What actually happens is that all the various options are fed into a super computer using an app called "What's the fastest method".
- Free choice of the two dry tyre compounds (out of four) that each team can use during the race weekend
- Faster cars: 5 to 6 seconds drop in laptimes through aerodynamic rules evolution, wider tyres and reduction of car weight
- Reintroduction of refuelling (maintaining a maximum race fuel allowance)
- Higher revving engines and increased noise
- More aggressive looks
A few other measures have also been discussed but require further investigation before they can be implemented:
- A global reflection on race weekend format
- Measures to make starts only activated by the driver without any outside assistance
Furthermore, in light of the various scenarios presented by the independent consulting company mandated by the F1 Strategy Group, at the initiative of the FIA, to work on the reduction of costs and following a constructive exchange, a comprehensive proposal to ensure the sustainability of the sport has emerged. The Strategy Group member Teams have committed to refine it in the next few weeks, in consultation with the other teams involved in the championship.
On the engine side, it has been decided that stability of the rules should prevail in consideration of the investments of the manufacturers involved in the sport and to give visibility to potential new entrants. The allowance for a 5th engine to be used during the 2015 season has been rejected.
Will increase Pirelli's costs substantially - which will presumably be passed onto the teams
Refuelling is a bit of a gimick
I believe it did improve the show it brought in more tactical play teams should never know how much fuel another team is using or how much is put in at a pitstop that is the point of refuelling, refuelling will make the race have far more drama I welcome refuelling with open arms I much prefer that to this shit fuel saving crap we have now, F1 isn't about fuel saving it isn't about being green it isn't about restrictions it is supposed to be about flat out racing at all times and that is something that has been lacking for far too long in my opinion I also hope they do something about this crap qualifying format as well, I've never seen qualifying so predictably boring with this system Damon Hill would have never qualified third at Hungry 1997 and he would never have been in a position to win the race or even get on the podium..you re-impose in-race refuelling to 'Improve the show', when it never did before,
