Commission to vote on Grand Prix rules change

THE short-term future of Grand Prix racing will be put to a vote today when the Formula One Commission meets to discuss radical regulation changes for the 2006 season.

A brand new qualifying format and the re-introduction of tyre changes during races are top of the agenda for the long -awaited meeting between the sport’s biggest names, which will take place in central London.

Max Mosley, president of the sport’s governing body the FIA, and Formula One commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone will meet with the team bosses as well as representatives of the sport’s key sponsors and promoters.
