I think we only have to look at any type highlighted in dayglo pink for changes to the regs from last year.

The biggest changes, from what I can see at first glance, are the return of the 107% rule - 36.3, and one penalty free gearbox change for each car entered - 28.6(f).

I'm sure there are other bits that will become apparent when someone transgresses the particular reg or it becomes a talking point.

A few too many of that sort out and about these days if you ask me. I swear sometimes, the national IQ drops as gun ownership increases. Aside from that, if we're patient, I'm sure Alia will explain it all to us slower, lazier types.

Well, I confess I own one of my Grandfather's shotguns, but I have no shells for it, wouldn't know what size to buy, and it hasn't been fired in at least 40 years. My Mother did say she used it to hunt during the depression!!

My (and my kid's) armoury consists of 3 Nerf guns - they are a helluva lot of fun, inside and out! 

Phil, if you're reading this, go check them out for Connor.  Mom won't like them knocking over glasses and stuff, but it's almost like paint-guns, but without the sting.

I grew up with firearms, and still own several. I haven't fired any of mine since the day before yesterday.

A friend of mine has a 50 cal. muzzle loading percussion rifle. We call it a "3 man gun:"  One to hold it, one to fire it and one to pick the other two up afterward.

Cheers Dare, if your gun don't get me, firing that one will cave the back of my skull in, fine, I like you too.  :DD  :DD

Sporting regs to guns?? Only on GP Wizard folks!!  :DD

Not much chance of getting a legally held gun in Northern Ireland unless you own an estate to fire it on.

Glad to here the 107% rule is back. Should put some pressure on the back enders and make quli even better.

The guys in Q1 won't know if they're in or out until after Q3 is over. If Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso continue to go much faster in qualifying than in practice, there may be long faces in a lot of garages.

No, they only need to match 107% of the top time in Q1... that is when the good cars are using up their allocation of hard tires.  They can still fall out of 107% of the pole time.

(Cars that fail to reach this threshold may use a time from practise)

How's that for a summary?

I have read now that you may be granted an exception to the 107% rule if you have turned a faster time in any practice session. So, if you crash out before getting a good time, ala Alonso at Monaco, you will still be allowed to start at the rear. It becomes more important to do a quick time in practice, probably P3.

Sounds like they will come up with exceptions to make sure all the big teams start the race.

Good for us is that it would be smart for the teams to try to set a fast time early in practice in case something happens to the car before the race.  That way we will have a better idea of the true pace.

Hopefully the new teams will have closed the gap, and this hardly comes up anyway.
