F1-säsongen 2017 närmar sig... Formel 1-VM 2017 avgörs för den 68:e gången. Regerande mästaren Nico Rosberg har avslutat sin F1-karriär och den stora frågan i skrivande stund är vem som tar plats bredvid Lewis Hamilton i Mecedesstallet. En inte lika stor fråga är vem som gör Marcus Ericsson sällskap i Sauberstallet? Vi ser även en del intressanta regelförändringar och frågan är vilka stall som hunnit jobba tillräckligt bra med dessa teknikaliteter inför säsongsupptakten i slutet av mars i Australien? FMV F1 Club planerar som vanligt att göra en resa till något av årets F1-evenemang, men risken är uppenbar att det blir som det blivit under senare år - vi kommer inte iväg...

Nyheter och förändringar inför F1-säsongen 2017
General changes
In September 2016, Liberty Media purchased a minority stake in the sport from CVC Capital Partners ahead of a hoped-for full buyout in time for the 2017 season. As part of the deal, the sport adopted a model similar to that used by the US National Football League and Major League Baseball, with teams entitled to purchase a stake in the sport.
Calendar changes
The Chinese and Bahrain Grands Prix swapped places in the schedule for the 2017 season.
The Baku event was renamed, becoming the first Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The previous race at the Baku Street Circuit ran under the European Grand Prix title in 2016. The date of the Baku race was changed to avoid conflicting with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which had been a source of controversy at the 2016 European Grand Prix.
The German Grand Prix was removed from the calendar after the owners of the Hockenheimring and Nürburgring circuits were unable to agree to commercial terms with Formula One Management.
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari—more commonly known as the Imola circuit—signed an agreement with Bernie Ecclestone to host a Grand Prix from 2017; however, the agreement had to be ratified by the Italian motorsport federation in order for the event to take place, and it was omitted from the calendar. The Imola circuit previously hosted the Italian Grand Prix in 1980 and the San Marino Grand Prix from 1981 to 2006.
Technical regulations
The technical regulations governing bodywork design were revised for 2017, with the objective of improving lap times by four to five seconds over the 2016 generation of cars. These changes include:
An increase of the width of the front wing to 1,800 mm (70.9 in).
Lowering the rear wing by 150 mm (5.9 in) and moving its position back by 200 mm (7.9 in).
The leading edge of the barge boards being brought forward to allow teams more freedom in controlling airflow.
An increase of the width of the front and rear tyres to allow cars to generate more mechanical grip.
The minimum weight of the car including the driver being raised by 20 kg to 722 kg, with teams allowed to use 105 kg of fuel to account for the increase in minimum weight.
The token system used to regulate power unit development—where the power unit was divided into individual areas, and each area assigned a points value with development of these areas deducting points from a manufacturer's overall points quota—will be abandoned.
Restrictions are to be placed on the dimensions, weight and the materials used to build each individual component of the power unit.
Teams are restricted to four power units per season regardless of the number of Grand Prix in the season. Previous seasons had included a provision for a fifth power unit if the number of Grands Prix in a season exceeded twenty; from 2017, this provision is to be abandoned.
The cost of a power unit supply is reduced by €1 million in 2017 ahead of a further reduction in 2018.
Cameras will no longer be permitted to be mounted on stalks, located on the nose of the car.

Sporting regulations
Under rules introduced in 2015, grid penalties for exceeding a driver's quota of power unit components carried over from one race to the next if the penalty could not be fully served when issued. When this carry-over system was abandoned, teams could build up a reserve of spare components by introducing several at once while only serving a single grid penalty. From 2017, teams will only be able to use one new component over their quota per race, with any additional components incurring further penalties. This change prevents teams from "stockpiling" spare power unit components.
Power unit suppliers will have an "obligation to supply", mandating that they supply power units to any team, should a team end up without an agreement. The rule was introduced following the breakdown in the relationship between Renault and their customer teams Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso at the end of the 2015 season that left both teams in limbo until deals could be arranged.
In the event that a race is declared wet and must start behind the safety car, the grid will follow normal starting procedures once conditions are declared satisfactory for racing. Drivers will line up on the grid for a standing start once the safety car pulls into pit lane, although any laps completed behind the safety car will count towards the total race distance.
