F1 2013 Season

(This article contains fanon information, this isn't the actual F1 2013 season)

The 2013 Formula 1 Season was the 64th season of Formula One.

Team changes

 * USF1 went into administration just before the Canadian Grand Prix due to lack of funds. The team was initially allowed to race at the Canadian Grand Prix since they have already arrived, but after failing to repay their debts were pulled from F1. During the break between the German and Hungarian Grand Prix, Gene Haas bought out the team and rebranded it as "Haas USF1 Team" for the reminder of the season. The new team was considered a separate entity.

Driver changes

 * Michael Schumacher announced his retirement for the second time after 2012 due to poor results and not wanting to tarnish his legacy further. Mercedes signed Heikki Kovalainen on a one-year deal while searching for a more permanent option for 2014.
 * Nick Heidfeld retired at the end of 2012. BMW hired its test driver Esteban Gutierrez to partner Hulkenberg in 2013.
 * Valtteri Bottas switched roles with Bruno Senna at Williams, becoming a full time driver while Senna became a test driver.
 * Caterham hired Charles Pic from Marussia and rookie Giedo van der Garde.
 * Marussia hired two rookies: Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton.
 * USF1 retained Alexander Rossi and hired GP2 runner-up Luiz Razia in place of de la Rosa, who left the team after 2012.

Mid season changes

 * Kimi Raikkonen was injured after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He was replaced by GP2 champion Davide Valsecchi.
 * Esteban Gutierrez was replaced by Timo Glock at the Belgian and Italian Grands Prix. He returned to his seat for the next three Grands Prix, before leaving the team after the Korean Grand Prix. Glock drove the remaining four races.
 * After the reinstation of USF1 as Haas US F1, Luiz Razia failed to secure sponsorship for the team. The Brazilian drove at the Hungarian Grand Prix due to short notice, but was then demoted to the team's test driver as Davide Valsecchi on loan from Lotus took his place. When Valsecchi was called by Lotus before the USA Grand Prix, Razia returned to his seat for the remaining two races.

Calendar changes

 * The European Grand Prix was discontinued.
