Za iduću sezonu su se svi već spremili za veliku promjenu tehničkog pravilnika. No, očekuje nas i nekoliko dodataka u sportskom pravilniku.

Evo što se promijenilo u sportskom pravilniku za 2017. godinu.

Više goriva

Maksimalna količina goriva u bolidu je povećana s dosadašnjih 100 kilograma jer se očekuje da će novi bolidi biti malo više žedni od trenutnih.

“No car is permitted to consume more than 105kg of fuel, from the time at which the signal to start the race is given to the time each car crosses the Line after the end-of-race signal has been given.”

Nema nizanja pogonskih jedinica

Ekipe neće više moći izvoditi ono što su ove godine napravili kod Mercedesa i Ferrarija. Naime, ako se čak i dogodi da momčadi stave više novih elemenata u bolid na jednoj utrci – u daljnjem tijeku sezone moći će koristiti samo posljednji element, a ove prije ne.

“During any single event, if a driver introduces more than one of the same power unit element which is subject to penalties, only the last element fitted may be used at subsequent events without further penalty.”

Pirelli bira gume za prvih 5 utrka

Broj određenih komponenti guma za prvih pet utrka sezone birat će Pirelli, a ne ekipe kao što je to bio slučaj ove sezone. Pirelli će i dalje birati koje komponente će se koristiti kojeg vikenda.

“For the first five events of the 2017 championship season only, the… selection procedure will not be used. For these events the supplier will allocate two sets of the hardest compound specification, four sets of the medium compound specification and seven sets of the softest compound specification to each driver.”

Promjena dizajna kacige

Sebastian Vettel – VN Japana 2010.

Iako su ne tako davno zabranili mijenjanje dizajna kacige vozača – FIA je sad malo fleksibilnija po tom pitanju – dozvolit će mijenjanje kacige na jednom vikendu (po odabiru vozača), te ako vozač promijeni ekipu tijekom sezone.

“In order for drivers to be easily distinguished from one another whilst they are on the track, the crash helmet of each driver must, with the exception of one event of the driver’s choice, be presented in substantially the same livery at every Event during a championship season. A change to helmet livery will also be permitted if a driver changes team during a championship season.”

FIA je također potrožila sigurnosne standarde za kacige mehaničara:

“All team personnel carrying out any work on a car in the pit lane when the car is in its pit stop position during the qualifying practice session, or during a race pit stop, must be wearing helmets which meet or exceed the requirements of ECE 22.05 – European motorcycle road helmet, DOT – USA motorcycle road helmet or JIS T8133-2015, class 2 – JPN protective helmets for motor vehicle users. The use of appropriate eye protection is compulsory.”

Dodatne kišne gume za posljednji trening

FIA će sada konzultirati prognostičare kako bi odlučili treba li ekipama dati dodatan set kišnih guma za posljednji slobodni trening.

“If neither P1 nor P2 are declared wet, but the likelihood of P3 being declared wet is deemed by the FIA to be high, one additional set of intermediate tyres will be made available to all drivers. Under such circumstances, one set of intermediate tyres must be electronically returned before the start of the qualifying practice session.”

Nesigurno puštanje iz boksa

To je pravilo sada sročeno kudikamo pažljivije, a kaže da bolidi ne smiju napustiti garažu ili pit-stop poziciju na način koji bi mogao ugroziti mehaničare u pit-laneu ili drugog vozača.

“Cars must not be released from a garage or pit stop position in way that could endanger pit lane personnel or another driver.”
