Possible FIA licences for all team personnel  

As discussed earlier in the season, the FIA is considering licences for all who work in Formula 1 in order to avoid such situations as the complicated aftermath to the ‘Crashgate’ race-fixing saga; however, no decision is confirmed as yet

Safety Car restarts  

Following the Monaco confusion, the FIA states that no passing must take place if the Safety Car is on-track during the final lap, although it will peel into the pit lane before the field takes the chequered flag; at any other point in a Grand Prix, racing may resume after the final Safety Car line has been crossed

No more slow runners

Drivers will still see a countdown timer in their cockpits when the Safety Car is deployed and must not complete a lap before the timer reaches zero, in order to avoid quick laps in order to make up lost time when the Safety Car is on-track.

However, timers will also now apply for in-laps during qualifying and reconnaissance laps when the pit lane opens (ie. before the race start); in these cases, a maximum time will be established at each track to return to the Safety Car line from the pit exit line - penalties will be applied to those who take longer to complete the lap

107 percent rule returns for qualifying

The 107 percent qualifying rule returns for Q1, meaning any driver who fails to lap within 107 percent of the P1 lap time will not start Sunday’s race

Driver-adjustable bodywork to aid overtaking

Drivers now have the power to adjust wings in order to aid overtaking; the electronic systems which allow this will be activated two laps into races and will only be usable when a driver is 1 second behind the car in front – the system will then disable automatically when the brakes are applied.

The 1 second margin may be changed following discussions between the FIA and teams/drivers

F-ducts and other aerodynamic influences officially banned  

Any devices which can be adjusted by a driver movement (such as a rear wing-stalling f-duct) to alter aerodynamic performance are banned as of 2011, as already agreed amongst teams

Car weight increases  

Car weights increase to 640kg next year in order to allow KERS to be used without forcing drivers to shed body weight to stay within car weight boundaries

Fuel draining

If a fuel sample is required by the FIA after practice or qualifying, the car in question must be able to return to the pits under its own power – putting a stop to such moments as Lewis Hamilton’s in Canadian Grand Prix qualifying  

Tung granted Superlicence  

Dutch-Chinese GP2 driver Ho-Pin Tung (Renault tester) is granted a Superlicence by the FIA; although the DAMS pilot has not racked up 300 kilometres of test mileage, he is allowed special dispensation in accordance with GP2 results and F1 testing times – however, the Superlicence will be withdrawn if a questionable incident occurs over the course of his first four F1 weekends (a similar situation applied with the inexperienced Kimi Räikkönen back in 2001)

Safety car rules tweaked in response to Valencia


Formula One's safety car rules have been tweaked in the wake of the Valencia controversy.

The rule change, agreed by the teams and race director Charlie Whiting, addresses Ferrari's complaint that Fernando Alonso was disadvantaged by following the rules and not overtaking the safety car, while McLaren's Lewis Hamilton broke the rules, served a penalty but still finished the race in second place.

Despite pressure to see the pits closed under safety car conditions, it has been agreed that the drivers will instead slow to the same speed as the safety car, no matter where they are on the track. Previously, drivers only had to keep within 120% of a flying lap time.

Under the new regulations the idea is that nobody will be able to gain a Hamilton-style advantage by getting back to the pits for a tyre change quicker than his competitors. Once the on-track positions have been determined and everything has settled down, the drivers will be allowed to bunch up behind the safety car to restart the race.

In the meeting, Whiting also promised the teams that efforts will be made to issue penalties like Hamilton's faster in the future. In Valencia, Hamilton's penalty was delayed because the race director did not request the stewards' investigation until after the Mark Webber crash was dealt with. But in future, potential penalties will be passed immediately to the attention of the stewards, while the race director can continue to focus on a Webber-like incident.

Moreover, because the arrival of crucial evidence about the Hamilton incident also slowed down the in-race investigation, there will now be cameras constantly monitoring the safety car lines 1 and 2. There will also be trackside markings that show the location of the safety car lines, so that a driver cannot argue he did not notice the lines from his driving position.

berat kereta bertambah utk taruk sistem KERS dalam kereta F1..termasuk jugak dgn peraturan tak isi minyak jadi chasis pun akan berubah utk menampung berat KERS dan Full tank minyak..sure engineer pening kepala mane nak taruk KERS tu..if tak betul akan problem distribution weight seperti yg dialami oleh team mercedesGp

another complaint by ferrari but was denied by................

Whiting: We warned Ferrari three times
14 July 2010

FIA Race Director Charlie Whiting has moved to deny claims that race stewards waited too long before handing out Fernando Alonso’s drive-through penalty at Silverstone. The Englishman has also revealed that he warned the Maranello team on no less than three occasions before the punishment was handed out.

The matter goes back to half an hour into the British Grand Prix, when Alonso overtook Robert Kubica’s Renault by cutting the apex of Club Corner. With the former double Champion having argued that he had no option but to avoid the Pole’s car, Whiting has now made public the fact that he cautioned Ferrari about a penalty.


“I warned Ferrari three times that it would be better to put things right with Kubica,” he explained to Italian publication Autosprint, having suggested that Alonso should hand the position back to his good friend.

“The first time I radioed in immediately, just after Alonso passed Kubica; I said that, if Fernando gave the position back to Robert, the stewards would not have to intervene. But Ferrari did not comply. In the third statement I noted that Kubica was now too far back to reverse the places.”

With this matter following Alonso’s Valencia comments, which described the European Grand Prix as ‘manipulated’ with regards to the Lewis Hamilton Safety Car pass, Whiting stresses that the decision-makers are continuing to act fairly.

“It is absolutely not true that the stewards took a long time before deciding on the drive-through penalty for Alonso,” he emphasised, “and it came for an undeniable advantage by cutting the corner.”
