In other news, Vettel is moving to Red Bull Racing and Force India are finally getting McLaren engines. It's annoying that the engine limits are now not minimum 2 races but 3. It's going to be hell at Spa / Monza / Singapore now because they are arguably the most demanding races for the engine - and they run consecutively.
Also, does anyone know is it confirmed that if when the safety car is deployed the pit line will remain open from now on? Wikipedia didn't shed much light on the rumour
Source(...)It has been agreed to minimally revert to the old system, whereby the pitlane will stay open for refuelling even immediately after the deployment of the safety car.(...)
(...)It is expected that, to accompany the revised system for 2009, drivers will need to adhere to a minimum lap time as they drive slowly after deployment of the safety car, as has been trialled several times in free practice this year.
Drivers will be alerted about the deployment of the Mercedes sedan by the illumination of a yellow cockpit light, and have just five seconds to acknowledge the alarm by pressing a button.(...)
Awesome for F1 but not so when it eventually hits the market.Jenspm wrote:

A lot of teams have been having trouble with KERS. Batteries blowing up, mechanics getting electrocuted, I think BMW had a huge fire, etc.Mekstizzle wrote:
Don't need all that ground effect shite as Mr.Dale8 put it, because of the slicks (I think, something like that)
Also these cars are gonna have KERS. Basically the energy that's given out during braking will be stored as electricity and can give a boost when needed

Atm, I believe Honda is the only team that has managed to get it to work right.

I don't get it, the whole point of F1 = be at the pinnacle of technology, and now something new and slightly drastic has for once actually been thrown in, and they're complaining.
