Formula 1’s governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, will propose the reduction of qualifying sessions by five minutes, from next weekend.
It also wants to abolish the use of third cars during Friday practice sessions from next season. The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council will vote on the proposals. If agreed, the changes that affect the 2006 Championship will come into force at the French Grand Prix.
The change to qualifying would mean three equal 15-minute sessions from next weekend, rather than two 15-minute knockout sessions followed by one 20-minute shoot-out for pole among the top drivers.
