FIA wants tyre stops back
The FIA sent a fax to all the Formula One teams at Suzuka with a list of proposals for nex regulations in 2006. One of the proposals is the return of the tyre changes in the races. This is an odd move as it would mean a return to much more extreme level of tyre development and an about-face on what the federation was arguing last year in terms of the need to slow speeds with less highly-developed tyres.
The single tyre format was also designed to cut costs but clearly failed to achieve that goal and it createc questions over safety because of the dangers seen with incidents such as McLaren Mercedes driver, Kimi Raikkonen, his tyre-induced suspension failure at the European GP.
