Can anyone tell me what rules are changing for next season? - I know that they are now using slicks and some sort of eco-friendly thingy and whats this about less aero-dynamic stuff on the car?

kers energy storage being used as power to pass is one of the most interesting, but every team has a different system, so we'll have to see how that pans out.

slicks will be good, something that will hopefully make the championship so dependent on tyre management.

All those sprouty things are being banned, there will be taller rear wings and skinnier front wings. More power & slick tyres. Basically, think early 90's cars sort of style but with more tech. You get the idea.
Has anyone heard about there being an electronic gizmo that lets the drivers change the front wing geometry 2 times per lap from the steering wheel?

Reduced aero (smaller wings, no more silly sticky out bits etc)
Slicks
KERS (if it gets introduced)

this is the major stuff iirc and theyre chaging the safety car rules aswell.

Is Bernie talking about changing the points scoring for an Olympic first past the post thing?

I'm looking forward to slick tyres but i i'm not interested at all in the kinetic energy. Think it will ruin it as for one i don't think theres a place for it in formula one and also Toyota have already confirmed they will only introduce it half way through the season. The downforce though will be reduced by around 40%, i'm interested to see where this will go.
