Despite few rule changes, 2007 provided a major technical challenge for the teams. For once aerodynamics were largely unchanged, as were the engines - albeit restricted in development.
Thus, the season was largely directed by the teams' reaction to the new Bridgestone tyres. The tyres demanded different weight distribution, and also affected the aerodynamics.
