The 2007 Formula One season will be the 58th FIA Formula One World Championship season. Scheduled to begin on 18 March, it will end on 21 October, after seventeen Grands Prix.
The 2007 season is significant in that it will herald the end of the existing Concorde Agreement between the existing Formula One constructors and Bernie Ecclestone. In particular, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Honda (collectively the Grand Prix Manufacturers' Association) have a number of outstanding disagreements with the FIA and Ecclestone, on financial and technical grounds. They had threatened even to boycott Formula One from the 2008 season onwards and instead stage their own rival series, before signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix.
The 2007 Australian Grand Prix will be the first time since the 1986 Spanish Grand Prix that there would be a Formula One field without a Cosworth engine, as well as the first Grand Prix to have a driver with prominent African or Caribbean ancestry in the field.
With the announcement on 26 February that Honda F1 will run with a "new" Earth livery on their RA107 car, it will also be the first time since 1968, when sponsorship in the sport became widespread, that a team has run sponsor-free for an entire season.
Pre-season testing
Pre-season testing began in November 2006 at the Circuit de Catalunya, with ten of the eleven teams participating in the test sessions. The most notable absentees were Fernando Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen, who were still under contract at Renault and McLaren respectively. Jenson Button was also absent as he had suffered a hairline fracture on his ribs after a go-karting accident in preparations for the November tests. Lewis Hamilton made his first appearance in a McLaren since being confirmed as Alonso's team-mate for 2007.
Felipe Massa topped the times on the first two days of testing. Massa's testing partner, Luca Badoer, took the fastest time on the third day, although interest was on the fact that double World Champion Mika Häkkinen joined Hamilton and de la Rosa at McLaren for a one off test, although the Finnish driver was over three seconds slower then Badoer's time, completing 79 laps of the Spanish circuit. He hopes to be of continued benefit to McLaren over the coming winter.
The other big story of 2007 is the return to a single tyre formula (Bridgestone). It is possible that this accounts for some of the reason why Ferrari led the most recent test, although it has been claimed by Bridgestone that the 2007 tire is of a completely new build, thus minimising any real benefit for the 2006 Bridgestone teams (Ferrari, Toyota, Williams, Midland/Spyker and Super Aguri).
Toyota was the only team out for the fourth day of testing at Barcelona, as the Japanese works team chose to miss the first day of testing. Both Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli's fastest laps were quicker then Massa and Badoer's times during the previous three sessions. Testing resumed on December 6 at Jerez, with the majority of teams attending the session. Both Ferraris of Massa and Badoer were first and second fastest, with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton making up the top three in third. Hamilton improved on his position the following day by taking the fastest time, a second faster than Renault's Giancarlo Fisichella.
Japanese works teams Honda and Toyota topped the times for the next two days of testing: Honda's Rubens Barrichello and Toyota's Franck Montagny were fastest, although Toyota had the Jerez track to themselves when Montagny took the fastest time. Heikki Kovalainen and Pedro de la Rosa took the fastest times on the fourth and fifth day of testing at Jerez. Also of note, on the last day of testing Fernando Alonso made his Mclaren testing debut after an agreement with manager Flavio Briatore. This did not call for an end to his agreement (which ended on the 31st of December).

Formula One 2007 Race schedule
- On 29 August 2006, The FIA published a provisional calendar for the 2007 Formula One season. The San Marino and European Grands Prix were excluded, while Belgium returns.[5] The final calendar (above), which confirmed that the San Marino Grand Prix would not return, was released on October 18, 2006.[6]
- The German Grand Prix will take place at the Nürburgring in 2007, while in 2008 at Hockenheim (it will then alternate between these two circuits yearly).
- It had been suggested that the Italian Grand Prix might do the same, swapping between Monza and Imola, but this now appears to have been rejected with the possibility that Imola could again host the San Marino Grand Prix in 2008.Fact|date=February 2007 --
- After twenty years, the Japanese Grand Prix will move from the Honda-owned Suzuka Circuit to Toyota's rebuilt Fuji Speedway, a circuit that F1 has not raced at since 1977.
Changes
Rule changes
- Although the FIA had planned to introduce a regulation single tyre manufacturer from 2008, there will be a sole supplier (Bridgestone) from 2007 to 2010, since Bridgestone's only rival, Michelin, ended their participation in Formula 1 after the 2006 season.
- Tyres will be supplied in accordance with the revised Sporting Regulations, which provide for a total of 14 sets of dry weather tyres per driver over the race weekend: four sets for Friday only, and 10 for the rest of the weekend.
- The teams finishing 5th–11th in the previous seasons' Constructors' Championship will no longer be allowed to run a third car on Friday following a rule change. [7] The teams that finish 1st–4th are already banned from doing so.
- Engine development will be frozen from the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix, with these engines being used for the whole of 2007 and 2008. This is described as engine "homologation" by the FIA. It was previously set to be introduced in 2008. [8]
- All cars will be fitted with red, blue and yellow cockpit lights. The purpose is to give drivers information concerning track signals or conditions. The lights must be LEDs each with a minimum diameter of 5mm and which are fitted in order that they are directly in the driver’s normal line of sight. [9]
- In order to give rescue crews an immediate indication of accident severity each car must be fitted with a warning light which is connected to the FIA data logger. The light must face upwards and be recessed into the top of the survival cell no more than 150mm from the car centre line and the front of the cockpit opening and as near to the marshal neutral switch as is practical. [9]
- The two Friday practice sessions will expand from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. Any team will be allowed to use two cars, which may be driven by either the two race drivers or a nominated third driver. [10]
- The engine penalty will now only apply in the second day of the grand prix weekends. Any engine change in the first day will not be penalised. [10]
- No car will be allowed to enter the pits during a safety car period until all cars are in the group following the safety car. This prevents drivers from racing to the pits immediately after a safety car is deployed. In addition, any lapped cars in front of a car on the lead lap will be required to pass the safety car and restart at the end of the line-up instead of maintaining their physical position. [10]
- The Formula 1 teams have unanimously agreed to the voluntary early introduction of the testing agreement scheduled for 2008. This limits each team to an annual limit of 30,000 km.
- The teams first car will now have to run with a yellow coloured roll bar instead of a Black one. The second cars will still run with a Red/Orange Roll bar this should help people distinguish between the teams first and second cars at further distances.
Driver changes
- 2005 and 2006 World Champion Fernando Alonso will drive for McLaren starting in 2007 after 5 years at Renault.
- Juan Pablo Montoya, who was a McLaren driver until aftermath of the 2006 United States Grand Prix will be driving in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series for 2007, effectively ending his Formula 1 career, as announced on July 9, 2006.
- On August 2, 2006 Williams announced that test and reserve driver Alexander Wurz would step up to a race seat for 2007, replacing Australian Mark Webber.
- On August 7, 2006, Red Bull Racing announced their 2007 driver line-up of David Coulthard and Mark Webber, displacing Christian Klien.
- On August 7, 2006, BMW Sauber announced that Jacques Villeneuve's contract has been terminated immediately and for the rest of the season would be replaced by test driver Robert Kubica. Kubica was later announced on October 19, 2006 to retain the race seat for the 2007 season, with Sebastian Vettel remaining as the team's test driver. On December 21, 2006 BMW announced GP2 driver Timo Glock as their second test driver.
- On September 6, 2006, Renault confirmed Heikki Kovalainen as the team's replacement for Fernando Alonso.
- On September 10, 2006, Scuderia Ferrari confirmed Kimi Räikkönen as a replacement for the retiring Michael Schumacher.
- On November 15, 2006, Super Aguri confirmed Anthony Davidson as Sakon Yamamoto's replacement.
- On November 24, 2006, McLaren confirmed Lewis Hamilton as their second driver.
- On December 21, 2006, Spyker confirmed Adrian Sutil as their second driver.
Team changes
- Ferrari technical director, Ross Brawn, was to take a sabbatical year for 2007, after 10 seasons at the Italian team. However, it was later announced that he is to leave the team,[11] although he has stated he wishes to work with the team in future.
- McLaren will change their name to Vodafone McLaren Mercedes after signing a primary sponsorship deal with the telecommunications company late in 2005.
- With the loss of Vodafone, Scuderia Ferrari will begin work with Alice, a brand of Telecom Italia who will join the team next year.
- Mild Seven has confirmed that they will not renew their contract with Renault following its conclusion at the end of 2006 and current European tobacco laws. [12]
- British American Tobacco's Lucky Strike and 555 brands will cease to sponsor the Honda F1 team, leaving them to seek another primary sponsor.
- Williams will change their engines from Cosworth to Toyota in a three-year deal. [13] Contrary to recent speculation, the engines will not be rebadged as Lexus. [14]
- On September 9, MF1 Racing was officially sold to a Dutch-Arab consortium owned by Michiel Mol, along with the aid of Spyker Cars. The team has officially been renamed Spyker MF1 Team, keeping the MF1 for the rest of the season due to Concorde Agreement rules. [15]
- On September 30, Spyker announced that their engines supplier would be Ferrari. [16]
- On October 16, Renault confirmed that the Dutch banking company, ING, would become their main sponsor to replace Mild Seven.[17]
- On October 20, Williams announced AT&T as their new main sponsor. [18]
- On October 24, Spyker announced they would change their name from Spyker MF1 Team to Spyker F1 from 2007 onwards, subject to all other teams giving their agreement. [19] [20]
- On October 31, Red Bull confirmed their engine situation for 2007. Renault engines will be used for Red Bull Racing, while Scuderia Toro Rosso will use Ferrari engines. [21]
Speculation
Races
- With the demise of the European GP, consideration has been given to sharing a single German GP race in between both Hockenheim and Nürburgring for the future. A similar proposal is also in place for the two races in Italy. Speed TV reported that the Nurburgring and Monza would host the 2007 German and Italian Grands Prix respectively, with Hockenheim and Imola the hosts for 2008.[22]
- Having lost the Japanese GP to the Fuji circuit, Suzuka was in negotiations with Bernie Ecclestone on staging a race at the circuit again. It would likely have been a revived Pacific Grand Prix, or possibly named the Asian Grand Prix. This now appears to have been rejected but it remains a possibility for 2008. [23]
- The Italian government, who are aiding in funding the redevelopment of Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, have stated that they still have a contract for the San Marino Grand Prix, and that the race is still tentatively scheduled for April 29. However they state that this is dependent on the ability of the track to complete modifications by March. [24] It now appears that the modifications will not be ready in time. On October 18, 2006 the FIA announced that there would be no San Marino Grand Prix in 2007. [25]
- A new chicane has been inserted into the straight between Europcar and New Holland (final corner) at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona. This was installed in order to slow the cars down before the long main straight, as well as hoping to provide more overtaking opportunities into turn 1.
- Spa has had some new track changes as well, with a new paddock area and a reprofiled Bus Stop Chicane.
