Major point of new rules:
(sorry for my bad english translation)

- 1 provider of Wheel (tire)

- Engine need to survive 2 GP. Penality for changing it will be a +15kg add on the car to gain weight for penality, no more position loose on grid.

- Same +15kg for gear box change, what will have to last 4 GP.

- Max of 30.000 km of test for the complete year.

- Minimum of 20 GP per year.

- To participate in 2008 Championship, they need to subscrible between 2006, March 24 to 31.

- Rules can be change if all teamp agree and FIA goes in same way.

- Design of car will be anounce before june, to let time to all team get ready with the car.

Discussion are going on in F1 about the friday day of race weekend.

Team are no more doing alot of lap on friday, du to new rules to save theyr machanics. So instead of 3 days of race, they suggest 2 days (saturday/sunday) and keep the friday as a Private test day. All team could use different engine and tire to make some practice test for different setup for other track. That will still keep more fun for assistance.

Its only team owner like Honda and Mercedez that said it loud that it should be done like that, saying that it is a GOOD way of saiving money, if its realy what uncle 'Barny' want for F1...
