New turbocharged hybrid-electric power units and revised aerodynamics may scramble the familiar order in Formula One for 2014.
This season will see an almost entirely new slate of rules for Formula One that effectively make it a different series. The cars are changed aerodynamically and have dramatically different power sources. Stiff limitations on track testing, wind tunnel testing, and even CFD modeling aim to limit costs and reduce the advantage bigger-budget teams hold over smaller teams.
Championship points will be allocated differently (double points in the last race), and there are two new circuits on the schedule.
