The Formula 1 Commission met in London on Tuesday to discuss the matters
of the moment in Formula 1 and decided on a number of new measures for
the future. There was no vote of no confidence in FIA President Max
Mosley and, in the recent F1 tradition, everything was "very positive".
This is a good thing but does lead one to ask why there had not been a
meeting of the commission for the last 15 months. The turnout was good
with only Australia's race promoter Ron Walker missing. The 10 team
owners all attended, along with seven promoters: Tamas Rohonyi (Brazil),
Normand Legault (Canada), Masaru Unno (Japan), Rene Isoart (Monaco),
Enrico Ferrari (Italy), Sebastian Salvado (Spain) and Hermann Tomcyzk
(Germany). There were two sponsors representatives: Peter Harris
(Vodafone) and Neil England (Gallaher); one engine representative
(Bernard Ferguson of Cosworth) and a tyre representative (Hiroshi
Yasukawa of Bridgestone). In addition Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley
attended in their roles as Commercial Rights Holder and FIA President.
The commission looked at the question of qualifying and a majority voted
to accept the new idea of three-phase qualifying with five cars dropping
out after a first 15-minute session and another five after a second
period. The remaining 10 cars would then fight for pole in a 20-minute
final session. This means that tyres will be free with the only
restriction being that drivers are restricted to 28 identical tyres for
the weekend. This means that tyre stops will be introduced in 2006.
There was no discussion about the F1 calendar.
The commission then looked at the latest idea for regulations in 2008 and
agreed that the new rear wing idea is a good idea and agreed in principle
for this to be part of a package that will now go to the Technical
Worling Group for further tinkering. This will include slick tyres, a
single tyre supplier and the new rear wings.
The single tyre supplier is, inevitably, controversial and it is somewhat
surprising that this went through although the team's voting is a complex
thing which means that if six or more teams agree on something, the 12
votes which the teams control go towards the vote. If one assumes that
next year's Bridgestone teams all voted for the idea there will have been
five teams in favour of the idea. In such a situation the team vote is
split in two and six votes go for the idea and six go against the idea.
Our understanding is that the vote had 19 votes in favour from a possible
total of 26, which means that half the team votes went against the idea
and, presumably, Bridgestone abstained as it was not in a position to
vote.
The plan is for the new rules package to be introduced in 2007, a year
ahead of schedule.

che fico! :-(((
Più pitstops per tutti!
meno bravura per i piloti nel gestire le gomme
meno granpremi ma più stint uno uguale all'altro
Per una volta che la FIA aveva imbroccato la strada giusta, fa
retromarcia... chissa perchè.....

 retromarcia... chissa perchč.....
un anno fa la FIA aveva cosě motivato l'introduzione del pneumatico
singolo:
Explanation: a tyre which must last 350 km rather than 80 km will have
less grip, reducing cornering speeds, increasing braking distances and
possibly producing less tyre debris or "marbles".
oggi qualcuno ha spinto affinchč si tornasse indietro.

 retromarcia... chissa perchč.....
Hint: meno sponsor sull'ala posteriore, piů sponsor sui "tutoni" dei
meccanici. Non si era detto "meno tecnologia, piů fattore umano"? :-)

"I think it's a clear indication for the future that we've got to get
out of this corner that we've painted ourselves into, because you can't
race these cars. It's more about pitstops and maybe the driver in front
making a mistake than actual racing now."  -- Ross Brawn, 2005

 This means that tyre stops will be introduced in 2006.
Ohhhh.
Una bella e saggia decisione.
Di nuovo GP con 4 pit-stop e se il progresso lo consente magari con 5.
Finalmente di nuovo le vetture identiche nel comportamento per tutta la 
gara con la certezza quasi matematica che chi ha 1/10 di vantaggio in 
prova ce lo avrà per tutti i 60 giri.
Finalmente un po' di VERO spettacolo.
Ma vaffanculo va.
(E come "promesso" non parlo di "politica")

oggi qualcuno ha spinto affinchè si tornasse indietro.
Mi pare che tra "spingere" e votare ci sia una lieve differenza

Le modifiche sono state votate, non imposte dalla FIA per motivi di
sicurezza, in questo caso. per cui oltre allo "spingitore", ci deve essere
stato qualcun altro che ha avuto interesse a far passare il nuovo sistema.

 Ma con quanto carburante?
Le indiscrezioni dei giorni precedenti davano la possibilità di benzina
libera per la prima parte (e quindi per gli "eliminati") e poi benzina per
la prima parte di gara per la seconda parte. Però da come è scritta la
notizia:
The remaining 10 cars would then fight for pole in a 20-minute
final session.
sembrerebbe che anche la seconda parte sia con tutti i rimasti in pista,
quindi con la scelta del momento per entrare ed il solo vincolo di
consumare forse un treno in più. Se però non ci sono limiti sul numero
di giri, mi viene difficile pensare che uno debba caricare anche la
benzina per la prima parte di gara.
