Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest F1 changes

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

Fun night, watched Gerhard Berger give his phone number to anything that moved, Martin Leach (then CEO of Maserati) so drunk/jet lagged that I thought he was going to piss on my shoes in the men's room, and got 5 minutes with Jean Todt one on one explaining the Shanghai expat life while Roberto Ronchi and my wife were having a drink together. Roberto was trying to get her to buy the MC12C from the grand opening of the Ferrari dealer in Puxi and seemed a bit desperate. Both on trying to sell the car and to talk to a western woman...

One item that got their attention probably was the fact that if you compare Nico’s first six laps in Barcelona with the first six race laps by Kimi in 2008 (safety car on first lap, hence the “first race laps”).. Kimi would have been up by 35 (yes THIRTY FIVE!) seconds after those six laps.  And this is the ultimate racing?

Well said...

 

I do welcome refueling back.  Adds another element of strategy.

 

As for the last item, anyone that is important to should really consider track and field events instead of motor racing.

The Formula 1 Strategy Group met on Friday in Biggin Hill to exchange views on the current challenges that F1 faces. Besides the statuary members of the Group, representatives of the engine manufacturers were also invited.

The Strategy Group members have debated a number of levers aimed at improving the show. An initial series of measures has been voted:

For 2016:

§  Free choice of the two dry tyre compounds (out of four) that each team can use during the race weekend

For 2017:

§  Faster cars: 5 to 6 seconds drop in laptimes through aerodynamic rules evolution, wider tyres and reduction of car weight

§  Reintroduction of refuelling (maintaining a maximum race fuel allowance)

§  Higher revving engines and increased noise

§  More aggressive looks

A few other measures have also been discussed but require further investigation before they can be implemented:

§  A global reflection on race weekend format

§  Measures to make starts only activated by the driver without any outside assistance

Furthermore, in light of the various scenarios presented by the independent consulting company mandated by the F1 Strategy Group, at the initiative of the FIA, to work on the reduction of costs and following a constructive exchange, a comprehensive proposal to ensure the sustainability of the sport has emerged.

The Strategy Group member Teams have committed to refine it in the next few weeks, in consultation with the other teams involved in the championship.

On the engine side, it has been decided that stability of the rules should prevail in consideration of the investments of the manufacturers involved in the sport and to give visibility to potential new entrants. The allowance for a 5th engine to be used during the 2015 season has been rejected.

This constructive meeting between the FIA, FOM and the Teams has allowed paving the way for the future of the championship. All parties agreed to work together with an intention to firm up these proposals and submit them to the approval of the F1 Commission and the World Motor Sport Council of the FIA as soon as possible for implementation.

Signed: FIA President , Jean Todt & Formula One Group CEO, Bernie Ecclestone
