-15% tougher crash tests -New regulator to stop teams running illigal flexable rear wings
Red (if the race has been stopped), Yellow (if their is an accident and Blue (if the driver is just about to be lapped) Cockpit lights that show on the steering wheel
- 3 hours of free practicing -No penalty for Engine change
- Limited to 19,000 RPM - Design has been frozen until 2010
-All teams run Bridgestone and teams have to run both the hard and the soft tyres in the race. The soft tyre will have special markings so we tell when the drivers are using them.
-As soon as the safety car is deployed your not allowed to pit for fuel, you are allowed to come in for tyres, which is a sefety measure incase you run over some debrie and pick up a punture. But if the driver does pit for fuel its a 10 sec penalty. So until the pit lane sign opens it will mean the cars will queue up behind each team mate and resemble a busy petrol station
From 2008:
The controversial system was first banned in 1994 in a bid to prevent advances in technology removing driver skill, but was allowed back into the sport in 2001 when it was deemed too difficult for the FIA to find out if teams were cheating by getting round it somehow. Purists have long complained that technology is taking the skill away from Formula 1, but with the FIA now able to monitor each car, traction control has been banned once again from next season in an attempt to again place driver skill over that of the machine.
 Domenicali reveals 2008 qualifying tweaks Fuel burn eliminated with shorter Q3 in 2008 20/12/07
More detail about the tweaks to F1's knockout qualifying format for 2008 have emerged.
"Q3 becomes 10 minutes, instead of 15," Domenicali added, explaining that competitors will no longer be allowed to add fuel to their cars before the Grand Prix.
There will be a total freeze on engine development for a period of 10 years, starting from 2008, an FIA statement said. A change can be made after five years but only with the unanimous agreement of all stakeholders and following a further two-year notice period.
Total freeze means that there will be no exceptions for development of certain parts of the engine, as is the case under the current regulations.
