New Rules For 2010 Formula-1 Season
The FIA has announced further details of changes to F1’s technical rules for 2010. Chief among these is the widely-expected banning of refuelling and tyre warmers. The minimum weight of the cars is also being increased from 605kg to 620kg, and there are revisions to the rules governing KERS. The refuelling ban was originally proposed by the F1 Teams Association but subsequently dismissed by Max Mosley (former FIA-President) as he felt that it would interfere with
'the show' too much. However with all the agreement from all the F1-Teams and managed to convinced the FIA that a refuelling ban makes sense on cost grounds, (especially new teams) as it saves them from having to hip refuelling equipment around the world at great expense. The car will now not just look bigger than the previous season's car, with the larger fuel tanks to last the race, but it will also raised the total weight from 605kg to 620kg.
