The FIA stated that all drivers must use a hybrid in the Formula One 2009 season if they wish to compete. These new rules are being enforces in order to meet the standards that have been set up by the Kinetic Energy Recovery System.

Teams all across the board have been caught off guard by this new rule. Ferrari was one of the first to speak out. Piero Ferrari – son of Enzo and Vice President of Ferrari – was noticeably angry by the change and is afraid that they will lose thousands of dollars trying to create new engines for their team.

Ferrari’s Formula One team had a lot to deal with last year because of the spy scandal – but they are hoping to put everything behind them and start fresh. Stefano Domenicali – the new boss – is looking to put some fire beneath the team and keep their eyes looking to the future.

McLaren is set to go up before the International Automobile Federation’s World Motor Sport Council after he was charged with unauthorised possession of documents and confidential information that belonged to their Italian rivals. Formula One’s governing body could puncture McLaren’s championship bid on Thursday and slam the brakes on Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton’s own title aspirations.

Ferrari has revealed details of the car it hopes will return it to world title glory in 2007.

The team released technical specifications of its new challenger, designated the F2007, at a behind-closed-doors launch at Fiorano.

Photographers were barred from the event but Ferrari published its own pictures of the car, the fifty-third grand prix single-seater built by the fabled Italian marque.
