What a fix, who is this guy?

Theres no chance he's going to win it.

Obviously when hes driving a Toro Rosso. He's new and has had previous success in other motorsport.

A number of changes to both the Sporting and Technical Regulations have been made by the FIA for the 2008 Formula One season.

Traction and launch control

Traction control - systems which prevent the rear wheels spinning if a driver applies too much power - are no longer permitted. This will place more emphasis on driver skill and should lead to more overtaking, as drivers are more likely to make mistakes. Similarly, systems that help the driver hold the clutch at a specific point to ensure an optimal getaway at the race start, have been outlawed.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs)

From 2008, all teams must use a standardised, FIA-approved ECU to control their cars' electronics. AS well as providing a more level playing field in this area of development, the new ECU - which must run FIA-approved software - will allow the FIA to monitor the cars' performance more closely.

Engine changes

As in 2007, drivers must use the same engine for two consecutive events. If that engine fails in final practice or qualifying and has to be changed ahead of the race, the driver will be given a grid penalty - 10 places if the change was made before qualifying, or the back of the grid if it was made following qualifying.

However, in an amendment for 2008, each driver is allowed one ‘free’ change per season, unless that change takes place at the final round. In other words, he will not incur a penalty for his first engine failure of the year, as long it is not at the last event.

Gearboxes

In a bid to further improve reliability and cut costs, gearboxes must now last for four consecutive Grand Prix meetings. Every unscheduled gearbox change will require the relevant driver to drop five places on the grid at that meeting. If a driver fails to finish a race, he may start the next meeting with a new gearbox without incurring a penalty.

Qualifying

In a very slight tweak to the familiar knockout qualifying format, the duration of Q1 has been increased from 15 to 20 minutes, while that of Q3 has been cut from 15 to 10. Q2 remains 15-minutes long. Furthermore, cars participating in Q3 will no longer get back the fuel used in that session - they must now start the race with whatever fuel was left in the car at the end of qualifying, thus eliminating the need for the infamous 'fuel-burning' phase at the start of Q3.

Cockpit safety

One of the slightly more visible differences to the cars this season will be an increase in the height of the cockpit padding - and hence the cockpit sides - on either side of the driver’s helmet, a change that has been implemented to further increase head protection in the event of an impact.

Biofuel

As part of moves to make Formula One racing ever more environmentally friendly, the FIA has introduced a new rule governing fuel. From 2008, at least 5.75 percent of all fuel must contain biomatter and, as a result, all cars must be designed to be biofuel compliant.

One of Formula One racing’s greatest assets is its ability to renew itself. It’s what gives this fantastic sport its appeal, that sense that nothing stands still.

Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari are the world champions, after a gripping, if controversial, 2007 season when the action on the track between the Scuderia and McLaren reached fever pitch. But what are their chances of retaining the titles? Having come so close in his rookie season, can Lewis Hamilton win redemption for McLaren by going one better in 2008?

Testing form is notoriously difficult to read - you never know for certain what fuel load or set-up a team is running at any one particular time - but there are always the indications to be had, and that’s another fascinating aspect.

Over the winter, Ferrari appeared to make a step forward even on their late 2007 form. McLaren, however, hit back with very quick times in Barcelona, where the track mercilessly highlights any shortcomings with its wide range of corners.

There is broad agreement that, barring lack of reliability, these two teams will have a lock on winning, but which of their drivers will come to the fore? Will Felipe Massa be able to raise his game and challenge Raikkonen? Will Heikki Kovalainen, who has been very quick in testing, be able to do to Hamilton what Hamilton did to Fernando Alonso last year? Both teams say they do not have number-one drivers, and that each has total equality, so hold on to your hats.

Then there is the fight to be third. Last year that was pretty much the preserve of BMW Sauber, but the signs are that they will have fearsome opposition. Williams have looked very strong in testing. Renault, despite gloomy predictions from Alonso, will be in there sooner or later, as may be Red Bull and perhaps even Toro Rosso and Toyota. It is going to be another of those seasons where the lesser lights will be praying for the stars to suffer unreliability, and where any star whose car breaks will be cursing his misfortune. Watch out for intense, no-holds-barred racing all down the field, even in the lower midfield where Honda will be doing all they can to stay ahead of Force India and Super Aguri.

The renewal is not confined to what happens on the track. In two cases, it is the tracks themselves that are new, with exciting new street venues in Valencia, for the European Grand Prix, and Singapore. Both will take the racing to the people in exotic locations. But the latter will also usher in a new era, as it will introduce the fascination of Formula One’s first-ever night race in September - a further indication that the sport never misses a trick in evolving itself for the fans’ benefit.

This is always the time of year when anything is possible, a great point at which to let one’s expectations for the campaign ahead to be coloured by the excitement of the previous season. As things stand, at least four drivers may be vying for the world championship in November. So don’t go away. This is where the fun really starts.
