The FIA have announced an increase to their proposed team budget for 2010 from £30 million up to £40 million. Any teams that exceed this budget will have to face a penalty from the FIA although the severity of this penalty is not yet clear.
Other major changes to take place next year include the allowance of movable front and rear wings, engines without rev-limiters and the allowance of unlimited out of season testing. A ban on tyre warmers has also been proposed which will hopefully bring us some interesting driving as cars leave the pit lane in the middle of a race.
One of the most controversial changes for next year is the ban on refuelling. This means that teams will have to incorporate a tank big enough to hold a whole race worth of fuel into their designs for the 2010 season. I looks like we will have another unpredictable start to the season in 2010, and some interesting designs as the teams incorporate full race sized tanks.
