Anderson happy with new regulations

Jaguar's technical director Gary Anderson has praised the FIA's revised rules on pit lane speed limiters. The devices were to be banned, but after complaints from the teams, a workable compromise was sought

"I think the final decision - where the pit limiter still actually functions between 50km/h and 80km/h - is the right one," said Anderson, in response to the function that will not allow teams to use the limiter as a form of traction control.

"The changes have been extensive and expensive," said Anderson. "But we've got everything done now and we're reasonably happy that everything functions. I suppose we weren't down the path as far as other people, so it wasn't so difficult for us, but it's still been hard work."

In addition, teams will have to fit their speed sensors to the front wheels which will not enable them to measure - and consequently curb - wheelspin.

"I agree with the decision to force teams to remove many of their electronic gizmos," Martin Brundle, ITV's F1 pundit told The Express newspaper, though the former Jordan driver believed that the FIA should go much further in banning electronic technology.
