Changes from last seasonEdit

Team changesEdit

• McLaren signed a three-year engine supply deal with Renault, ending their long-term contract with Honda prematurely.^[18]

• After Carlos Sainz, Jr. moved to Renault at the 2017 United States Grand Prix and Daniil Kvyat being dropped after the same race, Toro Rosso fielded Brendon Hartley and Pierre Gasly for 2018.^[44] Kvyat later became a development driver for Ferrari.^[3]
• FIA Formula 2 Championship Champion, and Ferrari academy ace, Charles Leclerc was signed up to the Sauber team for 2018.^[41]
  • Marcus Ericsson was retained by the team, leaving Pascal Wehrlein without a seat, while Antonio Giovinazzi was registered as Sauber's reserve.^[41] While Wehrlein returned to DTM,^[67] he was also given the role of both test and reserve driver for Mercedes alongside George Russell.^[23][68]

Sporting RegulationsEdit

• The pre-season tests will consist of seven days overall, and the mid-season test will be held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, after being held at the Bahrain International Circuit the previous year.^[75][76]
• If a driver receives a grid penalty for exceeding the allowance of power unit components and it is worth more than fifteen places, they will automatically start from the back of the grid.^[77] If more than one driver has the same penalty, their position will depend on who changed their components first.^[77]
• Most European Grands Prix will have their sessions held an hour later, while every race will also start an extra ten minutes later, in order to gain larger television audiences and enable broadcasters into spending more time interviewing drivers and teams during the pre-race build-up.^[78]
