F1 racing returns to slicks in 2009, after 10 seasons on grooved tyres
Engine - rev limits are to be cut from 19,000 to 18,000 rpm. Drivers are limited to eight engines per season.
Aerodynamics - downforce will be dramatically reduced and the cars’ bodywork will appear much cleaner
Testing - starting with 2009, onwards testing is not allowed during the race season
Safety car - The pit lane will now remain open throughout any safety-car period, thereby allowing drivers to refuel without penalty
Just curious to see how the first new races will run

The winners were the absolute underdogs - both Brawn participants Batton and Barykello took the first two places! Amazing!

That really is a great result - 58 laps in just 1:34:15
The new rules found their new champions. I think it will give a bit of headache to bookmakers as the winners are absolutely unpredictable.

I am sure he will face. It's the best pilot of racing. Even if is out of sports and some time was not trained, he has this gift from God that can not be lost or forgot!

He is too old for racing. Are pilots younger and more able, that will prouve to everyone that his time is all over. I do not think it will be winner.

Number of tickets sold for the Grand Prize of Europe grew by 50 percent. Thus, last week have been sold 10 thousand tickets for entry, from 6500 the previous week. Michael Schumacher, who retired from the competition at the end of 2006, will replace the team Ferrari Felipe Massa, injured at the Grand Prix of Hungary. The first race that will participate in world champion Grand Prix of Europe in Valencia.

Kimi Räikkönen won the Grand Prix of Belgium. It was the first victory of the current season for its pilot and for Ferrari team. Raikkonen managed the first victory of the season, fourth on the circuit in Belgium and the 18th of his career.

Renault team was found guilty in the scandal following the accident in which he was involved last year, Nelson Piquet, the Grand Prix in Singapore. Brazilian pilot said recently that when scuderiei director Flavio Briatore, asked him to intentionally cause an accident. That's to help the team-mate, Fernando Alonso to win. Renault received last night a suspended sentence of two years and may participate in the race, and if within that time will be involved in similar, it will be disqualified from Formula 1.
