The 2009 Formula One season will be the 60th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It will be the second season under the new Concorde Agreement. As it stands, there are a total of seven teams (plus Prodrive that will debut in the 2009 season) signed up to compete in the championship through an agreement with Formula One Management, while the other four major manufacturers in the Grand Prix Manufacturers’ Association (GPMA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix to compete in the 2008 season.
2009 Race Schedule
Calendar Changes
- On February 3rd, 2007 it was announced that a new race in Abu Dhabi known as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be added to the 2009 calendar as part of Formula One's expansion in the Middle East. The race will take place at the Yas Island Circuit which is currently being bult on Yas Island by the construction company Aldar. According to the countdown on the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix website, the race will take place on Saturday January 31st, 2009.
- After being dropped in 2007 to the Fuji Speedway, the Suzuka Circuit will return to host the Japanese Grand Prix in 2009. The race will then alternate between the two circuits.
- After the 2006 United States Grand Prix, Bernie Ecclestone and Ron Dennis announced the possibility of a new Grand Prix in South Korea entering in 2009. It has now been revealed though that the Korean Grand Prix will take place from 2010 at the soon-to-be built Korean International Circuit. In addition to this, India has been confirmed on the Grand Prix calendar in 2010 with the Indian Grand Prix taking place in Delhi.
Rumours
- Bernie Ecclestone announced that a Russian Grand Prix could be a reality.

Speculated 2009 Race Schedule
Regulations
On 22nd December 2006, the FIA released the technical regulations for the 2009 season.
Along with changes to bodywork, vehicle weight and tyre size, the document includes details of a "Kinetic Energy Recovery System", or KERS. This is a regenerative brake device that is designed to recover some of the vehicle's kinetic energy that is normally dissipated as heat during braking. The recovered energy could be stored electrically, in a battery or supercapacitor, or mechanically, in a flywheel, for use as a source of additional accelerative power at the driver's discretion.
There will also be a cap on team budgets starting in the 2009 season.
Rumoured Regulation Changes
- After being banned since 1998, slick tyres are likely to return to Formula One racing.
- Tyre-warming blankets banned
