F1: Tyred and emotional	by Mathias Olaf Uncertain 4th Dec 2013

Formula 1 drivers will be forced to make two pitstops, as well as face a strict limit on how long they can stay out for, if proposals for new 2014 tyre rules are accepted by teams next month. dotdotdotcomma has learned* that detailed tweaks to the regulations, which will have a dramatic impact on strategy and spectacle, have been tabled for discussion at next month's F1 Strategy Group meeting. According to our exclusive source, drivers "will not be allowed to use the 'prime' specification of tyres for more than 50 per cent of the race distance, while the 'option' compound will not be allowed to be used for more than 30 per cent of the race distance". Erm, prime no more than 50 per cent...? Option no more than 30 per cent...? Only two tyre specifications available...? Hmm, it’s a funny thing you know. Now that I’ve actually come to tell the story to someone else, I mean - doesn’t it strike you as odd? * by reading Autosprout, of course.
