Formula One will introduce a new qualifying format and revert to tyre changes for the start of next season after a positive meeting of the Formula One Commission in London on Monday.
A spokesman for the FIA confirmed that a knockout proposal is set to be introduced for qualifying and that the single tyre rule introduced this year will be scrapped after just one season.
The return to slick tyres, a move to run a single tyre supplier and a new split rear wing to improve overtaking were also passed for a provisional introduction in 2007 pending the input of the teams' Technical Directors.
It is understood that the qualifying format was voted in unanimously by the Commission while the return to tyre changes received some opposition but was carried through in the meeting.
The banning of spare cars for 2006 and the end to third cars running in Friday practice sessions, was not accepted, however, due to opposition from many of the smaller teams who benefit from that ruling.
The knockout format for qualifying will see five cars drop out after 15 minutes then another five out after a second 15-minute session before the remaining cars battle for the top grid spots in a final 20 minutes. To retain the successful element that has mixed up grids this season the final ten cars will have to qualify carrying the amount of fuel with which they will start the race, bringing race strategy into the grid-deciding runs.
The proposed new rear wing is the result of a long investigation by the FIA into the problems of overtaking, which have apparently increased this season, and was only unveiled just hours ahead of the afternoon meeting.
This new research is important for the future of Formula One," said Mosley. "By introducing the (new) wing we can give motor sport fans exactly what they have asked for, wheel-to-wheel racing with much more overtaking. It is our hope that the teams will collaborate with us in the optimisation of this radical new idea so that the aerodynamic benefits can be introduced into Formula One in 2007 rather than having to wait until 2008."
