    2121 F1 rules are here .





    Or are they ...


    Although the rules have been unanimously approved by the World Council, there remains a degree of doubt about whether they will be adopted.

    This rests on the fact that Ferrari, who have been resolute in their opposition to the specifics of the rules but not their objectives, have within their contract a right of veto of any rule changes they believe to be counter to their interests.

    Ferrari, who have a seat on the World Council, have five days to exercise the veto before the option lapses. They declined to comment on the new rules when approached by BBC Sport on Thursday.

    Incredible achievement.

    You wouldn't bet against him adding to that total either.

    Premiership and European Champions Saracen are currently bottom of the Premiership on -26 points after a 35 point deduction and £5.36 million fine for breaching the salary cap in the previous 3 seasons.

    They will appeal:

    Even though the title was never particularly in doubt, there has been an awful lot of good racing this season. The last ten races have been about as competitive as any for a number of years now:

    HAM - 164
    BOT - 130
    LEC - 129
    VER - 124
    VET - 107

    And even that undersells it a bit, because the primary reason Hamilton leads in that stretch is that he has finished every race.

    Good to see Ferrari shooting themselves in the foot again. The Brexit of F1.
