What

Here is the Video Review on Formula One or F1 2006. Bye Bye.. 2006 Let’s see what’s new in 2007 Formula One.

Drivers:

You will not find Schumi in 2007 Ferrari as he retired, will not find Kimi Raikkonen in silver and black dress as he moved to Ferrari but you will find the world champion in silver and black dress as Alonso moved from Renault to Mclaren. Another interesting moved from Williams to Red Bull. Four New drivers Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalainen, Robert Kubica and Nico Rosberg are making their F1 debut.

Teams and Engines:

FIA to cut the cost made by the teams has stipulated engines must reamin unchanged till 2010. In a bid to improve efficiency and to stop the endless quest for more revs as a way of finding extra power, the 2.4-litre V8s will no longer be permitted to develop more than 19,000rpm.
And while the drivers have to use the same engine for two race weekends, that does not apply to Friday practice – so any failure then would not result in a 10-place grid penalty as it did last year.
Red Bull has switched from Ferrari to Renault engines whereas Spyker who used Toyota last year have switched to Ferrari. Toro Rosso and Williams who used Cosworth last year has now moved to Ferrari V8 engines and Toyota engines respectively.

Tyres:

The biggest technical change has stemmed from the withdrawal of tyre supplier Michelin, winner of the last two world titles. That means Bridgestone is the only supplier. For your reference after the controversial last year US grand prix Michelin has decide to exit the sport.

Race weekend and Safety:

There is the prospect of much more on-track action for spectators at the tracks following a couple of tweaks to the rules. Following an agreement to limit testing between races, the two Friday practice sessions have been extended from 60 minutes to 90, and teams will be allowed to do unlimited mileage. They will be encouraged to take a full part in these sessions by the already discussed rule that means drivers will not be punished for engine failures in Friday practice.

The safety-car rules have also been changed. When it is deployed, drivers will no longer be allowed to dive into the pit lane for a quick fuel-and-tyre stop until they are all lined up behind the safety car and the message “pit lane is open” is deployed on the timing monitors. Any driver doing so will be hit with a 10-second time penalty – although there are likely to be cases when teams judge the advantage to be won from an early pit stop will outweigh the penalty. A second change will allow lapped cars that are positioned between the leaders to overtake the safety car and rejoin the queue after gaining back their lost lap.
