It's been mentioned by them several times but no great emphasis.   I've noted 
that the pit guys haven't been cranking the wings as they have in former years 
at tire changes.  Also mentioned was limited to 1 change per lap max and 6 
degrees up or down  which cannot be split into 3+3 or 4+2 to get interim 
settings.
