The FIAs World Motor Sport Council has ratified a series of rule changes for the 2017 season, including new rules around wet weather starts and the stockpiling of engine components.The changes are designed to tidy up existing rules and close loopholes in the regulations that have become clear this season.Engine stockpiling clampdownThe changes to prevent stockpiling of engine components was proposed after Mercedes decided to amass a 65-place grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix. As a cost saving measure, when a driver uses more than their allocation of engine components for the season they are hit with grid penalties, but the spirit of the regulation is open to abuse. In the knowledge that Lewis Hamilton could start no lower than 22nd on the grid in Belgium, Mercedes fitted three new power units to his car over the weekend in order to concentrate all his penalties on one race while ensuring he had fresh engines for the rest of the season.In reaction to the component stockpiling in Spa, the FIA has made the following change to the regulations: During any single event, if a driver introduces more than one of a power unit element that is subject to penalty, only the last element fitted may be used at subsequent events without further penalty. This is to prevent the stockpiling of spare power unit elements.Wet weather startsFollowing a downpour ahead of the British Grand Prix, the race was started under a safety car leading to a single file procession at the start of the first racing lap. Fans complained that they were robbed of a standing start and as a result the procedure for starting races in wet conditions has been changed.A new procedure regarding wet weather starts was also accepted, an FIA statement explained. From 2017, if a safety car is deemed to be required for the beginning of a race due to wet weather, a normal standing start will occur once the track is deemed safe to race. The process will see the safety car return to the pit lane and the cars assemble on the grid for the start.Uniform early-2017 tyre allocationsA new rule this season has seen teams pick which compound tyres they wish to use at a race weekend. Although the change has been a success, leading to mixed strategies and less predictable racing, it requires tyre choices to be made well in advance. Because next years tyres will not be tested until the two pre-season tests ahead of Australia, teams faced the problem of picking tyres before they had even seen them. As a result the FIA and Pirelli will specify which tyres the teams receive.For the first five events of the 2017 Championship season only, the normal team selection procedure for tyres will not be used as the deadline occurs before pre-season testing. For these events the supplier will allocate two sets of the hardest compound specification, four sets of the medium compound specification and seven sets of the softest compound specification to each driver.The Haas ruleThe FIA has also moved to clarify the rules around teams working together in collaborative agreements, such as the relationship between Haas and Ferrari before the American team joined this season.The World Motor Sport Council confirmed changes to Appendices 6 and 8 of the 2017 F1 Sporting Regulations which clarify outsourcing arrangements and conduct permitted regarding Listed Parts, Non-Listed Parts, wind tunnel testing and personnel transfer between teams engaged in a working or developmental relationship.

More than 200 blood bags were recovered when Fuentes premises were raided in 2006 as part of Operacion Puerto, which has developed into one of the biggest and longest-running doping scandals in sporting history.More than 50 of the bags were found to belong to cyclists, but the sources of the others have never been identified. Fuentes has gone on record as saying tennis players, boxers, athletes and footballers were among his clients, but he has refused to name names.He went on trial and was convicted of breaking public health laws in April 2013, but Judge Julia Patricia Santamaria also controversially ordered that the blood bags be destroyed. Eufemiano Fuentes claimed he treeated tennis players, boxers, athletes and footballers as well as cyclists Multiple sporting and anti-doping organisations appealed against the decision, and a ruling on the appeal had been due to be released at the end of last month.ddddddddddddowever, Fuentes lawyer, Jose Miguel Lledo, told Sky Sports News HQ that the announcement could still be as much as three months away, which will be too late for those seeking to hold the cheats to account.That is because the World Anti-Doping Agencys (Wada) 10-year statute of limitations dictates that no athlete implicated in the scandal can be prosecuted after this June, meaning that while the cheats may still be named, they will never be punished.Wada, the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency and the court hearing the case all also told Sky Sports News HQ that they have no idea when the ruling on the appeal will be announced.
