Also I don't think it was posted in here but double points, standing restarts and the regulation on team radio communication were all dropped for next year.

Is there a comprehensive list of the changes for next year?

Sorry to break up the Good Posts, but Wikipedia is pretty good with keeping up with the changes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Formula_One_season

Some of these rules sound weird, such as the one about lapped cars in front of the safety car. I also thought the radio rule was dropped.

It took me way too long to realize that edit-warring is about an edit war and isn't an edit warning. You'd think those uptight assholes would find a grammatically correct phrase instead of "edit-warring."

I know it's the Daily Mail but they're saying that it's going to be Button and Alonso next year. They're also saying that Ron Dennis only kept him because Honda and other shareholders like him.

FIA Accident Panel: "All rescue and medical procedures were followed, and their expediency are considered to have contributed significantly to the saving of Bianchi’s life."

http://www.fia.com/news/accident-panel

But there's also this:

quote:

FIA chief medical officer Jean-Charles Piette: "The main referral hospital, which is Mie General Medical Centre, is 15km from the circuit. The distance by road is supposed to be 25 minutes under normal circumstances.

"When Jules had his accident, the chief medical officer told me at that moment that the helicopter can take off from the circuit but cannot land at the hospital.

"So we decided, as initially thought from the morning, to use a resuscitation ambulance to go to hospital. With a police escort, the duration of the transfer was 32 minutes."

DC only has one weakness in his otherwise thoughtful and witty commentary... the fact that he uses the word "crucially" once every 3 minutes.

I watched this race again a while ago thinking maybe the pain would be gone, but no it still stung...badly. Because it was so so crazy they didn't bring him in much earlier than they did. He was losing time hand over fist laps before this happened and then around 2 laps before this, you could see the tire carcass and yet the absolute idiots at McLaren told him to stay out....probably because of what some computer said. There has never been a better illustration of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as the clusterfuck that is McLaren pitwall that year.

If Ferrari were looking for a true development driver and one who could bring them back to the winning path then they should've hired none other than Pastor Maldonado, after all, he was the man responsible for dragging Williams out of the gutter they were in and made them win a race once again after a 20 year drought.

Keep in mind that Haas bought their base and some of their equipment. They don't have a car that meets the 2015 requirements and probably don't have enough equipment to put the car together at Melbourne.
