4 Things To Look Forward To In 2008
As the new 2008 season begins, we look forward to five good things that will happen and five things that might rear their ugly heads
1. The absence of traction control
With the FIA imposing a single Electronic Control Unit for engine management in 2008, we can look forward to the true prospect of F1 without traction control and launch control. This will mean that grand prix starts will be able to throw up some big surprises when drivers get it wrong. It will also mean that drivers who are great at starting will make up shedloads of places on the opening lap. In the past few years the starts have been a battle of the teams' respective software engineers. Not any more.
Similarly in the wet, drivers with the Schumacher-esque ability of being able to work out the maximum adhesion by taking their cars to the very limit and just easing off when the car starts to twitch, will have an edge over those who stick their foot down and let the electronics do the rest.
The obvious changes in the dry will be at the exits of corners. In the past TC has sorted out huge inputs of power through the rear wheels. Now, drivers will have to feed in the power with care.
2. Formula 1's first night race
One of the highlights of the year will be the Singapore GP raced at night. Street GPs are tremendous spectacles to witness, particularly at Monaco where the circuit is impossibly tight and close to the spectators, but having it at night will give it an extra edge.
Street circuits usually produce a high casualty rate (think Monaco and Canada), so having it at night in the year when traction control is removed from the cars could produce a dramatic result. And just imagine if it rains...
3.The arrival of Nelson Piquet Junior
It will be great to see Nelsinho in F1. He is the latest son-of-a-World Champion to enter motorsport's highest level following Michael Andretti (son of Mario), Damon Hill (son of Graham) and Nico Rosberg (son of Keke).
4. Ferrari winning both championships
