As Pitpass predicted yesterday, following the meeting of the Formula One
Commission, a number of changes have been submitted to the members of  
the
World Motor Sport Council today for a fax vote.If agreed, any changes
which affect the 2006 regulations will come into force at the French
Grand Prix. The main proposed changes include:55) Should the stewards
decide to impose either of the penalties under Article 54a) or b), the
following procedure will be followed: However, unless the driver was
already in the pit entry for the purpose of serving his penalty, he may
not carry out the penalty after the Safety Car has been deployed. Any
laps carried out behind the Safety Car will be added to the three lap
maximum. Reason: To ensure that any time penalty is properly served115)
The qualifying practice session will take place on the day before the
race from 14.00 to 15.00.The session will be run as follows:a) From  
14.00
to 14.15 (Q1) all cars will be permitted on the track and at the end of
this period the slowest five cars, will be prohibited from taking any
further part in the session.Lap times achieved by the fifteen remaining
cars will then be deleted.b) From 14.22 to 14.37 (Q2) the fifteen
remaining cars will be permitted on the track and at the end of this
period the slowest five cars, will be prohibited from taking any further
part in the session.Lap times achieved by the ten remaining cars will
then be deleted.c) From 14.45 to 15.00 (Q3) the ten remaining cars will
be permitted on the track.The above procedure is based upon a
Championship entry of 20 cars. If 22 are entered six cars will be
excluded after Q1 and Q2 and, if 24 are entered, six cars will be
excluded after Q1 and Q2 leaving 12 cars eligible for Q3.
Reasons : 1) To ensure that each of the three periods of qualifying
finish in the same way, i.e. drivers having started a lap started by the
time the session ends will be allowed to complete it, and 2) To reduce
the length of the third period by five minutes as a number of laps
completed in this period have no relevance to grid positions58) a)  
During
a season each team will be permitted to use four drivers. Changes may be
made at any time before the start of the qualifying practice session
provided any change proposed after 16.00 on the day of scrutineering
receives the consent of the stewards.Additional changes for reasons of
force majeure will be considered separately.Any new driver may score
points in the Championship.
Reason: To eliminate the possibility for certain teams to run a third  
car
on Fridays.

A me fanno ridere. Si sono resi conto che l'ultima sessione di
qualifiche è una puttanata, e allora cosa fanno, la cambiano? No,
tolgono 5 minuti. E noi dovremmo essere grati alla FIA che ci propina 15
minuti di obbrobrio invece di 20!
Volete delle qualifiche decenti? Togliete tutte quelle regole sulla
quantità di benzina, e togliete anche l'azzeramento dei tempi tra una
sessione e l'altra.
