Engine Size — Engines are reduced in size from last year's 3.0-litre V10s to 2.4-litre V8s. As with any new F1 rule change, the idea is to reduce costs and improve safety.  This is Formula One, not kindergarden. These reduced engines are predicted to add at least 5 seconds to lap times. Some less-financed teams may elect to run 2005 specification V10s modified to limit revolutions which will be  comparable to the V8 performance.

Qualifying Format — Gone is the single lap qualifying that everyone found so boring last year. For 2006, there will be three rounds of fast laps with the five slowest drivers being knocked out of each round and assigned the back places on the starting grid. This new plan could make the qualifying sessions as exciting to watch as the actual races.

Tyre Changes — The FIA has dropped its rule about cars driving on one set of tyres the whole race weekend. The rule was intended as a cost-saving measure, but was rather unsafe. We witnessed too many blowouts in 2005 for this rule to continue. For the new season, tyre changes will be allowed, but the teams will be limited to seven sets of
dry-weather, four sets of wet-weather and three sets of extreme-weather tires during the race weekend. Drivers must make their final dry-weather tyre selection before qualifying.
