2009 FIA Formula OneWorld Championship Previous ] Next ]
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 race from the 2008 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.
After the 2006 United States Grand Prix, Bernie Ecclestone and Ron Dennis announced the possibility of two new Grands Prix entering in this season, in South Korea and Mexico (but not in Cancun, as originally rumored). It has now been revealed though that the former will take place from 2010 and will be named Korean Grand Prix. Ecclestone also discussed the want for a 2nd United States Grand Prix, likely on the western coast, and a Russian Grand Prix. The fact of the 2nd United States Grand Prix is not likely to succeed because of the 2007 regulation that states only 1 (one) Grand Prix per country.
Regulations
On 22nd December 2006, the FIA released the technical regulations for the 2009 season.
Along with changes to bodywork and tyre size, the document includes details of a "Kinetic Energy Recovery System", or KERS. This is a regenerative brake device that can store energy produced during braking to be used to propel the vehicle at a later stage in the race.
