New rules will increase overtaking on the circuit

Honda team boss Ross Brawn has said that the new rules for 2009 which include banning tyre warmers, slick tyres, and aerodynamic modifications will make it much more challenging on the track.

“The cars will have a lot less down force than they do now so it’s definitely going to go back the other way, The feeling is if we can have a higher ratio of tyre and mechanical grip and a lower ratio of aero grip then intuitively you think that would be much better for one car to follow another.” said brawn in a recent issue of auto trader.

Brawn went on to say; “The tyre of car we’re trying to have should mean that cars can follow each other easier, There are a lot of reasons why it should be better, but whether theres a second or third effect we haven’t anticipated we’ll have to wait and see.” he added.
Only time will tell what these changes will mean, if any to the F1 scene. But I for one am looking forward to seeing more action.
