It's being reported that fuel injection has no timetable and may not go into effect this season afterall.

Also..... The new nose for 2011: Having more of an aerodynamic impact than many expected and has become a large focus of off-season prep. Some teams found new nose also put more stress on engine via higher oil & water temperatures, so much more work to be done on cooling systems. And..... On new nose, teams also finding while it has more clearance than old splitter, if it makes contact with track, it's much more rigid.

I'm sure the real difference in engine temperature is almost non-existant, or they wouldn't be running it. Can't be any worse than a hot dog wrapper, or being glued to a rear bumper for 3 laps.
