The Chassis
The FIA envisages common parts for numerous areas of the chassis. For example, standard suspension and wheels (ie standard "corners"), a standard underbody and other parts, which are currently, the subject of major expenditure, but add nothing to the spectacle or to the public interest of Formula One.
Other measures, such as a minimum height for the centre of gravity, restrictions on the use of certain materials or the homologation of certain major components (eg the "tub") for a period of time, may also be appropriate. We invite FOTA to make proposals together with a time scale for introduction.
Race procedures
The FIA would welcome suggestions for changes to the rules for going racing, with a view to reducing costs. We believe that priority should be given to things, which the public cannot see (eg telemetry) rather than visible parts of "the show" (eg refuelling during the race).
The FIA would also like to hear teams' views about the distribution of garage space and space in the pit lane.
