So Far very good looking cars considering the rules changes for the 2010 year.
As the new team roll out their car I will be sure to update on the new ones.

1. The biggest change for the 2010 season is the banning of refuelling during races for the first time since 1993.The change requires cars to possess a much larger fuel tank - up from around 80 litres to something nearer 250 - and has a major effect on race strategy, with drivers having to pay more attention to tyre and brake conservation. To accommodate the bigger tank, the cars are likely to feature wider rear bodywork and a longer wheelbase. As a result, the weight distribution will be quite different to that of a 2009 car.

2. Teams are no longer allowed to use the wheel rim covers that became so commonplace in 2009. Their removal means one less thing to go wrong when pit crews are trying to change of set of tyres in less than four seconds, and could also aid overtaking by making the airflow immediately behind cars less turbulent.

3.Narrower front tyres
When slick tyres returned to Formula One racing in 2009, the tyre size remained unchanged. In terms of contact area, this meant that the fronts gained proportionally more grip than the rears. This has been addressed for 2010, with front tyre width reduced from 270mm to 245mm, thus helping to bring back a better grip balance. Also, the ban on refuelling means cars will be around 100kg heavier at the start of a race than in 2009, so Bridgestone will use slightly harder tyre compounds to compensate.

Oh i forgot one thing... Michael Schumacher is back this year WOOOOOOO!

any more questions you have on F1 let me know I am a huge fan and I am on F1.com all the time.

Sure will with him and Ross Brawn leading the team.

Michael is the BEST!

Btw, I have always wonder who the pit crew change the tires in 4 secs. The way they carry and toss the wheels like it has no weight. How much does an F1 wheel weigh?

Not sure the weight but the wheels are forged. They are also monolug so the just pop them off and the new ones on.

[endofanera7]

Yeah Im always find it really amusing when they simply toss the wheel with 1 hand lol

Skip to 3:25 if you dont wanna see the whole video.
