There are going to be some changes to F1 in 2008. I think some of the ones listed below are going to raise some eyebrows.
The major changes are:
* Engine specification to be frozen from 2008-10 with designs having to be submitted to the FIA for homologation by 1 June 2006
* A single tyre supplier to be appointed for 2008-2010 following a tender process
* Slick tyres re-allowed
* A ban on all tyre-warming devices
* Testing restricted to a maximum of 30,000km (18,600 miles) per team per calendar year
* A ban on spare cars
* A weight penalty of 15kg if an engine is replaced before the end of its two-race cycle, replacing the current 10-place grid penalty system
* Gearboxes to last four races with a 15kg weight penalty for each change
* Drivers whose cars stop on the circuit during qualifying will not be allowed to take any further part in the session
* Requirement for new teams to lodge a $48 million deposit with the FIA dropped
* Major car manufacturers will be not be able to supply engines to more than two teams
Thoughts on the above please.
