Early implementation for new FIA Formula 1

Listed below are the agreed items:



The engine suppliers will decide in the next four weeks between 'long-life' engines based on the current 3.0-litre specification, and the proposed new 2.4-litre V8 formula

The teams will also decide whether to accept standard ECUs before mandatory implementation in 2008, thus allowing the early introduction of a traction control ban and a mileage-based testing reduction

"The least expensive solutions" to be implemented as soon as possible for braking, steering and transmission systems

Ferrous brake discs, pads and calipers to be introduced as soon as possible

Manual gearboxes rejected because the current semi-automatic units are more economical

Chassis minimum weight reduction could be greater than the 50kg proposed, because of the deletion of electronic systems

Discussions over reducing number of performance parameters monitored by electronic sensors, and the possibility of introducing a standard data-logger

Tyre width will be reduced at the front and increased at the rear - with 'slicks' likely to return



No spare car allowed - only a spare monocoque in a pre-packed box

Cars held overnight in parc fermé and the teams allowed access to make adjustments, but not to strip and rebuild

The creation of a championship for Engine manufacturers, and/or a new-format Constructors championship, to be discussed

A ban on race tyre changes may be implemented by 2005

A dramatic reduction in testing will be imposed to the extent that entrants will no longer need to run test teams

The FIA has instructed the teams and Bernie Ecclestone to come up with a different qualifying system

Tyre manufacturers to be invited to tender to become the solus tyre supplier, starting in 2006
