Rules

There are some important changes in the F1 rules this year including a revised points system, the banning of refuelling and new, narrower front tyres.

Find out more about the rules changes below:

Calendar

There are 19 races on the calendar this year. The biggest change is the addition of a new Grand Prix in Korea to be held in October.

This year also sees the return of the Canadian Grand Prix, which was missing from the 2009 schedule.

The German Grand Prix switched from the Nurburgring to the Hockenheimring (it rotates venues every year) and Bahrain and Silverstone each have new sequences of corners.

The full 2010 F1 calendar is below. You can also get a version which adds the time for every F1 session into your Google Calendar. It also comes in ICAL, XML and HTML flavours. Find it here: F1 Fanatic Google Calendar

  8. Almost there! I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

  9. Keith, any chance of getting the forum back soon…
    I really really miss it..

  10. Keith,I’ve got something to ask you mate.Its about the refuelling ban.What if a driver runs out of fuel before the end of the race.Will he be allowed to make a pit stop and get refuelled or will that be retirement?

    I think its disgusting that Mothers Day falls on the national holiday that is F1’s first race.

    Keith, you have. A star beside the Korean grand prix, but no footnote to go with it.

  13. Can anyone put down a list showing on every team pairing, who has the yellow camera and who has the orange?
    Thanks

    1. Is it orange? I think it is red… Anyway, look at this. The first driver has red camera, the second – yellow.
