Bad news for Virgin Racing: it looks like their fuel tank isn't large enough for them to finish races.
Even worse: they won't be able to make the necessary changes before the Spanish Grand Prix!

Fuel tank not big enough for Virgin to finish races
Virgin has been given a green light by the FIA to make a substantial change to its 2010 chassis.
Although the chassis is homologated for cost reasons and therefore not able to be modified, it has emerged that the new British team discovered that the fuel tank in the VR-01 car is not big enough.
In fact, with normal engine settings, the Cosworth-powered car - if sufficiently reliable - currently would not make it to the end of a race, according to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
It is believed Virgin has been permitted to make the change, which will not be ready for a few more events, on the grounds of the 'cost or reliability' test.
The magazine said the revised chassis, to require a longer underbody, new engine cover and other bodywork, should be ready to debut in Spain in early May.
The situation, however, has put on hold any other car improvements for Virgin, given that it would make little sense to introduce new bodywork now if it must be substantially revised for the new fuel tank package in Barcelona.
Auto Motor und Sport also reports that a tweaked diffuser is not the only altered piece on the 2010 McLaren in Melbourne this weekend.
The report said the FIA requested that the Woking based team also alter a blade dimension on its front wing.

Fantastic. I've been looking around for this sort of information for a while. The new points system doesn't do a lot really, except reward the lower place finishes proportionally more, such as Liuzzi.Cromoseta wrote:WM standings with old points system:

Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
I love what you described as the 'very old system' as I think the rewards are very fair... but I accept that more points positions are needed now.
P.S. The very very very old system would have 8 for a win and include fastest lap! I wonder how that would look!
Answer:
Alonso 12
Massa 10
Button 8
Kubica 6
Hamilton 4
Rosberg 4
Vettel 3
Webber 1

Outboard mirrors banned
Working mirrors should not be sacrificed for aerodynamic gain.
Good move.Outboard mirrors are to be banned from Formula 1 with effect from the Chinese Grand Prix in two weeks' time, AUTOSPORT has learned, following concerns over poor visibility from sidepod-mounted mirrors creating a safety issue.
Several teams have mounted their mirrors on the sidepods of their cars for aerodynamic reasons, with Ferrari and Red Bull Racing's mirror positioning the most dramatic. But from Shanghai onwards, the mirrors will have to be fitted on the cockpit sides on safety grounds.
Drivers had said in Melbourne last weekend that they would be speaking to the FIA about the mirror problem. Several issues of accidental blocking in practice were put down to poor rear visibility.
"Everyone has got a problem with mirrors," said Sauber's Pedro de la Rosa in Australia. "The reality is that the mirrors on the sidepods, they give you very small vision of what is happening behind and they vibrate a lot so you see very little.
"So if you don't have a lot of information coming from the radio, then you have a problem. You can see when you have a car straight behind okay, but when it is two seconds behind you have no idea where it is.
"Everyone has the same problem, but since the mirrors have gone outboard this is a problem - as they are aerodynamic devices now."
But Ferrari's Felipe Massa said he was quite happy with his team's mirror design.
"I have no problem with my visibility," he insisted. "So, if it is the same I prefer to keep what I have, but we will see how it is going to be. I hope we don't lose anything moving the mirrors from one side to the other."
Working mirrors should not be sacrificed for aerodynamic gain.

brawn's mirrors last year were nice......it's an aero device as well obviously.......wanna bet teams will create a design as such.
