Jenson Button denies feeling the weight of expectation ahead of new F1 season: New Season, New Rules...ENGINE: The 2.4litre V8 engine has been cut to a 1.6litre V6 turbo with hybrid boost. GEARBOX: Each gearbox must last six races, two more than 2013. TYRES: Pirellis will be one kilo heavier per set and more durable so no blow ups. BRAKES: ‘Brake by wire’ electronic controls for the first time. OWNFORCE: 15pc reduced by cutting rear wing and front wings to help overtaking. POWER: 780bhp last year reduced to 620bhp by changes but boosted to 840bhp with hybrid input. HYBRIDBOOST: KERS out, ERS (Energy Recovers Systems) in. Energy from turbo heat and braking friction allowed to be converted into boost. POINTS: Doublepoints for the final race in Abu Dhabi. New totting up system for penalties means drivers with 12 points face an automatic one race ban.
