Today, the governing body of motorsport FIA informed F1 teams of the conditions that will
apply at Silverstone's Young Driver Training Test, which is scheduled to take place from July 17-19.
The announcement follows a meeting of Formula 1’s
Sporting Committee on Wednesday, July 3 at the Nürburgring, prior the
German Grand Prix. The
conditions set out are in accordance with Article 22.4(h)(i) of the Formula 1
Sporting Regulations, as recently amended by the World Motor Sport
Council and are as follows:
1.) The Young Driver Training Test will remain a three-day test, from July 17-19.
2.) Only the 2012 construction will be used for the test but with the hard, medium and soft 2013 compounds.
3.) The
test will now allow teams to field drivers who have competed in more
than two F1 World Championship events provided that the purpose of them
doing this is to test tyres for Pirelli.
4.) In
order to meet this requirement, all teams shall ensure that any changes
made to a car at these times are exclusively related to the tyre tests
set out in the run plan provided by Pirelli.
5.) An FIA observer will be appointed to ensure the regulations are being followed.
