a few websites are running quotes/articles from Wolff commenting on the new radio ban with Wolff suggesting in a positive way that it will lead to more driver errors variable results etc.
but as far as i can tell no articles highlighting exactly which types of radio communications will and will not be allowed. more details to come i would imagine. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/123148 |

lol there was a link embedded in the article of the changes proposed last year.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/120465/ From the one-minute signal, and until the race-start signal, the only permitted messages are to tell a driver of a critical problem with the car, e.g. puncture warning or damage, or to inform him of a problem with a competitor's car. |

According to Motorsport dot com, http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/an...to-677975/?s=1 , there might still be some doubt as to whether the new qualifying musical chairs style rules will actually come into force at Melbourne, or indeed ever. As commented earlier in this thread (I believe) several teams have thought better about the proposal since they voted it through at the Strategy Group meeting, as well as BCE, and the above website is interpreting the FIA's communiqué as indicating that the new rule for the qualifying needs to be agreed by the Strategy Group and go through the process again.
The fly in the ointment would seem to be, principally, that Ferrari have now decided that they are against the proposal, and that this will allow them to use their veto to stop it in it's tracks (no pun intended!). This season has all the ingredients to make it a humdinger, but unfortunately only off the circuits. |

Isn't the first time Bernie's made them sign something before they've had time to think about it. No wonder F1 is such a mess

Speed increase meaningless if drivers aren't on the limit - Webber.

Ahh, yes. The Fezza veto.
Just beats me why it has taken so long for the collective penny to drop. |

What would have happened if they aced the opposition by 3 secs a lap in testing? |

So what's the thing with the new tyre rules? It's now three sets, but are they still doing the compulsory tyre stop?

Mercedes were simply running through a sensible test programme concentrating on the areas they need to. Reliability, set-up and development was the order of the day. They have an advantage carry over from last year and didn't need to bolt on sets of ultra-super-duper sorts. Their main rationale was to gain the most out of testing, rather than sandbagging in case someone gets upset. Apart from anything else if they were sandbagging they did an awful job of it as it is clear for anyone who knows anything about F1, and I assume Bernie and FIA do, that they have the strongest car by a decent margin. |

Sorry Adam, I got it in my head that you were criticising Mercedes for not running in qualifying trim.
Glossing bits and pieces between other tasks. My bad. |

Looks like Lewis is in favour of giving the new qualifying format a go.

Does anyone have any kind of info on Ferrari's "veto" that they have? Is it just the one team (ie Ferrari) that has this power within F1?

Yes, it is only Ferrari that has the power of a veto, although over the years it's use has been curtailed. It was initially granted as part of a new contract agreement that Mr E conducted with Ferrari about 20 years ago in order to get Ferrari to break ranks with the rest of the F1 teams. Typical Bernie tactic, divide and rule!

I'm not sure if someone has already suggested this, but I can see that the qualifying change will indeed increase the spectacle and mix up the grid, just not in the way they were expecting. I can imagine the spectacle as post-qualifying steward's meeting taking longer than qualifying itself as the line of drivers argue that they were eliminated because driver X held them up on a fast lap. And the grid will be mixed up as the penalties are applied and the starting grid shows little resemblance to the order in which they finish qualifying.

I think this is the plan, create as much controversy and outrage as possible, and hopefully the motor racing press buys into it! F1 finally goes WWF. Perhaps they should get a bear pit and get the drivers to sort out their grievances amongst themselves after qualifying. Last edited by wnut; 11 Mar 2016 at 07:33. |
