The best aspect to a new year is that it signals the countdown to Formula One's return, which will take place on February 1st at the Valencia circuit.


With a few new rules and a whole host of new faces, as well as the return of Michael Schumacher, F1 has a great deal to look forward to this season and it all starts in Valencia.


Although it has yet to be confirmed, all 13 teams, four of which are brand new to the sport, should be present at Valencia as there are just 15 days of action in the month of February in which to get ready for the season-opening Bahrain GP on March 14.
