FIA: 26 car field and a £40m budget cap
Formula One is poised to become a 26-car Championship next season for which a £40million budget cap has been imposed.
Following Wednesday's meeting of the World Motor Sports Council in Paris, it was agreed the maximum number of cars permitted to enter would be increased to 26, two for each team. |

USGP are just about confirmed...they've been in the works for a long time now...
Lola as well have wanted in for awhile so won't be surprised if they join in as well...
AM expressed "interest" but given the recent failure of Jaguar, they're clearly the least likely of the 3... |

IMHO Piquet just there because of his name (as his father was a 3 time world champion) |

The additional £10million also allows the current teams a further degree of leeway, although they may still feel it does not go far enough.
Don't Miss
Teams, though, will still have freedom of choice as to whether to be governed by the cap. However, those that opt out face certain restrictions. Any team operating within the budget will be allowed to use movable front and rear wings and, most crucially, an engine not subject to a rev limit.
Those teams will also be allowed unlimited out-of-season track testing, with no restrictions on the scale and speed of wind-tunnel testing.

| Quote: | HOW REGULATIONS WORK
::: Engines - No rev limit for capped teams who will also be allowed to use more than eight per season; uncapped will have to operate at a maximum of 18,000rpm and remain restricted to no more than eight.
::: Gearbox - Currently each driver may use no more than one gearbox for four consecutive races. That will not apply to the capped teams.
::: Bodywork - Capped teams will be allowed movable front and rear wings; uncapped will have front wing only.
::: KERS - Capped cars will be allowed double the boost from the system that stores energy under braking, which will be worth around 13.5 seconds per lap, compared to 6.7s for uncapped cars.
::: Testing - Capped cars will be allowed unlimited out-of-season track testing; uncapped will continue to be limited to 15,000km.
::: Wind tunnel - Unlimited use of a full-scale facility for uncapped teams; capped teams are limited to a 60% of full-size model and at a speed not exceeding 50 metres per second.
In addition, the FIA have also confirmed from 2010 there will be a ban on refuelling during a race and on the use of tyre warmers for all teams.

It means that they are going back to how it was up to the end of the 1993 season when a car had to carry enough fuel to last the entire race.
They should go even further back to get racing like this.

| Williams have posted great times all through the season's Friday and Saturday Practice sessions, but haven't been able to get a proper qualifying session, or even challenge for podium. |
