What else is new?
In a sport where things usually come down to hundredths of a second, two years is a very long time. And it’ll be interesting to watch how things unfold over those two years.
Already for 2008, the FIA has banned traction control and the engine braking system — both connected to the introduction of the FIA-provided Electonic Control Unit (ECU).
“This season we will aim to be consistent,” Giancarlo Fisichella said. “We’ll look to qualify in the top 15 and, hopefully, start scoring some points towards the end of the year.”
And in a continuing effort to bridge the gap between the front-runners and the rest of the field, 2009 will see engine freezes — where teams can’t develop their engines through the season — and some standardised aerodynamics parts.
“All teams will practically be starting from scratch,” Mallya says. “That should be fun.”
