I know the answers are on this forum somewhere but i'm going to ask the question anyway . . . . . Exactly what are the rule changes coming into F1 next year?!

If I remember rightly, slicks and wider cars returning and all those stupid ugly little winglets and fins being banned. And also some kind of limit on development.

[certom]

are u sure about the slicks and the width?

I remember reading somewhere that they would come back for 2008, but then Max said no, then changed his mind again.

I'm surprised that limiting race fuel hasn't been suggested. (i.e. all teams start the race with the same amount of fuel, and can't re-fuel at pitstops).

This would help stop races being won by strategies and pit stops, make pit stops safer, and encourage teams to develop their engines to be more fuel efficient (it's the future! ), the money the manufacturers invest making their engines more fuel efficient would benefit road cars. It would also fix the farcical q3 sessions that we currently have.

yeah this should be a great thing, but it would be a return to the past, and today no one want this, we should go back to the formula 1 of the '80s, but those chicken heads (max and bernie) should make some progress..

I don't think the q3 is farcical anymore. The drivers race around the track quite fast even during the first half or so. And the second half of it is as thrilling as it gets for a quali session.

you dont see Fuel burning in the current climate as an issue?

12 laps 1 hour see whos fastest simple and easy!

[welshie]

The only problem with that is is the fact that no-one would buy a sat ticket!

that reminds me of the old system, or improve on that, who ever finishes last, starts on pole, THEN its more interesting, to see who can get thru the field quickly!
