WELCOME TO THE HOCKENHEIMRING

Welcome to the racing city of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region: Hockenheim! Many eyes will

once again be glued to the Hockenheimring this year when Formula 1 stops by our Motodrom for

the 36th time after taking a one-year "Germany break". This applies to 2018 even more than to

previous years... Besides us, many Hockenheim residents are also looking forward to hosting an

international racing event again. We therefore cordially invite you to experience the speed and

excitement of Formula 1 at the Hockenheimring and in Hockenheim!

We are keeping a keen eye on the races of the current season. The technical development and

changes in the regulations have initiated a positive trend. Exciting, fair positional battles are inspiring

spectators around the world – the Formula 1 legend is alive and well!

A variety of innovations dedicated to fans of the racing series have also helped the premiere class

of motor sport draw on its traditional strengths. The supporting programme offers fun and

entertainment for the whole family with an extra special live experience.

In addition to Formula 1, motor sport fans can also look forward to other racing series that will be

featured during the Grand Prix weekend. The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, the ADAC Formula 4 and

the BOSS GP with its incomparable high-revving ten-cylinder engines of the past Formula 1 will ensure

plenty of action on the track.

Apart from enjoying the races you can also take the opportunity to get to know our city: Hockenheim.

Under the motto "Hockenheim lives Formula 1", the Hockenheim Marketing Association and its many

partners are organising entertaining activities in the city centre on Saturday. The clubs in the city are

also actively involved.

With this year's race, our contract with the rights holders expires. We would very much welcome the

premiere class continuing to race for the World Cup at the Hockenheimring in the future.

We look forward to the most important motor sport event in Germany and expect the Motodrom to

be seated to capacity – including a large number of Dutch fans. We are sure that our race will be a

highlight of the 2018 season.

FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2018

MONTE CARLO

Date 24 - 27 May Race distance 260.286 km

Circuit length 3.337 km Number of laps 78

Extracted image from page 41

Monaco remains one of the most prestigious auto races in the world, long recognized for its entertainment and celebrity presence. Motorsports most famous street circuit takes six weeks to build up and organize, offering drivers with the challenge of negotiating numerous elevation shifts and very tight corners, including one of the slowest corners in F1 racing as well as one of the fastest. Due to its unique configuration, change in speeds and lack of straights, keeping the engine cool is a point of focus for the teams, as Formula One cars depend on air moving over the car to remove heat, and don’t use formal cooling technology.

Today’s state-of-the-art venue can trace its F1 origins back to the early 1970s, when it held the first of its 14 French Grands Prix to date. After it saw its last F1 race in 1990 it underwent a transformation and was re-opened as the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in the beginning of the 21st century. Initially, as the new name suggests, it has been used exclusively for testing - its multi-configuration layout proved popular with F1 teams and set new standards in safety, pioneering the use of painted run-off areas instead of traditional gravel traps. In the lead up to its revival in F1, numerous modifications have been made to both the circuit and its setting to ensure a suitably challenge for the drivers and equally thrilling spectacle for race fans.

  1. 2018 FIA FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ – NEW RULES IN 2018

After the rules revolution of 2017, one that saw F1 cars become wider and faster, this season’s changes are relatively few in number.

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS

Bodywork and Dimensions - T-wings and shark-fin style engine covers outlawed: 2017 loopholes in terms of the extended, shark-finned engine covers, combined with the T-wings have been closed for this season. The purpose of the T-wing was to better direct airflow to the main rear wing, and in some cases to create a little additional downforce. As a result, cars can be expected to still provide an engine cover featuring a fin of sorts, but nothing like the huge swathes of carbon fibre that was shown in 2017.

Introduction of the Halo - Halo cockpit protection device mandatory: The cockpit protection device designed to further improve driver safety in the event of an accident, and in particular to deflect debris away from the head. The core design is dictated by the rules, however small adjustments of the aero device can be expected by the teams. The device must withstand specified impact forces in each direction dictated by FIA rules. This has kept the teams occupied, not least because they would ideally keep the mounting as low-weight as possible.

Weight of Car: The overall minimum weight of cars has gone up by 6kg to 734kg to compensate for the introduction of the halo. However, the estimated weight of the halo including its mounting could be as much as 14kg, which leaves team with less room to play when it comes to performance ballast.

Trick suspension outlawed: The trick suspension system could have been used to improve the car’s aerodynamic performance has been banned for the 2018 season.

SPORTING REGULATIONS

Car Livery: Both cars entered by a competitor must be present in substantially the same livery at every event. Any significant change to this livery during a Championship season may only be made with the agreement of the Formula One Commission.

Power Units - Drivers allowed three rather than four power units per season – To make F1 power units even more reliable – and further reduce costs – this season each driver must make do with just three engines for the 21-race campaign. That compares with four engines last year. One less engine per season also means one less chance per season for teams to introduce significant power unit upgrades. As a result, those teams who best manage their development programme over the course of the year could stand to reap even bigger rewards.

Grid Penalties- simplified grid penalties for power unit changes – One less engine per driver could mean more grid penalties in 2018. However, there will be far less confusion for fans over how those penalties impact the starting order. This season, any driver who earns a grid penalty of 15 places or more will have to start from the back of the grid. If more than one driver receives such a penalty they Will be arranged at the back of the grid in the order in which they changed elements.

87

2018 FIA FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ – NEW RULES IN 2018

That should mean less headaches for fans - and those at the FIA tasked with deciding the grid!

Wider range of dry tyre compounds – As in 2017, official F1 tyre suppliers Pirelli will make three dry- weather compounds available to teams at each Grand Prix. However, for 2018 those three will be selected from a broader range of compounds, which now includes the new, pink-marked hypersoft at one end of the spectrum and the orange-marked superhard at the other.

It means in total there will be seven, rather than the previous five, slick tyre compounds, all of which are a step softer than in 2017, making them the fastest tyres in Formula 1 history. Reports based on initial data suggest they could immediately mean cars going a second per lap quicker.

Also new for 2018 is the ice blue colour of the hard compound. This frees up orange to be used on the aforementioned superhard, denoting it as the very hardest choice available in Pirelli’s range. The 2018 range in full is: hypersoft (pink), ultrasoft (purple), supersoft (red), soft (yellow), medium (white), hard (blue), superhard (orange).

Depending on how Pirelli choose to select compounds, the general move towards softer rubber should make 2018’s racing even more exciting, with more pit stops and fewer one-stop Grands Prix.

Motor Oil – After controversy over the past season surrounding oil consumption, this area will be more stringently regulated in 2018. It has been alleged that some manufacturers were deliberately allowing engine oil to enter the combustion chambers, thereby extracting extra performance on top of the strictly controlled fuel allowance.

Although this ruse was already prohibited, it was difficult to detect. Consequently, a catalogue of measures has been introduced to prevent the deliberate combustion of oil for performance purposes. The teams may now use only a single-specification engine oil on race weekends.

Furthermore, the level in the main oil tank will in future be monitored in real time and the data transmitted directly to the FIA. All other oil levels must be reported to the FIA one hour before the start of the race. In addition, the use of active control valves between oil tank and internal combustion engine is prohibited.

Test restrictions: The regulations for 2018 incorporate an additional exception to the test restrictions. In the case of promotional events hosted by the commercial rights holder, the teams are allowed to use the current car subject to certain conditions. In the season just finished, Liberty Media hosted an event in central London for the first time in the run-up to the British Grand Prix.

Safety: Introduction of a new race glove that has a 3mm thick flexible sensor stitched into. It is the sport’s first biometric monitoring device to monitor the drivers’ vital signs during the race. The technology is available for all glove manufactures and initially the device will use.

88

2018 FIA FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ – NEW RULES IN 2018

an optical sensor to measure ‘pulse oximetry’ or the amount of oxygen in the blood, alongside the pulse rate. In an event of an accident racing drivers may experience injuries that is affecting breathing and the oxygen content of the blood diminishes immediately. Monitoring the data also offers a range of vital information for track doctors before arriving at the scene. The sensor uses a new industrial version of Bluetooth that can send information over a 500m radius. The hardware can send 20 data packets a second and has a self-contained power source via a small battery. This battery can be charged inductively, so when the drivers take their gloves off they just lie them on a charging mat and it replenishes automatically.

The work to improve safety in Formula 1 never stops. In addition to the halo, there are some additional optimizations: there must now be triple instead of double wheel mountings, and the locations for these have been specified in greater detail; the wheel nuts must also be better secured against working loose.

POINTS, CLASSIFICATION & RACE DISTANCE

Race Distance - Formula One races are of near identical distance, calculated in the regulations as the least number of laps required to exceed 305 kilometres. Some races invariably take longer than others due to the differing average speed of circuits. The only exception is Monaco, where the race distance is calculated as the minimum number of laps exceeding 260 kilometres.

Points & Classification - The top ten finishers in each Grand Prix score points towards both the drivers’ and the constructors’ world championships, according to the following scale:

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th
Points 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1

The only exceptions to this is when a race is suspended and cannot be restarted, in which case if less than 75 percent of the race distance has been completed half points are awarded, and if less than two laps have been completed, no points are awarded.

Any driver who completes over 90 percent of the race will be classified as a finisher, regardless of whether they running as the winner took the chequered flag.

If a race is stopped before the full distance and a result is declared, the classification will reflect the race order at the end of the lap two laps prior to that on which the race was stopped (see ‘Suspending and resuming a race’). For example, if a race is stopped on lap 60, the classification will be as it was at the end of lap 58.

The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season.

89

2018 FIA FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ – NEW RULES IN 2018

In the event of any ties for position, the driver or constructor with superior race results (based on descending order, from number of wins to number of second-places down) will be awarded the place.

8.1 PORSCHE MOBIL 1 SUPERCUP

2018 marks the 26th season for the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Porsche’s most international one-make cup was contested for the first time at Imola in 1993. With a capacity grid and races held on tradition- steeped racetracks, the series has offered gripping racing as support to Formula 1 ever since.

The 2018 race calendar consists of ten races over nine weekends. The season opens on Spain’s Circuit de Catalunya not far from Barcelona. Two rounds – Monte Carlo/Monaco and Budapest, Hungary – have been a permanent fixture on the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup calendar since the series began. The one-make cup also returns to Hockenheim/Germany after a year’s break. Other venues on the calendar this season are the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria as well as the storied racetracks in Silverstone/Great Britain, Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium and Monza, Italy. A doubleheader at Mexico City concludes the season.

The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup field is traditionally made up of pilots from all over the world. “We’re pleased with our grid packed with newcomers and seasoned race drivers. It’s the mix that makes the Supercup so appealing and guarantees some truly exciting motorsport,” says Oliver Schwab, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup manager. After celebrating his first championship title last year in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Michael Ammermüller returns to tackle the season as the defending champion. Twenty-eight pilots have signed on for the whole season, with additional guest starters bolstering the grid at individual races.

Successful junior support programme Joining the grid line-up in 2018 are the two Porsche Juniors, Thomas Preining from Austria and Frenchman Julien Andlauer. Preining contested four rounds of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup as a guest driver in 2017 and impressed with three top-ten results. Andlauer is the reigning champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup France and beat eight other international candidates at the junior selection shootout last year. In addition to receiving funding from Porsche to the value of 225.000 Euro towards their Supercup campaign run as support to Formula 1, the talented youngsters are coached on and off the racetrack in preparation for a successful career in professional motor racing.

Talented youngsters and ambitious teams pit themselves against seasoned specialists in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, making the race series an excellent springboard for young hopefuls: Earl Bamber is a classic example: In his 2014 debut season, the New Zealander promptly clinched overall victory, was signed as a Porsche works driver and has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans – twice. A total of nine current Porsche works drivers have climbed the ladder via the Supercup to become professional race drivers.
