Driver Changes
There's been a massive amount of movement between the teams this year with the two most high-profile changes seeing Daniel Ricciardo over from Red Bull to Renault and Kimi Raikkonen swopping the red of Ferrari for the ambitious Sauber team.
With Ricciardo gone, Red Bull have filled the gap with impressive young gun Pierre Gastly. Ferrari have also opted to replace their veteran with a young rookie as Charles Leclerc takes over from Raikkonen.
There are also a few returns for drivers who found themselves in the wilderness with Danil Kvyat coming back in to favour at Toro Rosso and Robert Kubica set to return to the sport after almost a decade on the sidelines as the Polish veteran has got a drive with Williams.

Rule Changes
Chequered Flag Goes Electric
A bit of an odd one but the bigwigs at the FIA are set to do away with the chequered flag and replace it with a light panel similar to the one used at the start of the race. This could be in response to what transpired at the Candian Grand Prix last year where the flag was waved a lap too early.
Pit Crews Get Added Responsibilities
The teams will now be responsible for ensuring the cars meet all the safety requirements before they take to a track. This was previously done by an independent FIA inspector. We could well see a lot of fines dished out due to this rule change.
Safety Car Restarts Get Rejig
All Safety Car restarts will now have conformity when it comes to drivers overtaking when the safety car pits.
