Those new F1 rules in full

[HongKongPhooey]

Following unfortunate misunderstandings in the Grands Prix at Valencia and Spa, the FIA has revised the Red Car Rule for Formula 1. These amendments will be applied with immediate effect:

1) Overtaking a Ferrari is not permitted under any circumstances.

2) In the pit lane, a Ferrari always has precedence over other cars.

3) Any driver finishing less than 25 seconds ahead of a Ferrari will be penalized 25 seconds.*

4) If neither Ferrari finishes in first place, the stewards reserve the right to declare the result null and void (or to adjust it as necessary).

5) Only Ferrari drivers are permitted to use anything other than ‘designated’ parts of a circuit.

6) If forced off the ‘designated’ part of the track by a Ferrari, the guilty driver should immediately crash his car and return to the pits

6) Any driver or team appealing against any FIA decision in favour of Ferrari may be subject to a fine and/or the deduction of points.

*Subject to post-race adjustment by the stewards.

What about rules 7,8 & 9?

7) Only a Ferrari can be work on under Parc Ferme conditions

8) If a ferrari driver or the team break the rules no time or grid penalties will apply. A small fine can be applied after the race. The fine must be paid in cash in the usual brown envelope to the FIA and placed in the usual place.

9) If any F1 driver has the ambition of driving for the 'prancing horse' he/she must not question any decisions made by the FIA, doing so will limit your chances of a drive with our team. (misprint, sorry when we say our team we mean Ferrari)

That just about covers it.
