Team Bosses Agree F1 Changes

The proposed radical rule changes for Formula One (this site 23.04.2004) have been agreed by team bosses at a meeting in Monaco, where FIA President Max Mosley outlined the proposals, designed to make racing cheaper and more exciting.

The meeting agreed that there should be one tyre supplier only and Mosley said that having a control tyre would be safer and less expensive – if everybody had the same, levels of grip and thus cornering speed could be controlled. It was possible, he added, that, with one supplier only, slick tyres could make a come-back in place of the current grooved tyres. .
