2018 RULE CHANGES
- Grid penalties will now be handed out differently. If you change one unit you will get set back 5- or 10 places like before. However, should you change a second component in the same weekend, you will be moved to the back of the grid. In case of multiple drivers getting this penalty, the order in which they changed will determine the grid order.
- Only three race engines may be used during this season, down from four. That means, 3 ICE, 3 MGU-H, 3 Turbo-chargers, as well as only 2 MGU-K, 2 Energy storage systems and 2 CE's.
- Shark fins and T-wings were disallowed for 2018.
- Oil burning practices will be subject to further restricting regulations.
- Race stewards can now issue penalties for improper race starts after Vettel oddly positioned his car in China 2017 and Bottas might have jumped the start in Austria.
- Free practice drivers must now have 25 superlicense points before they're allowed to participate.
- Pre-season testing is now seven, instead of eight days.
- The Halo safety-system will be mandatory from this season onwards.
- Drivers will be required to wear special gloves that transmit their biometric data to better assist recovery and medical crews in the event of accidents.
- Two new tire compounds will be introduced, dubbed Hypersoft and Superhard, which will have a Pink and Orange sidewall respectively. The color for the Hard compound will be changed to light blue. Pirelli will still select only three of the available compounds for teams to use during a weekend.
