Team changes

Five drivers made their Formula One debut in2013, including (clockwise from top left):Esteban Gutirrez (Sauber), Valtteri Bottas

(Williams), Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi (bothMarussia). Giedo van der Garde (Caterham) is

not pictured.

In November 2012, Thesan Capital, the owners of HRT Formula 1Team, announced that they were putting the team up for sale. The teamneeded to find a buyer by 30 November the date by which entry feesfor the 2013 were due to be paid or else face closure and a departurefrom the sport. Thesan Capital failed to find a buyer in time, and HRTwas omitted from the 2013 entry list. The team was later reported to bein liquidation, and despite bids to purchase and revive the team under anew name, their assets were ultimately sold to Teo Martn, the ownerof a firm specialising in recycling automotive parts.

Driver changes

Upon starting his second career in 2010, Michael Schumacher signed athree-year agreement to race for Mercedes AMG. With that dealexpiring at the end of the 2012 season, Schumacher was given theoption of renewing his contract with the team for 2013. However, inthe face of disappointing results over the past three seasons,Schumacher became indecisive about his future, prompting Mercedesto start searching for a new driver. Following a protracted period of negotiation, 2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton announced that hewould join Mercedes for the next three years. The move ended hisfourteen-year association with McLaren, and Hamilton later described his decision to change teams as beingmotivated by the desire to find a new challenge for himself, and that the idea of taking a struggling team andbuilding them up to become a successful one held more appeal to him than "cruising around with a great team".Schumacher ultimately announced that he would be retiring from the sport at the end of the 2012 season.

With Hamilton leaving McLaren, the team sought out Sauber driver Sergio Prez to replace him. Prez waspreviously a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, and was considered to be the leading

Lewis Hamilton seen here at the2012 Bahrain Grand Prix left

McLaren to join the Mercedes works

team in 2013.

candidate to join Ferrari should a vacant seat become available, but admitted thatalthough he had talked with the team, he had never considered racing for them tobe a realistic proposition, adding that McLaren was the best place for him to go.

Nico Hlkenberg left Force India after just one season, despite having originallysigned a multi-year deal to race for the team starting in 2012, to fill the vacant

seat at Sauber. Hlkenberg was joined by Esteban Gutirrez, who had previouslyserved as Sauber's testing and reserve driver in 2011 and 2012 whilstcampaigning in the GP2 Series. Hlkenberg's place at Force India was taken byAdrian Sutil, who returned to the team after a season out of the sport.

With Hlkenberg and Gutirrez joining Sauber, Kamui Kobayashi was leftwithout a seat after three seasons with the Swiss team. In a bid to secure a seat,Kobayashi accepted donations from fans to raise as much money as possible.However, shortly after Lotus F1 announced that they would retain RomainGrosjean, Kobayashi announced that he had given up hope of securing a racingseat for the 2013 season. He later joined AF Corse for the 2013 FIA WorldEndurance Championship. However, he returned to the Formula 1 grid in 2014with Caterham.

Williams promoted test and reserve driver Valtteri Bottas to a full-time racing seat alongside Pastor Maldonado,replacing Bruno Senna. Bottas, the 2011 GP3 Series champion, made regular appearances for Williams during the2012 season, in official practice sessions at fifteen Grands Prix. Faced with the loss of his seat, Bruno Senna initiallysought a drive with Force India, but instead moved to the World Endurance Championship, joining Aston MartinRacing.

Charles Pic moved from Marussia to Caterham, joining former GP2 Series teammate Giedo van der Garde. Pic andvan der Garde had previously raced alongside one another as team-mates in 2011, racing for Barwa Addax. WherePic joined Marussia for the 2012 season, van der Garde became Caterham's test driver and contested the 2012 GP2championship with their GP2 team before being promoted to Formula One. As a result of this, Caterham's 2012drivers, Heikki Kovalainen and Vitaly Petrov lost their seats for 2013. Caterham team principal Cyril Abiteboul lateradmitted that the relationship between the team and Kovalainen had fallen apart towards the end of the 2012 season,leading to his dismissal from the team, whilst Petrov lost his seat due to a lack of sponsorship. Kovalainen laterreturned to the team to take part in free practice sessions on a temporary basis.

Timo Glock was initially signed to compete for Marussia until the end of the 2014 season, but later announced thathe would be leaving the team. Marussia team principal John Booth cited "tough economic conditions" as the reasonfor the team being forced to let Glock go, whilst Glock referenced the loss of tenthplace in the 2012 World

Constructors' Championship toCaterham at the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix as the first sign that his position with theteam was in danger.Glockmoved to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, driving forBMW. With Glock gone, theteam elected to take two rookie drivers: Max Chilton, who spent the 2012 season competing in the GP2 Series withthe Marussia-backed Carlin team; and GP2 Series runner-up Luiz Razia. However, Razia was removed fromMarussia's testing line-up for the second pre-season test in Barcelona, leading to speculation that his future with theteam was in jeopardy. It was later reported that his sponsors had missed payments to the team, prompting thedecision to suspend his testing programme. His contract to race was terminated just twenty-three days after it hadbeen announced, and Razia was replaced by 2009 Formula 3 Euro Series champion and 2012 Formula Renault 3.5Series runner-up Jules Bianchi.

Mid-season changes

Kimi Rikknen was forced to miss the final two races of the season in order to undergo surgery to relieve pain froma back injury he has been suffering from for a long time and which flared up during the Singapore Grand Prix. Hisplace in the team was taken by Heikki Kovalainen.

CalendarThe following nineteen races appeared on the 2013 race schedule. Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One's commercialrights holder through his Formula One Management andFormula One Administration companies, haspreviouslysaid that he believes twenty races is the maximum that is viable. The number of races on the Formula One calendaris dictated by the Concorde Agreement, the arrangement between teams, the FIA and Formula One Management. Atthe time of Ecclestone's comments regarding the length of the series schedule, the then-current Concorde Agreementwas set to expire at the end of the 2012 season. Twenty to twenty-five races would be possible if the teams agreed toit.

At the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix, Ecclestone announced that the 2013 calendar would consist of twenty races, andwould be largely similar to the 2012 calendar. The provisional calendar was announced at the 2012 Singapore GrandPrix, which was approved by the FIA World Motorsports Council on 28 September 2012.

The calendar was originally intended to host twenty races, with the inclusion of the Grand Prix of America, a newevent to be hosted on the streets of New Jersey on 16 June, as part of a 1-week North American "double-header".Following its removal from the calendar, the schedule was reduced to nineteen races until the FIA WorldMotorsports Council announced that a twentieth round would be included at a circuit in Europe, pending theoutcome of negotiations between Bernie Ecclestone and event organisers. In February 2013, Ecclestone announcedthat a replacement venue had not been found, leaving the calendar at nineteen Grands Prix.

Failed race bids

The 2013 season was scheduled tosee the addition of the Grand Prix of America to the calendar. The race was to take place on a new, Hermann Tilke-designed street circuit in NewJersey in June of that year, back-to-back with the Canadian Grand Prix. However, shortly after the race was givena date on the provisional calendar, Bernie Ecclestone admitted that the contract with organisers in New Jersey hadbeen nullified, and organisers later confirmed that the race had been removed from the 2013 calendar andrescheduled for 2014. The collapse of the race was attributed to the failure to get all of the necessary permits tohold the race from multiple branches of state and federal government departments.

Changes

Rule changes

Sporting regulations

At the June 2012 meeting of the World Motor Sport Council, the FIA announced plans to introduce cost-controlmeasures for the 2013 season, which would be policed by the FIA pending the agreement of the teams. Thisfollows a failed attempt by former FIA president Max Mosley to introduce a budget cap for the 2010 season, andthe withdrawal of Ferrari, Scuderia Toro Rosso, Sauber and Red Bull from the Formula One Teams Associationin December 2011 over the implementation of the Resource Restriction Agreement, a voluntary agreementbetween teams to limit costs in the sport.

Following HRT's omission from the provisional entry list, the grid was reduced to twenty-two cars, prompting anadaptation of the qualifying procedures. With twenty-two cars on the grid, six cars instead of seven will beeliminated during the first period of qualifying, with six more eliminated at the end of the second period (as in2006 08). The third qualifying period remains unchanged, with the ten fastest drivers all advancing to the finalten minutes of qualifying.

The rules governing the use of the Drag Reduction System (DRS) have been altered. Where drivers were free to

use the system at will during free practice and qualifying, from 2013, the use of DRS is restricted to thedesignated DRS zone in a bid to improve safety. In response to this, the FIA announced plans to include two DRSzones at every circuit on the 2013 calendar where it was feasible to do so.

The FIA will remove the rules of"force majeure" to clarify scrutineering procedures. Under the rules of forcemajeure , cars must be able to return to the pits under their own power during qualifying or else risk exclusionfrom the results. However, if a team can adequately demonstrate that circumstances beyond their control forcedthem to stop a car on the circuit before it could return to the pits, then the rules of force majeure dictate that theteam and driver in question are exempt from any exclusion. Under new regulations, force majeure will no longerbe recognised as a valid reason for stopping a car. From 2013, race stewards will measure the amount of fuelremaining in a car that has stopped on the circuit and compare it to the minimum amount set forward in the rules,and calculate any penalty based on the difference between the two. These changes were first proposed in theaftermath of the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, when Red Bull Racing instructed Sebastian Vettel to stop on thecircuit after qualifying. Although race stewards initially accepted the team's explanation that the order camebecause of an imminent technical fault that threatened lasting damage to Vettel's engine, it was later discoveredthat Vettel had insufficient fuel in his car at the time and had been ordered to pull over so as to preserve themandatory one litre sample required for testing at the end of qualifying.Wikipedia:Verifiability As a result, Vettelwas excluded from the results, and the changes to force majeure were put forward.

The FIA introduced a curfew system in 2011 that prohibited team personnel from accessing the circuit in the six

hours before the first session of the day, with teams given four "jokers" exceptions to the rule that allowed themto stay within the circuit boundaries past the curfew hours without penalty so as to complete work on cars to usethroughout the season. The rule has been revised for 2013, with teams limited to two exceptions over the courseof the year. The curfew hours have been also extended from six hours to eight.

Teams were faced with an increased entry fee for the season. Whereas entry fees had previously been fixed at 309,000 (US$396,637) for all teams, from 2013, entry fees were based on the World Championship points ateam scored during the previous season. Teams now paid a basic entry fee of $500,000 ( 389,525), plus $5,000( 3,895) per point scored. The reigning Constructors' champions paid at a premium rate of $6,000 ( 4,614) perpoint scored. With a final tally of 460 points, Red Bull Racing were presented with an entry fee of $3,260,000( 2.5M).

Technical regulations

Artist's rendition of a stepped nose with a"modesty panel" (in red).

Changes to the rules in 2012 resulted in the development of a"platypus" nose, with teams designing cars with a visible change inheight along the nose assembly of the car. The design attractedcriticism, with Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber labelling thecars "ugly" and Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali callingthem "not that pretty". At the 2012 Australian Grand Prix, CharlieWhiting, the FIA technical delegate, announced that although thechanges to the sporting regulations planned for the 2014 season

would effectively remove the "platypus" effect, the sport'sgoverning body is planning to phase the stepped nose out for 2013. The FIA later accepted a proposal that wouldallow teams to cover up the stepped nose with a "modesty plate", a panel designed to obscure the step withoutfundamentally altering the aerodynamic profile of the car or offering any aerodynamic gain itself.

The FIA completely overhauled testing procedures for front wings in 2013, introducing a more-comprehensiveand strenuous series of tests designed to root out the practice of exploiting flexible bodywork regulations. Frontwings in particular are subjected to revised parameters, with a tolerance of just 10 mm (0.39 in) permitted whenthe wing is subjected to a load of 100 kg (220 lb).

The "double-DRS" system, first developed by Mercedes for the W03 in 2012 is banned in 2013. The device,which used a series of channels that ran through the car to create a stalling effect over the front wing when therear wing Drag Reduction System was open, thereby cancelling out the downforce generated under normalconditions, would allow the car to achieve a higher top speed and better stability in fast corners. The system was

the subject of several legal challenges early in the 2012 season, and rival team Lotus developed a similar systemof their own before teams agreed to a ban in July 2012. However, while the regulations specifically banned thesystem developed by Mercedes, they make no provision for the variant developed by Lotus.

The minimum weight of cars increased to 642 kg (1,415 lb) so as to account for the weight difference between the2012 and 2013 specification of tyres.

The Sixth Concorde Agreement the contract between the Fdration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), theFormula One teams and the Formula One Administration which dictates the terms by which the teams compete inraces and take their share of the television revenues and prize money which was first ratified by teams in2009 expired at the end of 2012, necessitating the creation of the Seventh Concorde Agreement. As part of therenewed Agreement, the commercial rights to the sport were to be floated on the Singapore Stock Exchange;however, in June 2012 the planned flotation was delayed, with weak markets, uncertainty within Europe over thecontinent's economic future, and Facebook's disappointing IPO cited as reasons for the delay.

The sport's decision-making process will be restructured. Prior to 2013, any decision to change the sporting or

technical regulations required the agreement of at least 70% (or nine votes) of the teams in order for thosechanges to be accepted. From 2013 onwards, those changes will only need a 51% majority (six teams) in order tobe approved. The Technical and Sporting Working Groups, the committees responsible for deciding upon thetechnical and sporting regulations, will also be disbanded in favour of a "Strategy Working Group" that willoversee both technical and sporting regulations and will be made up of representatives from each of the teams thatscored points in the previous season's championship, the FIA, Formula One Management, one engine supplier andsix event promoters. FIA president Jean Todt described the changes as necessary and designed to give each of thestakeholders in the sport a proportionate representation in deciding the future of Formula One.

Championship summary

With the nineteen races of the season completed, the defending World Champion, Red Bull Racing's SebastianVettel, retained the Drivers' Championship. He did so bywinning in India and opening an unassailable 115 point gapwith only three races remaining. He broke the record for most consecutive wins in a singleseason with nine. He alsotied the recordfor consecutive wins, which was set by Alberto Ascari in 1952-1953, and for total wins in a singleseason with 13, set by Michael Schumacher in 2004. His record tally of 13 wins included a controversial victory atthe Malaysian Grand Prix that came when he defied team orders, overtaking teammate Mark Webber late in the raceto secure victory. Vettel apologised afterwards to the team, although he later refused to apologise for winning.Vettel's other wins came in Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Japan, India, Abu Dhabi,the United States and Brazil. The four times world champion scored 397 points, also a record. Webber finished hislast formula one season in third place with 199 points. It was the first time since 2008 that the Australian failed towin a race. Their combined results have allowed Red Bull to clinch the 2013 Constructors' Championship in India byopening a gap of 157 points, with only 129 still up to grab. The team scored a total of 596 points.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso finished as the runner-up with 242 points. The Spaniard won two races, in ChinaandSpain, and scored five second places, in Australia, Canada, Belgium, Italy and Singapore, to keep him in a strongchampionship position throughout the season. However, a retirement in Malaysia and relatively poor results inBahrain, Monaco, Korea and India has seen him fall behind Vettel in the points. The gap closed briefly after theGerman's gearbox failure at the British Grand Prix, but the defending world champion scored eleven consecutive

podium finishes since his sole retirement of the season, including ten wins, to clinch the title. Alonso's teammateFelipe Massa finished eighth in the standings, scoring 112 points with a single podium finish in Spain. Ferrari lost

Lewis Hamilton, who has scored a win in Hungary, four third places and five pole positions in 2013 with MercedesAMG, finished fourth in the drivers' standingswith 189 points. His Malaysian Grand Prix podiumcame with a shareof controversyas team orders were employedto help him retain third place. After the race, Hamilton admitted thatteammate Nico Rosberg was theone who actually deserved the podium. Italy was the first time that Hamilton f ailed

to make a Q3 appearance sincethe 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix. As a result, the Briton's streak of consecutive Q3appearances ended at 66. Hamilton also suffered his first retirement of the season in Japan due to damage caused bya puncture, which he got from a clash with Vettel. Rosberg, despite winning the Monaco and British Grands Prix,finished sixth, with retirements in Australia, China and Hungary, as well as a string of bad luck preventing him fromhaving clean races, hurting his point tally. Mercedes finished as the runner-up to Red Bull in the Constructors'Championship with 360 points.

Lotus driver Kimi Rikknen finished fifth in the Drivers' Championship with 183 points. He missed the last tworaces of the season due to a back surgery. The Finn won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and placedsecond at the Chinese, Bahrain, Spanish, German, Hungarian and Korean Grands Prix, but a retirement in Belgiumcombined with a non-points finish in Italy opened the gap to the championship leader. Belgium was the first time

Rikknen failed to finish a race since returning to the sport at the 2012 Australian Grand Prix. It also endedRikknen's record run of consecutive points finishesat 27, which started at the 2012Bahrain Grand Prix. TeammateRomain Grosjean finished third in Bahrain, Germany, Korea, Japan and India, f inishing seventh in the pointsstandings. He also saw a return of 2012 controversies during the first half of the season after being handed a 10-placegrid penalty for the Canadian Grand Prix, which he received for crashing into Daniel Ricciardo at Monaco. He wasalso handed a 20-second time penalty in Hungary for a collision with Jenson Button. However, the Frenchman foundgreat form and confidence afterwards to score three consecutive podium finishes and equaled his best ever result inthe United States with second place. Poor showings in Monaco, Canada, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy and Brazil sawLotus fall to fourth in the Constructors' Championship with 315 points, 39 adrift of Ferrari for third place.

Despite finishing the 2012 season with two wins in the final two races, McLaren have openly admitted to a difficult2013 campaign. Button f inished ninth overall, 39 points behind Massa, whilst teammateSergio Prez ended uptwelfth. The team endedthe season in fifth place in the Constructors' Championship, with a best result of f ourthachieved by Button in Brazil. Itwas the first time since 2006that McLaren failed to win a race and the first timesince 1980 that the team did not score a podium. Force Indiahad a strong start to the season, with Paul di Restafinishing fourth in Bahrain and Adrian Sutil recording a fifth place in Monaco, though the team's performance fellsignificantly during the second half of the season, with only 3 points scored in seven races from Germany to Japan.However, the team put both cars in the points at its home race as well as in Abu Dhabi. di Resta has been veryconsistent during the first half of the season, claiming points in six consecutive races from China to Great Britain.The team finished in sixth place in the Constructors' Championship, 45 points behind McLaren.

The team also enjoyeda great team result in Japan,where the Germanfinished sixth and his rookie teammate Esteban Gutirrez seventh, the Mexican's first and only points of the season.Sauber scored57 points and finished in seventh place in the Constructors' Championship. Gutirrez endured adifficult introduction to Formula One, with a retirement due to driver error in China, a lowly eighteenth place inBahrain and a string of grid penalties for causing avoidable collisions and blocking other drivers during qualifying.Despite this, he recorded the fastest lap of the race in Spain, secured his first career top ten qualifying appearance inSingapore, repeated the feat in Korea and drove a strong race for seventh in Japan. Scuderia Toro Rosso finished in

eight place overall with career-best results for both Daniel Ricciardo, who finished seventh in China and Italy, andJean-ric Vergne, who finished sixth in Canada. Qualifying has improved as well with the team making the top ten

in qualifying on a regular basis, with a peak of fifth for Ricciardo at Silverstone. Williams endured one of their worstseasons, not scoring points until Pastor Maldonado finished tenth in Hungary. Teammate Valtteri Bottas qualifiedthird in changeable conditions in Canada, but was unable to carry the speed into the race. However, the Finn scoredhis first career points in the United States after a strong weekend, finishing eight in the race. Williams finished ninthin the Constructors' Championship, 28 points adrift of Toro Rosso.

Marussia F1 and Caterham F1 did not score points in 2013. The teams' best results have been achieved by JulesBianchi, who scored a thirteenth for Marussia, and by Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde, who have both scored afourteenth place finish for Caterham. By virtue of Bianchi's thirteenth place in Malaysia, Marussia ended the seasonin tenth.

For the first time since the 1987 season, no race featured the use of wet weather tyres on at least one car. Wetpractice and qualifying sessions did take place throughout the year, however all races were dry.

Tyre issues

Tyre supplier Pirelli faced criticism early in the season due to the wear of some tyres, with some claiming tyremanagement had become too important to race strategy. This prompted Pirelli to announce plans to introduce newdesigns after the Canadian Grand Prix. The testing Pirelli undertook on these proposed new designs led to an officialcomplaint on the eve of the Monaco Grand Prix from Ferrari and Red Bull who claimed the way it was done, usingthe 2013 Mercedes car and drivers, would give them a competitive advantage in both Monaco and Canada. Therewere also disputes over the change in the failure mode that were the result of new manufacturing methods, as towhether these increased or decreased safety. As the teams arrived in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix it wasannounced that, after further enquiries were made to all teams, the FIA were referring the Mercedes tyre test to itsInternational Tribunal as it may have breached the rules. The FIA cleared an earlier test by Ferrari as it used a 2011car, which was not a breach of the rules. In order to reduce the number of delaminations, Pirelli introduced two newspecifications of rear tyre in time for the Canadian race, which also reverted to the belt pack used in 2011 and 2012tyres. In announcing the tyre, Pirelli said there would be no further tyre changes for the 2013 season due to the factthat to doing so would need the agreement of all teams, some of whom did not want their performance to be affectedby such a mid-season change.

Tyre issues continued to dominate headlines at the British Grand Prix when several drivers suffered explosivepunctures during the race. Amid concerns that the issue would continue at the German Grand Prix one week later,Pirelli received permission to introduce an entirely new specification of tyre in time for the Hungarian Grand Prix,whilst introducing modifications to the existing tyres for the race in Germany as a stop-gap solution. The FIA alsoimposed restrictions of their own, banning the teams from swapping the left- and right-side tyres around, a practicethat had been employed to extend the lifespan of the tyres.
