28-Mar-08: FIA Set to Tweak Qualifying Ahead of Bahrain
Hi everyone, this is F1 Minute for the 28th March.
According to Autosport.com, the FIA are set to tweak qualifying just slightly before the Bahrain Grand Prix. The new rules will see a maximum lap time imposed, so that there will be less danger of ridiculously slow in laps. An FIA spokesman has said that the matter is still under discussion but the maximum could be 120% of a normal lap time.
Massimo Rivola is the team manager of Toro Rosso, and he has joined the rising voice of concern about the lack of night running teams will get to do ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. Apparently, Rivola has already spoken to Charlie Whiting about the first Friday practice session being in the daylight. He wants the matter added to the next meeting of the Sporting Working Group.
Finally, the former President of the FIA Jean-Marie Balestre has passed away in France at the age of 86. Max Mosley paid tribute to him saying: “His contribution to motor sport in France and indeed throughout the world has been unique.”
That’s all for this week. Join me on Monday for another F1 Minute.

Hi, i think every-one’s having a bit of a sabbatical at the moment.I haven’t posted anything for a week and i’ve not seen anything new on pep and maxs’ channel either.It’s the lull after an exciting start to the season.
Finding something new on your site after last week is a bit like finding a pub or cafe open on a rainy Sunday, thanks.Your latest vid should breath some energy back into my site, cheers my dears.
I tried to post this comment on your youtube site, but it didn’t post for some reason.
Roll on next weekend.
