This in particular is interesting: • Drivers may no longer move back onto the racing line having moved off it to defend a position.
In other words, a "Massa/Hamilton/Schumacher rule"!Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Well it's clarified it in that the "one move" is now moving to defend not the racing line - move - back to racing line, which seemed to be the source of contention and conjectture. It's now in black and white

Didn't we have that thing with the lapped cars being able (or forced?) to unlap themselves under the safety car before? Will they keep change it back and forth every time someone complains about the issue one way or another?
And with that stupid drs all we needed is rules that make passes even easier.

Not really "OLD", it was run as a trial to see whether it could or should be written into the 2012 regulations, as has now happened. In Korea it was merely "adopted as a viewpoint", to quote the Autosport report at the time. Now it's offically confirmed.

Regardless, it still daft. Absolutely daft.
So when is it OK to break the tow? Probably can't do that in 2012?
So you can't retake the racing line even if the car behind isn't close enough to overtake?
Blocking/chopping still controversial even if you time your maneuver right for one move - just look at some of Schumi's antics/aggressive driving in the past. In ALMS for instance, blocking is clamped down on as its defined as reacting to an overtake as defined by Beaux BarfieldThe world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
