New for 2012: All cars will have to pass all the mandatory crash tests in order to be able to take part in winter testing.
There will be a three-day test during the season, which is set to allow teams to run with their drivers mid-campaign.
All lapped cars will be allowed to unlap themselves and then join at the back of the field during safety car periods, ensuring a clean restart without slower cars in front of the leaders.
Maximum race time of four hours during each grand prix
Drivers will not be allowed to move back onto the racing line after having moved off it to defend their position.
Cars which were in the pitlane when a race is suspended will now be allowed to rejoin the grid in the position they were in when the race was stopped.
An altered use of tyre allocations, with drivers now allowed to use all tyres from the start of practice. Previously, only three sets were permitted.
Drivers will not be allowed to leave the track - like cutting a chicane on reconnaissance laps or 'in' laps to save time and fuel - without a justifiable reason.
