Teams rule out aero revamp
No changes to make following easier

(GMM) Team chiefs have effectively ruled out a swift 2006 rule change to make it easier for one Formula One car to follow another.

The biggest criticism of this year's slow-down aerodynamic changes is that passing, even on an overtaking-friendly circuit like Hockenheim, is now much more difficult than ever.

''It's quite late to make a big (rule) change,'' said BAR technical director Geoff Willis.

''To suddenly make a change now without finding out what is the right way to go would be wrong.''

Even if his colleagues disagree, the likelihood of a change in time for next year is remote, as it would require an unanimous team vote.
