FORMULA One's top teams have already begun working on preparations for next season, despite having run only three rounds so far of this year's world championship. Next season will feature a significant amount of changes to the technical regulations, as issued by the International Automobile Federation (FIA). And seeing the amount of work that will be needed in preparation for the next campaign, team bosses admit it is crucial to begin developing their "all-new" cars from now.
