Changes in F1 regulation for the next years:
2013 - Technical Regulation
- Introduction of stricter tests on deformation of the front airfoils(due RBR rubber nose).
- Small changes in the structure of the scroll bar front.
- Raising the minimum weight of the car to compensate for increased weight of tires.
- Elimination of the subsidy "force majeure" when a car on the track after qualifying, (elimination of the subsidy "for reasons of force majeure" to avoid controversy when cars stop on the track after qualifying sessions.
That was one of the ways used by the teams to try to avoid punishment when they knew that the car would not have your pilot a minimum of 1 liter tank needed to provide the mandatory FIA sample as if returned to the pits. In 2012, incidents of the kind yielded the declassification of Vettel and Hamilton, respectively, from the pactice/qualifications of GPs in Abu Dhabi and Spain, leting both in end of the starting grid, despite claims of RBR and McLaren).
From 2013, regardless of the reason for stopping the track, the FIA will calculate how much fuel the car would use to return to the pits and add the amount to a minimum of 1 liter!!
- All chassis will undergo tests with the application of maximum load (just before one was tested with the highest weight and others, with 20% load minor).
2013 - Sporting Regulations
- For reasons of safety, the use of DRS for qualifying will be allowed only at the site that will be used in racing
- Within weeks of GPs, the curfew on the night of Thursday to spend six to eight hours. Will be allowed only two breaks during the year instead of four.
2014 - Technical Regulation
- Requirement that the cars are powered with electricity in the pit lane was postponed to 2017.
- Series engine regulation changes were made in order to limit the technology in order to reduce costs.
- Changes in chassis designed to reduce downforce and drag were discarded, returning to the specifications of 2012.
- Raising the minimum weight of the car to compensate for increased weight of engines.
