\nDrivers must maintain race position while safety car in use \u2013 entry to pits or overtaking forbidden.
\n
\nGPS marshalling system:<\/em>
\nLED lights fitted in cockpit or steering wheel alert drivers to track conditions – more effective than flags. Blue colour means faster car trying to overtake; red colour mean race stopped and yellow colour means danger ahead, slow down. <\/p>\n
\nA few modifications have been for cockpit safety purposes.<\/p>\n
\nEngine design as used during last two races of 2006 must remain in use until 2010 \u2013 only minor alterations allowed.<\/p>\n
\nThis rule no longer applies to Friday practice sessions<\/p>\n
\nTwo different specifications allowed per weekend \u2013 both must be used during race. Four sets allowed on Friday, 10 for remainder of weekend. Bridgestone become the sole supplier in F1.<\/p>\n
\nTwo sessions extended from 60 minutes to 90 minutes each. Only two cars per team, with one test driver permitted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
