Sebastian Vettel will enter the season as the defending World Champion

The 2011 Formula One season will be the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The calendar will expand to twenty rounds – the longest season in the sport's sixty-year history – with the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix.[1] Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone.[2] Red Bull Racing enter 2011 as the reigning Constructor's Champions. Sebastian Vettel will be the defending Driver's Champion.

Pre-season

The pre-season testing season began immediately after the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a three-day 'Young Driver Test' (for drivers with fewer than three Formula One race starts to their name) at the Yas Marina Circuit. Formula Renault 3.5 runner-up Daniel Ricciardo consistently set the fastest times over the three days, driving for new champions Red Bull Racing.

The Young Driver Tests were followed by another testing session – also held at Yas Marina – for the teams to test the tyres developed by new tyre supplier Pirelli. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was the fastest during the tests, with many drivers declaring their satisfaction with the new tyres, particularly given Pirelli's short development window. Sebastian Vettel experienced an explosive puncture on the final day, though an investigation by Pirelli attributed the incident to debris on the circuit.

Teams and drivers

After a dispute between the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) and the FIA in the first half of 2009, a new Concorde Agreement was signed on 1 August 2009 by the then FIA president Max Mosley and all of the existing teams at the time. The new agreement provides for a continuation of the terms of the 1998 agreement, and runs until 31 December 2012.[22] The FIA published a provisional entry list on 30 November 2010, which was revised on 2 December 2010.[23]

Notes:

‡ - On 6th February, Robert Kubica was injured while competing in the Ronde di Andora rally, leaving him with multiple fractures to his arm, hand and leg. It has been suggested that the nature of his injuries are likely to prevent him from beginning the season,[61] while the surgeon who operated on Kubica has said that his recovery could take up to an entire year.[62]

New entries process

Following USF1's inability to make the grid in 2010, the FIA opened a new selection process to find an additional team to occupy the empty slot, as well as possible reserve entrants for the event of other withdrawals.[63] Fifteen entry bids were reported to have been received,[64] including ART Grand Prix, winners of several championships in feeder series;[65] previous 2010 applicants Stefan Grand Prix and World Series by Renault team Epsilon Euskadi;[66][67] and a joint effort by 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve with Durango, the former Italian GP2 team that had encountered financial difficulties.[68] However the number of applicants declined, as ART Grand Prix and Cypher, the renamed USF1 operation, withdrew their entries,[69][70] and the FIA decided ahead of the 2010 Italian Grand Prix that none of the prospective entrants met the minimum funding or engineering requirements, leaving the grid slot vacant.[71]

Following the confirmation that there would be no new additions to the grid for 2011, Joan Villadelprat of Epsilon Euskadi and Jacques Villeneuve of the combined Villeneuve-Durango teams both announced that they would still attempt to join the grid for 2011,[72][73] exploring the possibilities of taking over an existing team. Villeneuve later admitted to exploring possibilities outside of Formula One, including extending his NASCAR Nationwide Cup campaign, or moving to Australia to pursue possibilities in the V8 Supercar Series.[74]

Team changes

  • BMW Sauber announced in July 2010 that it will revert to the name Sauber in 2011. The team was forced to retain the BMW naming for 2010 due to issues involving television rights money that would not have been paid had the team changed their name.[48]
  • After a Williams demonstration run in Caracas, it was confirmed that Venezuelan state-controlled oil company PDVSA would enter into a long-term sponsorship deal with the team,[75] replacing outgoing sponsors RBS, Philips and AirAsia.
  • Hispania announced several major partnerships in November 2010. Chief among these was an arrangement that will see Williams supply the Murcia-based team with transmission systems for the 2011 season,[76] whilst forming a partnership with Spanish businessman Juan Villalonga, who was previously affiliated with Minardi as CEO of Telefónica.[77]
  • Lotus Racing team principal Tony Fernandes purchased the rights to the Team Lotus name from David Hunt, with the intention of renaming the team to reflect its historical counterpart for the 2011 season.[78] The use of the Team Lotus name led to a naming dispute with Lotus Cars. The team announced that they had terminated their three-year contract with engine supplier Cosworth;[79] and will use Renault engines from 2011.[80]
  • On 8 December, 2010, Lotus Cars announced a partnership with Renault F1 that saw the British sports car manufacturer become title sponsor,[81] with a view to taking full control over the next few years.[81] Confusion over the exact status over ownership of the team led team principal Eric Boullier to clarify that Genii Capital has full ownership of the team,[82] with former owners Renault retreating to a position as engine supplier. The team will be known as Lotus Renault GP,[83] and the chassis and constuctor will still be known as Renault for reasons related to the Concorde Agreement, similar to Sauber retaining the "BMW Sauber" name in 2010 despite the departure of BMW at the end of 2009. Lotus Renault have also unveiled plans for their 2011 car to be run in a black-and-gold livery.
  • After sponsoring the team for the 2010 season, Russian sports car manufacturer Marussia acquired what they termed a "significant stake" of Virgin Racing, with the team changing its name to Marussia Virgin Racing.[57] Further reports confirmed that Marussia had purchased a controlling stake in the team,[84] securing their future until 2014.

Rule changes

  • 2011 will see the return of the 107% rule in qualifying.[2][99] Under this arrangement, any driver who fails to set a time within 107% of the fastest lap in Q1 (the rule won't apply in Q2 and Q3) will not be permitted to take part in the race; for instance, if the fastest lap is 1 minute 40 seconds, a driver must set a time faster than 1 minute 47 seconds in order to make it to the grid.
  • The FIA increased the maximum allowable penalty which racing stewards can issue to teams from $100,000 to $250,000, after the 2010 German Grand Prix where Ferrari were fined one hundred thousand dollars for the use of team orders.[100] Following the final race of the 2010 season, FIA President Jean Todt revealed his stance on the use of team orders, promising regulation of the practice rather than allowing them outright.[101] Todt disclosed that while team orders would not be banned, any team using coded instructions would be prosecuted as such messages would be used to deceive spectators and would require teams and drivers to lie to stewards in order to substantiate the claims made in the message.
  • Sole tyre supplier Bridgestone announced that it would not renew its contract with Formula One at the end of the 2010 season.[102] After several months of deliberation, Pirelli was chosen as the tyre supplier for 2011 at the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Geneva, in June 2010.[2][103] The twelve teams moved to establish a close alliance with Pirelli to prevent any individual team gaining an unfair advantage, through the sharing of all tyre information.[104] Cars will have a mandatory weight distribution, reported to be a ratio of 46:54, to provide Pirelli with a technical specification, and preventing teams making changes to the internal configuration of their cars should they prove not to suit the cars.[105] During the first test session of the season in Valencia, several drivers reported that they experienced much greater wear when using the Pirelli tyres, with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton suggesting that more than one tyre stop would be necessary in the races.[106]
  • Several technical rule changes have been introduced for 2011, including the following:[107]
  • The maximum height of the diffuser will be cut from 175 millimetres (6.9 in) to 125 millimetres (4.9 in) and the double diffuser designs, introduced in the 2009 season, will be excluded, in order to reduce aerodynamic downforce and turbulent air.[108] Also banned are double exhaust-blown diffusers, which use exhaust gases re-routed over the diffuser to increase downforce[107], although single blown diffusers are still allowed.[109]
  • Also banned are the "F-duct" systems, developed by McLaren and copied by other teams, as the system relying on drivers blocking a gap in the cockpit was judged unsafe.[110]
  • An adjustable rear wing system was confirmed as an addition to the 2011 rules, designed to aid overtaking as a substitute for the F-duct system.[2] In a similar system to the KERS regulator used in 2009, the adjustable rear wing would only be available under certain conditions; namely, drivers will only be able to use it when they are within one second of the car in front, but it would not be usable within the first two laps of a race except in the case of an early safety car. Furthermore, the drivers will only be able to use the adjustable wing on a designated area of the circuit, to be decided by race director Charlie Whiting.[111] The system is expected to offer drivers an additional 15 km/h (9.3 mph) when passing,[112] and will deactivate when the driver first touches the brakes after using the rear wing. The concept, which has been negatively received by drivers and fans alike,[113] could be dropped if it proves impractical or unmanageable.[114] In order to illustrate the effect of the adjustable rear wing, all circuits will have special track markings in a designated area of the circuit, the only place where the adjustable wing can be used.[115] This designated overtaking zone will encompass the final six hundred metres of a circuit's main straight, with the circuit markings designed to show the difference between the cars when they are one second apart.
  • The number of wheel tethers – the load-bearing cables connecting the wheel hubs to the bodywork – will be doubled for 2011, in response to an increasing number of accidents where wheels have been torn free of their mountings, including the death of Henry Surtees in a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch in 2009.[116]
  • Several smaller aerodynamic devices introduced for 2010 have also been banned, including "shark fins" - an additional fin attached to the engine cowling - that connect to the rear wing, the "bladed" rollbar structure pioneered by Mercedes to decrease the obstruction of air to the rear wing, aerodynamic wheel spokes, flexible front splitters designed to lower front ride height, and modifications to the monocoque that create a V-shaped channel running the length of the car's nose.[107]
  • KERS units will be optional for all teams, after not being utilised in 2010 following a team agreement banning the devices.[117] Although a proposal by Flybrid to provide mandatory units to the entire grid was not approved, to encourage all teams to run the system the minimum weight of the car will increase from 620 kilograms (1,367 lb) to 640 kilograms (1,411 lb), compensating for the extra weight required.[117]
  • Gearboxes must now last for five races instead of four.[118] Drivers will have one additional gearbox that may be changed without penalty for the purposes of completing an event.[119]
  • The FIA has tightened its driving standards, moving to prevent overly-aggressive driving and driving beyond the boundaries of the circuit to gain an advantage by implementing stricter penalties for drivers observed to be doing so.[120]
  • A curfew has been implemented, barring team personnel from accessing the circuit between the hours of midnight and six o'clock in the morning following concerns over mechanics spending all night performing repairs in the pit garage and the following day in the busy pit lane.[119]
