The 2005 Formula One season will see the introduction of many changes to the regulations. The graphic above summarises the major changes that are going to take place.

According to BMW WilliamsF1 driver Formula One Mark Webber the new regulations will see drivers having to adapt to totally new way of doing things, resulting in teams and drivers having to cope with "totally new conditions."

With the introduction of regulations covering the life of engines, a reduction in downforce levels, and the numbers of tyres that teams can use over a race weekend, will all result in major changes as to how teams look at their race strategies.

Webber added: "It is going to need a different type of mentality from the drivers - both in terms of how you approach qualifying and the race. Now there will be lots of pressure all the way through.

"You are going to have to use a bit of 'grey matter' and the races this year will not be over until they are over."
