2010 season changes
Car livery
Though not as dramatic as the rule changes introduced for the 2009 season, the revisions for 2010 could still have a significant impact on the teams’ relative performance…
Felipe Massa (BRA) Ferrari F2008. Formula One World Championship, Rd 11, Hungarian Grand Prix, Race, Budapest, Hungary, Sunday, 3 August 2008
Refuelling The biggest change for the 2010 season is the banning of refuelling during races for the first time since 1993. Pit stops will not become a thing of the past, however, as drivers still have to use both dry-weather tyre compounds during a Grand Prix. Of course, those stops will now be much quicker, quite possibly under four seconds. 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.
Teams must run their two cars with essentially the same race livery throughout the season and must seek prior approval for any major changes.
Points system In place of the previous structure, which saw the top eight drivers scoring 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point respectively, from 2010 the top ten finishers in a Grand Prix score points. The change has been introduced as a result of the expanded grid of 13 teams. Under the new system, the race winner takes 25 points, with 18 and 15 being awarded for second and third places respectively. The next seven finishers will score 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point respectively.
In addition there are a number of requirements that apply to liveries for all cars and teams. Every car must carry its driver’s race number, which must be clearly visible from the front of the car, and the driver’s name must appear on the external bodywork of the car. The team’s name or emblem must also appear on the nose of the car. To help distinguish between a team’s two cars, the onboard cameras which sit on top of the main rollover structure are coloured differently. On the first car it must be predominantly fluorescent red and on the second car it must be fluorescent yellow.
Weight The minimum weight of the car has been raised from 605kg to 620kg. The initial thinking behind this was to offset the disadvantage faced by taller, heavier drivers in KERS-equipped cars (the additional weight of the KERS system meant they were left with less flexibility in terms of weight distribution than their lighter rivals). By mutual agreement, however, teams are now not expected to run KERS in 2010. 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. The number of dry tyres available to each driver has been decreased from 14 to 11 sets per weekend and any driver who participates in Q3 must start the race on the same tyres he used to set his grid time. No wheel fairings 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. More teams Twelve teams - 24 cars - will feature on the grid in 2010. This means a slight alteration to the knockout qualifying session, which will now see seven drivers (as opposed to five) eliminated in Q1 and Q2, leaving ten to fight it out for pole in Q3. The ban on refuelling means that cars will qualify on low fuel in all three phases of the session. Testing If a team declares that one of their current race drivers is to be substituted by a driver who has not participated in an F1 race in the two previous calendar years, one day of track testing will now be permitted, on an approved circuit not being used for a Grand Prix in the current season. This is to avoid scenarios such as that seen in 2009 when Jaime Alguersuari made his Formula One debut with Toro Rosso having only previously driven an F1 car in straight-line testing. In another minor change, teams will be allowed six rather than eight days of straight-line aero testing per season. They will also have the option of substituting any of these days for four hours of wind tunnel testing with a full-scale (rather than the normal 60 percent-scale) model.

33
Classification
Driver changes and additional drivers
A commonly asked question is how drivers can be given a placing in the official race results even though they retired before the end of the race. The explanation can be found within the FIA regulations regarding classification.
Romain Grosjean (FRA) Renault R29. Formula One World Championship, Rd 15, Japanese Grand Prix, Practice Day, Suzuka, Japan, Friday, 2 October 2009
These state that any driver who completed at least 90 per cent of the race distance will be classified, whether or not he was running when the winner took the chequered flag.
Teams may use up to four drivers during a season, all of whom may score points in the championship. A driver change may be made with the permission of the stewards any time before the start of qualifying. The new driver must use the engine and tyres allocated to the original driver.
If a race is stopped before the full distance and a result is declared, the classification will reflect the race order at the end of the lap two laps prior to that on which the race was stopped (see ‘Suspending and resuming a race’). For example, if a race is stopped on lap 60, the classification will be as it was at the end of lap 58.
34
On top of this, in each of Friday’s two practice sessions teams may run additional drivers, though each team is still limited to two cars. Any holder of a Super License may run as an additional driver, but stewards must be informed of a team’s plans before the end of initial scrutineering on the Thursday prior to practice.
35
Driver penalties
Officials
Stewards have the power to impose various penalties on a driver if he commits an offence during a race. Offences may include jumping the start, causing an avoidable accident, unfairly blocking another driver, impeding another driver when being lapped, speeding in the pit lane etc.
Charlie Whiting (GBR) FIA Delegate. Formula One World Championship, Rd 18, Brazilian Grand Prix, Qualifying Day, Interlagos, Brazil, 21 October 2006
The two most common types are the drive-through penalty and the ten-second time penalty. In the case of the former, the driver must enter the pits, drive through the pit lane at the pit-lane speed limit and rejoin the race without stopping. Depending on the length of the pit lane this can cost a driver a significant amount of time. More severe is the ten-second time penalty (also commonly known as a stop-go penalty) where the driver must not only enter the pits, but must also stop for ten seconds at his pit before rejoining the race. During this time the driver’s team are not permitted to work on the car. In extreme cases the stewards may choose to enforce a third type of penalty whereby they can force a driver to drop any number of grid positions at the next Grand Prix. So even if the driver in question goes on to qualify in pole position, he will in fact start from a lower grid slot; 11th for example in the case of a ten-place penalty. In the case of the drive-through penalty and the ten-second time penalty, a driver has three laps, from the time his team is notified, to enter the pits (failure to do so may result in a black flag and the driver being excluded from the race). The only exception is when the penalty is awarded during the final five laps of the race. In this case the driver may continue and complete the race. However, 25 seconds will be added to his total race time, which may drop him considerably in the final race standings.
36
At every Grand Prix meeting there are seven key race officials who monitor and control the activities of the stewards and marshals to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event in accordance with FIA regulations. Five of the seven officials are nominated by the FIA. These are the race director (currently Charlie Whiting), a permanent starter and three additional stewards, one of whom is nominated chairman. The additional stewards must be FIA Super Licence holders. The other two key officials are nominated by the National Sporting Authority (ASN) of the country holding the race. These are the clerk of the course and an additional steward (who must be a national of the host nation). Both must be FIA Super Licence holders. The clerk of the course works in consultation with the race director, who has overriding authority. The race director directs the clerk of the course on how to instruct the stewards during the various practice, qualifying and race sessions. The race director and the clerk of the course, as well as the FIA technical delegate (currently Jo Bauer), must all be present at the event from 10am on Thursday (Wednesday in Monaco) onwards. The race director, the clerk of the course and the chairman of the stewards must all be in radio contact while cars are on track. Furthermore, at these times the clerk of the course must be in the race-control headquarters and in radio contact with all of the marshal’s posts.
37
Parc Ferme
Points
Parc ferme is an enclosed and secure area in the paddock where the cars are weighed and any other checks deemed necessary by race officials are made. Teams must leave their cars here from within three and a half hours of the end of the qualifying on Saturday until five hours before the start of the formation lap on Sunday.
The top ten finishers in each Grand Prix score points towards both the drivers’ and the constructors’ world championships, according to the following scale:
However, the cars are deemed to be under parc ferme conditions for a much longer period - from the time they first exit the pits during qualifying until the start of the formation lap immediately prior to the race. Under these conditions, the work teams may carry out on their cars is limited to strictly-specified routine procedures, which can only be performed under the watchful eye of the FIA Technical Delegate and race scrutineers. Fuel may be added to the cars, tyres changed and brakes bled. Minor front wing adjustments are also allowed, but little else. These controls mean that teams cannot make significant alterations to the set-up of a car between qualifying and the race. The only exception to this is when there is a “change in climatic conditions”, for example a dry qualifying session followed by a wet race, or vice versa. In this case the FIA will give the teams permission to make further appropriate changes to their cars.

25 points 18 points 15 points 12 points 10 points 8 points 6 points 4 points 2 points 1 point
(The only exception to this is when a race is suspended and cannot be restarted. If less than 75 per cent of the race distance has been completed half points are awarded, and if less than two laps have been completed, no points are awarded.) For example, if in a given race Lewis Hamilton finishes second for McLaren and team mate Jenson Button fifth, then Hamilton and Button score 18 and ten points respectively towards the drivers’ championship, while McLaren score 28 points (18 plus 10) towards the constructors’ championship. The drivers’ and constructors’ championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season. In the case of a dead heat for a championship place then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results will be awarded the place.
38
39
Practice and qualifying
Race start procedure
At each Grand Prix meeting all race drivers may participate in two one and a half-hour practice sessions on Friday (Thursday at Monaco), a one-hour session on Saturday morning and a qualifying session on Saturday afternoon. While individual practice sessions are not compulsory, a driver must take part in at least one Saturday session to be eligible for the race.
Prior to every Grand Prix the teams and drivers must adhere to a very strict starting procedure. This gets underway 30 minutes before the formation lap when the pit lane is opened.
Saturday’s one-hour qualifying session is split into three distinct parts, each with multiple drivers on track simultaneously, and each with the drivers running as many laps as they want: Q1: All 26 cars may run laps at any time during the first 20 minutes of the hour. At the end of the first 20 minutes, the eight slowest cars drop out and fill the final eight grid places. Q2: After a seven-minute break, the times will be reset and the 18 remaining cars then will then run in a 15-minute session - again they may complete as many laps as they want at any time during that period. At the end of the 15 minutes, the eight slowest cars drop out and fill places 11 to 18 on the grid. Q3: After a further eight-minute break, the times are reset and a final 10-minute session will feature a shootout between the remaining 10 cars to decide pole position and the starting order for the top 10 grid places. Again, these cars may run as many laps as they wish. If a driver is deemed by the stewards to have stopped unnecessarily on the circuit or impeded another driver during qualifying, his times may be cancelled.
Drivers are then free to complete a reconnaissance lap of the circuit before taking up their grid positions. If a driver wishes to complete additional reconnaissance laps he must pass through the pit lane each time in order to bypass the grid. The pit lane closes 15 minutes prior to the formation lap. Any drivers still in the pit lane at this time will have to start the race from there. Ten minutes before the start the grid must be cleared except for team technical staff, race officials and drivers. With three minutes to go all cars must have their wheels fitted (any car not complying will receive a 10-second time penalty). With a minute to go all cars must have their engines running. All personnel must then leave the grid at least 15 seconds before the green lights come on to signal the start of the formation lap. Any driver who has a problem immediately prior to the green light must raise his arm to indicate this. Once the rest of the field has moved off marshals will push the car into the pit lane. During the formation lap no practice starts are allowed. Overtaking is also forbidden unless passing a car that has slowed due to a technical problem. Passed cars may in turn re-overtake in order to regain their grid position if the problem is resolved during the course of the formation lap. However, any driver who is still on the grid when all other cars have moved off on the formation lap, but then subsequently gets away, may not re-pass cars to regain his grid position, but must instead start from the back. Once all cars have safely taken up their grid positions at the end of the formation lap five red lights will appear in sequence at one-second intervals. These red lights are then extinguished to signal the start of the race. If a driver has a problem on the grid immediately prior to the start he must raise his arm and the start will be aborted. A new formation lap, which will count towards the race distance, will then be completed. The only exceptions to these start procedures are connected to the weather. If it starts to rain in the three minutes prior to the start then the abort lights will come on and the starting procedure will revert to the 10-minute point to allow teams to change to appropriate tyres. If the weather is exceptionally bad the race director may choose to abort the start and resume the starting procedure only when conditions have improved. Alternatively, he may decide to start the race behind the safety car.
40
41
Refuelling
Safety car
During practice, refuelling is only permitted in a team’s garage area. The driver may remain in the car, but the engine must be stopped. All personnel working on the car must wear protective fire-resistant clothing and an assistant carrying a suitable fire extinguisher must be beside the car during refuelling.
The safety car’s main function, as its name implies, is to assist in maintaining safe track conditions throughout the Grand Prix weekend. It is driven by an experienced circuit driver and carries an FIA observer who is in permanent radio contact with race control.
Teams are free to alter their cars’ fuel loads at will during practice and qualifying. However, no refuelling is allowed during the race.
If an accident or incident occurs that is not severe enough to warrant suspending the race, but which cannot be dealt with under yellow flags, then the safety car will be called on to the circuit to slow the cars down. It will come on to the circuit with its orange lights on and all drivers must form a queue behind it with no overtaking allowed. The safety car will signal backmarkers to pass by using its green light until the race leader is immediately behind it. If the incident that brought out the safety car has blocked the pit straight, the clerk of the course may direct the safety car to lead the field through the pit lane. Cars are free to stop at their pit garage should this happen. When the safety car is ready to leave the circuit it extinguishes its orange lights, indicating to the drivers that it will peel off into the pits at the end of the current lap. The drivers then continue in formation until they cross the start-finish line where green lights will indicate that they are free to race again. In exceptional circumstances, such as in extremely poor weather, a race may begin behind the safety car, which will put its orange lights on at least a minute before the start to indicate this. When those lights switch to green the safety car will lead the field around the circuit in grid order. Overtaking on this first lap is not allowed, unless a car has a problem. The safety car will peel into the pits at the end of the lap and drivers are free to race once they have crossed the line to commence the next lap. All laps completed behind the safety car count as race laps.

Scrutineering and weighing
Spare cars, engines, gearboxes and homologated parts
Weight - FIA Scrutineering area and weighbridge. Formula One World Championship, Rd 16, Chinese Grand Prix, Race Day, Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China, 1 October 2006. World © Bumstead/Sutton
FIA regulations state that teams may have no more than two cars available for use at any one time. Spare cars are no longer allowed, though teams may bring additional chassis which can be built up in the event of a race chassis being damaged beyond repair.
A team of specially appointed scrutineers has the power to check cars at any point during a Grand Prix weekend to ensure that they fully comply with technical and safety regulations. Every car is initially examined on the Thursday of a race meeting (Wednesday at Monaco) and a car cannot take part in the event until it has passed scrutineering. A car must be re-examined by scrutineers if any significant changes are made to it by the team or if it is involved in an accident. In addition to scrutineering, cars are also weighed throughout the Grand Prix weekend to ensure that they comply with minimum weight requirements (620kg). During practice and qualifying cars are called in at random to be weighed. After the race every car and driver is weighed. Any competitor failing to meet the minimum weight may lose their qualifying times or be excluded from the race results unless this is due to the accidental loss of part of the car.
44
If a driver switches car between qualifying and the race then he must start the race from the pit lane. A change of car is not allowed once the race has started. There are also restrictions on engine and gearbox use. Each driver may use no more than eight engines during a championship season. Should a driver use more than eight engines, he will drop 10 places on the starting grid of the event at which an additional unit is to be used. Each driver may use no more than one gearbox for four consecutive events. Every unscheduled gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid at that meeting. Every subsequent unscheduled gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid. If a driver fails to finish a race due to reasons beyond his or his team’s control, he may start the next meeting with a different gearbox without incurring a penalty.
45
Suspending and resuming a race
Safety car leads the field. Formula One World Championship, Rd 4, Spanish Grand Prix, Race, Barcelona, Spain, Sunday, 27 April 2008 The red flag is shown during practice. Formula One World Championship, Rd 6, Monaco Grand Prix, Qualifying Day, Monte-Carlo, Monaco, Saturday, 24 May 2008 If a race is suspended because of an accident or poor track conditions then red flags will be shown around the circuit. When this happens, the pit exit will be closed and all cars on track must proceed slowly to the red flag line without overtaking and then stop in staggered formation with the leading car at the front. Any driver pitting after the red flag signal will be given a drive-through penalty. The safety car will then be driven to the front of the queue. While the race is suspended team members may come onto the track to work on the cars, but refuelling is not allowed. Cars that were already in the pits when the red flag signal was given may be worked on there. These cars, and any that enter the pits while the race is suspended, may only rejoin the track once the race has been resumed.
Testing
As the sport’s technical demands have grown in recent years, so too has the importance of testing. But with the FIA ever mindful of rising costs, since 2009 teams have been limited to 15,000 test kilometres during a calendar year. Young driver training (one three-day test per year) and promotional events do not count towards this tally. Testing can only take place at FIA-approved sites and, ahead of a session, teams must inform the governing body of their schedule so that an observer can be appointed if deemed necessary. All cars must be fitted with the standardised, FIA-approved Electronic Control Unit during tests. Since 2009, testing during the race season itself has been banned (from the week preceding the first Grand Prix to December 31), with the exception of a small number of straight-line aero tests. There are also restrictions on wind tunnel testing - the scale models used may be no larger than 60 percent and speeds are limited to 50 metres per second.
At least a ten minute warning will be given before the race is resumed behind the safety car, which will lead the field for one lap before pulling into the pits. As usual, overtaking behind the safety car is forbidden. If for whatever reason it is impossible to resume the race, the rules state that “the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race was given”.

47
Tyres
Bridgestone tyres. Formula One World Championship, Rd 15, Japanese Grand Prix, Qualifying Day, Suzuka, Japan, Saturday, 3 October 2009 Formula One racing features a single tyre supplier, with all teams using identical Bridgestone rubber. The advantages of this (over multiple tyre suppliers) include closer racing and reduced testing and development costs. At each Grand Prix every team is given access to two specifications of dry-weather tyre. Unless conditions are wet, drivers must use both specifications during the race. A green band on the sidewall of the softer compound allows spectators to distinguish which tyre a driver is on. Over the race weekend, each driver has access to 11 sets of dry-weather tyres (six of the harder ‘prime’ specification and five of the softer ‘option’ specification), four sets of intermediate tyres and three sets of wet tyres. During Friday’s first and second practice sessions the drivers are only allowed to use three sets of dry-weather tyres (two ‘primes, one ‘option’). One set of ‘prime’ tyres must be returned to the tyre supplier before Practice Two, and one set of each specification before the start of Practice Three. A driver will then be allocated eight further sets of dry-weather tyres (four of each specification) to use over the rest of the event, but one set of each spec must be returned to the tyre supplier before the start of Saturday’s qualifying session. At the start of the race the cars that took part in Q3 must be fitted with the tyres the driver used to set his grid time. Teams are free to use wet tyres as they see fit during qualifying and the race. However, during the preceding practice sessions, they may only be used if the track has been declared wet by the race director. If a race is started behind the safety car due to heavy rain, the use of wet tyres is compulsory. All tyres are given a bar code at the start of the weekend so that the FIA can closely monitor their use and ensure that no team is breaking regulations.

PREVIEW: 2010 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX GET READY FOR A SPECIAL SEASON AND A SENSATIONAL MALAYSIAN GP
Twenty-Ten – 2010 - marks SIC’s eleventh year in operations. Growing for its initial national duty of organising Formula 1 and promoting Malaysia as an international tourism destination to the role of Malaysia’s Home of Motorsports, SIC, officially established on January 29, 1999 and launched two months later on March 9, has shown that it is more than just a racing track. Taking a more active role in developing local talents and building future world champions via close collaboration with its partners, SIC will continue to give strong emphasis in its primary role to provide world class services in an expanded calendar of events for 2010.

Season 2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship; and Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Razlan Ahmad Razali personally believes it is going to be more special than the previous editions especially for fans in Malaysia. “Don’t get me wrong … I enjoyed all the F1 races from the first day that I was introduced to this incredible sports. But, sincerely, I feel that this year will be very special. It’s not just me saying it; but a lot of other die-hard fans like myself,” said the 39-year old self-confessed motor racing fanatic. “There are many reasons why the 2010 Formula 1 race this year will be the most exciting ever. For one, there’s no clear favourite this season … none of the top drivers this year can claim they have clear cut advantage over their rivals. “Secondly, they are four active world champions on the starting grid and I believe this is unprecedented … there’s the youngest world champion Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, who was the youngest champion before him. Then, there’s the unlikely champion of 2009, Jenson Button and of course, there is also the legendary Michael Schumacher … the seven-time world champion who is making a comeback at the age of 41this year. “The return of Michael Schumacher with the Mercedes GP PETRONAS team has indeed fuelled further this euphoria of F1 fever in Malaysia as well as in our neighbouring countries especially in Indonesia and Singapore,” said Razlan, who admitted that he is among millions worldwide who adore Schumacher and happy that the German had returned to racing. He added: “Then, there’s also the hugely talented Sebastian Vettel, who is labeled as the next Michael Schumacher. He is undoubtedly a realistic contender for this year’s world crown,” said Razlan, who is the event director for the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix. Razlan also said that the entry of three new teams - Lotus Racing, Virgin and Hispania Racing Team – would provide further excitement and ‘an added spice’ to the world championship as they would effectively create their own league of competition to be ‘the best of the rookies’. “And, from Malaysia’s point of view, there is tremendous excitement within Malaysia as well as the F1 community and its strong following worldwide with the return of the Lotus name in Lotus Racing Team … a Malaysian team founded by Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes. “This, indeed, is a great leap and progress for Malaysia as a country, for all Malaysians and South East Asia as it is the region’s first F1 team. Personally, I can’t wait for the start for the season,” said Razlan, who previously ran a highly successful local outfit Pineapple Motorsports Racing Team before taking over the helm of SIC. The new season opens this weekend in Bahrain from March 12 to 14; and Malaysia will host Round 3 of an expanded 19-round world championship this season from April 2 to 4. Australia hosts the second round from March 26 to 28 at Albert Park in Melbourne. In a season featuring the old and new, debutant Hispanic Racing F1 would be featuring a partnership of F1 rookies Karun Chandhok and Brazilian Bruno Senna, who is the nephew of the late Ayrton Senna. The other rookies would be Russian Vitaly Petrov of Renault F1 Team and Williams’ Nico Hulkenberg of Germany. Malaysian Fairuz Fauzy, a former test driver for Spyker team - is the reserve driver for Team Lotus Racing, which features GP winners Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen.

The full list of competing teams writes McLaren with drivers Hamilton and Button; Mercedes GP PETRONAS (Schumacher and Nico Rosberg); Scuderia Ferrari (Alonso and Felipe Massa); Red Bull Racing (Vettel and Mark Webber); Sauber (Pedro de la Rosa and Kamui Kobayashi); Williams (Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg); Force India (Vitantonio Luizzi and Adrian Sutil), Torro Rosso (Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastian Buemi); Virgin Racing (Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi); Hispania Racing F1 (Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok), Renault (Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov) and Lotus Racing with Trulli and Kovalainen behind the steering wheels. Razlan said: “It will be a very long season with 19 rounds and clearly one that will be very difficult to predict. But, one thing that I can guarantee is that the race in Sepang would be one thrilling affair that no racing fan would want to miss,” added Razlan. Marking its 12th edition this year, the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix would have an unprecedented start at 4pm – an hour earlier than last year’s race, which was disrupted by a tropical rainstorm. In a bid to provide better viewing times for the European market, the Sepang race was started at 5pm instead of the traditional 3pm. Heavy showers, however, forced the race to be stopped midway through the contest on grounds of safety. After a long wait under their umbrellas, the race stewards finally decided to call in the drivers and end the race due to failing light as darkness became to creep in; giving Jenson Button the race win but with points scored cut half. “It is a good compromise … starting at 4pm would provide cooler conditions for the teams and drivers while remaining to be ideal for TV viewers in Europe. It would also provide enough daylight in case that the race is being delayed due to unforeseen circumstances,” said Razlan, who is confident of a good turnout this year especially in view of strong promotion campaigns by SIC and its partners. In promoting the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix, SIC has embarked on an aggressive ‘I Love F1’ campaign, which is aim at driving greater interest among the Malaysian public and fans worldwide for the sports. “We have limited edition ‘I Love F1’ T-shirts, badges and other merchandise items to spread this message. It is aimed at creating greater awareness and generating stronger excitement among the fans,” said Razlan, who hoped that fans would come to the circuit dressed in the unique ‘I Love F1’ T-shirts. The climax of the campaign would be a special performance themed ‘I Love F1’ by some 300 Malaysian youths at the opening ceremony for the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix. The performance, which would put on show an harmonious multi-racial Malaysia, was also to reflect the Government’s 1Malaysia campaign. Despite already being in Malaysia since 1999, SIC felt that there would were still many areas that could be exploited to reap in greater benefits from the sports especially with the entry of Malaysia’s own Lotus Racing in the world championship this year. Like the composition of the competing drivers, off-track events in support of the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix would also be a combination of old and new with the free children’s pit walkabout as among the new additions. “This will be happening on Friday. Entry to the circuit and the pit lane is free for adults if they are accompanied by their children. This is to engage children and youths in Formula One and to get them closer and more personal to the sports. “We will also have special lucky draws for ticket holders only. We are balloting 10 pairs of passes for the ticket holders to upgrade their current tickets to paddock club passes worth RM15,000 on Saturday. “There will be a further draw of the five pairs for Sunday paddock passes and a further 2 will be balloted for the pass holders to watch the race at the team’s pit wall or pit garage. Clearly, these are unique experiences that money cannot buy,” said Razlan.

According to him, SIC was also working hard to bring back the RMAF Aerial display over three days, which had been a permanent feature of the Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix until 2004. Taking cue from the success of last year’s post race concert that featured Jamiroquai, SIC had lined up an even bigger show for 2010 with world famous humanitarian hip hop and reggae artist Wyclef Jean and the pioneer of electronic dance genre Fatboy Slim after the conclusion of the race. Away from the circuit, SIC’s strongest associates Tourism Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur City Hall and title sponsor PETRONAS would be working closely to transform Kuala Lumpur into the KL Grand Prix City. Events associated to the F1 race included the nationwide month-long Malaysian GP Sale, the International Shoe Festival, Classic F1 Static Display, the F1 Gala Cocktail featuring Lionel Ritchie and the F1 track demonstration by Mercedes GP PETRONAS drivers – Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg on March 31 at the outskirts of Suria KLCC. “As in previous years, all the competing team would also have their own programmes around the city prior to the race especially to bring their drivers to the fans. I expect they would be making their announcements public closer to the race. It will be one exciting week packed with exciting programmes,” added Razlan. With tickets as low as RM100, the 2010 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix provides the cheapest ticket as compared to any other F1 venue, underlining further the reason for fans not to miss this world’s most prestigious motor racing event.

HISTORY OF SEPANG CIRCUIT
Sepang F1 Circuit is undoubtedly a landmark for the motoring fraternity. Malaysia has virtually set a minimum standard for future F1 circuits around the world, the general opinion of the motorsports world, with the construction of Malaysia’s Home of Motorsports. Sculptured on a 260 hectare oil palm plantation, Sepang F1 circuit sets records from the moment it had its earth-breaking ceremony. Built with the concept of a ‘natural stadium’, it required more than 9 million cubic meters of earth to be removed. To retain its scenic green, more than 5,000 palm trees were planted around the circuit. As time goes by, more trees were planted further adding to the beauty of the circuit. The 5,543 meter long track features 15 corners and 8 straights including two high-speed stretches. With a minimum width of 16 meters, the track allows ample opportunities for overtaking, ensuring a suspenseful and thrilling race. The widest part of the track spreads up to 22 meters. The unique criterion of the circuit is that it can be split in to two circuits when required. The split circuits are situated on both sides of the circuit, the north side, and the south side with lengths of 2.8 km and 2.6 km respectively, thus allowing two races to run concurrently.
When you first step foot at the circuit, you will pass through the Welcome Center, the gateway to the grandstand and the nerve center for the circuits administrative activities. Apart from housing offices, the Welcome Center also houses a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and an automotive museum. The heart and focal point of the circuit is the Pit Building. Facing the main grandstand, all the racing facilities are housed here: 33 pits, race control center, time-keeping room, paddock clubs, and race management offices. Each of the fully air-conditioned pit boxes are 8 meters wide, and 24 meters long. Each block of two pits has three air-conditioned offices equipped with telecommunication lines, team common room (team hospitality area), and a kitchen.
CIRCUIT MAP
The track is built using a specially formulated bitumen compound, which is smooth and not too abrasive to suit the Malaysian climate and year-round use. Smooth river stones were used for the gravel beds along the track.
The exclusive paddock clubs on the first floor comes with their own parking and private access. For royal and VVIP guests, there is the Perdana Suite situated on the second floor of the pit building that can accommodate 250 people. A landscaped mall area has been designed with the purpose of connecting the north and south grandstand to form the Main Grandstand area. In the main grandstand is the prime location for trade and vending, exhibition, food and beverage, amenities, and souvenir outlets during any racing event.

2010 Formula BMW Pacific Media Information
Formula BMW is the world’s leading entry-level series in junior formula racing, and is firmly established as the first choice for fledging racing talent in the Asia Pacific region. It has become so successful that 2010 sees not only the largest Formula BMW Pacific entry to date, but also the most international.
Formula BMW provides a number of crucial tools to help fledgling talent make the transition from karts into single seater racing cars. First is the FB02, which has been in use since the 2002 season and is powered by a 140 hp BMW engine that reaches speeds of 230 km/hr.
Established in 2003, and this weekend beginning its eighth season, Formula BMW Pacific sees two of its alumni reach Formula 1 this year. Formula BMW Junior in 2006, Daniel Ricciardo is test and reserve driver for Red Bull Racing, while inaugural Formula BMW Asia champion Ho Ping Tung has become the first Chinese driver to reach the pinnacle of motorsport as Renault F1 Team’s third driver.
The vehicle ranks among the safest in its category, exceeding the FIA safety regulations for this class of car. Formula BMW was the first single-seater series outside of the United States for which the HANS system was made mandatory. The innovative FORS (Formula Rescue Seat) was developed by BMW Motorsport specifically for Formula BMW.
Formula BMW Pacific utilises the decades of BMW Motorsport racing success and expertise, providing young talent with the optimum platform from which to enter professional motorsport.
The 2010 Formula BMW Pacific season will begin in support of the Petronas Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend, followed by a further four races at the same track as part of the Asian Festival of Speed (AFOS) in May.
All Formula BMW Pacific drivers have the opportunity to take part in the Education and Coaching programme, which runs in conjunction with the racing season. The programme includes driver coaching, race tuition, technical and fitness training, and courses on media, public relations and sponsorship. The series provides a number of scholarships which are awarded following comprehensive driver trials and evaluations. Each scholarship comprises a 50.000 Euro cash contribution towards the Formula BMW Pacific season, plus free-of-charge participation in the Education & Coaching programme. In 2010, Formula BMW Pacific scholarships have been awarded to Jesse Dixon (Atlantic Racing Team) and Jordan Oon (E-Rain Racing), both of Australia, and Kotaro Sakurai (Eurasia Motorsport) racing for the Philippines.
The series will then take a summer break before a second AFOS event at the new Korean International Circuit scheduled for August. In September, two rounds will be held on the Marina Bay street circuit in support of the 2010 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix. A third Formula 1 support event, this time at the 2010 Formula 1 Korean Grand Prix is scheduled for October, with the season finale part of the 57th Macau Grand Prix. Information and copyright free Formula BMW images for press purposes are available at the BMW Motorsport Press Club at www.press.bmw-motorsport.com (no registration is required). For more information, please contact Nikki Kemp on
[email protected], tel: +852 2575 6995.
Three drivers return for a second season in 2010: Dustin Sofyan of Indonesia and Malaysians Calvin Wong and Fahmi Ilyas. Their experience will be important as they go up against the field competing for the overall Drivers Classification and the Rookie Cup. These drivers include: The three Formula BMW Pacific Juniors; Sofyan’s Meritus teammates Afiq Yazid of Malaysia, Pasin Lathouras of Thailand and Colombian Oscar Tunjo; Ilyas’s teammate and compatriot Chang Mun Shien; Wong’s Petronas Mofaz Racing teammates and fellow countrymen Ryan Ritchie, Natasha Seatter and Amirrul Khirudin; and Sakurai’s Eurasia Motorsport teammates Australian Duvashen Padayachee, Briton Richard Bradley and Malaysian Nabil Jeffri, who is supported by the Lotus-Cosworth F1 team. E-Rain Racing’s S.H. Tom Mun of Korea will also be in the race for the Drivers’ title, while Asia Racing Team’s Suriya Bala Kerisnan of Singapore contests his first full season of Formula BMW Pacific having has his first taste of the series as a guest driver in 2009. For the opening races of the 2010 season here in Malaysia, Eurointernational will field a team of three guest drivers: American Michael Lewis, and Russian Daniil Kvyat, and Spaniard Carlos Sainz Jr, Formula BMW Junior driver and son of the former FIA World Rally Champion and Paris-Dakar Rally winner. Both Kvyat and Sainz Jr, who is also a 2010 Formula BMW Junior, are Red Bull Juniors. In the Asia-Pacific region, Formula BMW Pacific has been hugely successful since its inauguration in 2003, and has already made remarkable strides in helping young karters launch international motorsport careers.
