- Under a safety car lapped cars will now unlap themselves and join the back of queue so they are not in the way at the restart
- Races are limited to four hours duration, including any red flag stoppages (due to the Canadian GP)
- Drivers can no longer cut corners on their way back to pits during practice and qualifying sessions (due to Vettel in Korea)
