Australia was this year the second round of the F1 world championship but Bahrain's problems have made the Australian circuit is the one that opens the 2011 season. is a circuit that is characterized by a succession of great braking, acceleration be long and very bumpy in the braking area. At ground level, is a pipe wall and trees where accidents are more common.
is hard on the brakes and rear tires because it has many chicanes and must have good traction out of them well. The adhesion of asphalt is low but increasing over the weekend due to gum that collects on track.
This year also debuts a new regulation aimed, according to the FIA, is to encourage overtaking and entertainment by introducing new elements which may be decisive for the race. Return the controversial KERS (more reliable and improved by the equipment and suppliers), the famous mobile rear spoiler and most important of the season: a new tire supplier Pirelli . Whoever can adapt to these issues will make the difference this year.
is the famous KERS energy recovery system that provides extra power to the cars for a limited time (about 80 hp approx.).
Mobile rear spoiler aims to reduce the "drag" or resistance to the advance of the car by providing greater speeds and thus facilitating overtaking. This system replaces the dangerous F-Duct (banned this season) that in some cases forced to take a hand off the wheel in the middle line. The system will only be activated after the first two rounds or after a safety car period system can be activated only when the difference between the cars is less than 1 second and only in certain parts of the circuit specified by the FIA \u200b\u200band reported the pilot run by the ECU (electronic control unit)
Next a video with the Sauber C30 spoiler in action at Cheste in the preseason:
Finally new shoes which will be one of the keys to this world due to excessive degradation have (requested by the FIA \u200b\u200band Bernie to improve the show.) soft tires will not last more than 12 laps and harsh 15 to 20. This had to change the concept of the car to suit the new rubber and produce a very interesting strategy game like when refueling is allowed. The finest pilots (Button for example) and the cars that best address the tires will be more have competitive advantage over its rivals.
For this race, as always, and seeing what they did in preseason favorites are Red Bull, McLaren (great progression due to changes after the tests de Catalunya), Ferrari and Mercedes because we must not forget that the Kaiser was the best time of the preseason.

Data Length: 5.303km
Record: 1:24.125 (Michael Schumacher, Ferrari, 2004)
displacement between the line and the goal: 0.000km
Number of laps: 58
Total distance: 307.574km
Pit speed limits: 60km / h in free, 100km / h during qualifying and race
The FIA \u200b\u200bhas announced the exact locations of the proximity sensor and the point from which you can activate the spoiler. Circuit having a line not too long (the only point at which you can move the spoiler in the race) and being difficult to overtake at the first corner, it was decided to place the trigger point of the wing (marked with a line) just before the last turn and 867 meters before the first, so that pilots can use it in the race run through the line with less drag. To be the trigger point before the last curve has also advanced detection zone (where you check if a car is less than a second in another) to the braking for turn 14, for the pilot and television have time to learn that you can move the wing.
