Why F1's new engine rules are creating friction
A major decision over Formula 1's future was reached last week when agreement was reached to postpone and alter the new engine rules. Dieter Rencken examines how it unfolded - and what issues remain

As is now common knowledge the meeting agreed to go the turbocharged (but eco) V6 route from 2014 onwards.
