The 2013 Formula One season will be the 64th season of the FIA Formula One World Championship. 2013 will be the final year the series uses the current 2.4 litre V8 engine configuration, with a more environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient 1.6 litre V6 turbocharged engine formula planned to be introduced in 2014.[1] The 2013 season will see the addition of the Grand Prix of America to the series schedule, a race to be held at the Port Imperial Street Circuit in Weehawken, New Jersey.[2]

Signed teams and drivers

The following teams and drivers are contracted to drive in the 2013 season, subject to ratification of a new Concorde Agreement. At the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix, Bernie Ecclestone announced that the "majority" of teams competing in the 2012 season had agreed to compete in 2013, though he gave no indication of which teams — if any — were offering resistance to the new Concorde Agreement.[3]

Team changes

  • British engineering company Lola Cars, who previously attempted to join the Formula One grid in 2010,[19] have stated their intention to enter the sport before the 2014 engine regulations are introduced, pending the availability of a thirteenth grid entry and finalising an engine partner.[20]

2013 season calendar

The following eighteen races are currently contracted to appear on the 2013 race schedule. Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One's commercial rights holder through his Formula One Management and Formula One Administration companies, has previously said that he believes twenty races is the maximum that is viable.[21] The number of races on the Formula One calendar is dictated by the Concorde Agreement, the arrangement between teams, the FIA and Formula One Management. At the time of Ecclestone's comments regarding the length of the series schedule, the then-current Concorde Agreement was set to expire at the end of the 2012 season. More than twenty races would be possible if the teams agreed to it.[22]

Changes

Rule changes

  • Changes to the rules in 2012 resulted in the develoment of a "platypus" nose, with teams designing cars with a visible change in height along the nose assembly of the car.[60] The design attracted criticism, with Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber labelling the cars "ugly"[61] and Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali calling them "not that pretty".[62] At the 2012 Australian Grand Prix, Charlie Whiting — the FIA technical delegate — announced that although the changes to the sporting regulations planned for the 2014 season would effectively remove the "platypus" effect, the sport's governing body is planning to phase the stepped nose out for 2013.[63]
