Honda bemoan FIA 'curve ball'
Governing body in late rules switch

(GMM) BAR-Honda has bemoaned the governing body's 'late' call on new regulations for next year.

The Honda owned team's chief designer Kevin Taylor admitted that the design of the 2006 car 'hasn't been helped' by the belated overhaul of qualifying, and the resurrection of tyre changing.

He called the rules 'some late curve balls'.

BAR, concerned about tyre wear with the current '007' car, worked particularly to make the 2006 contender more suited to the 'one tyre' rule.

''And then the rules change,'' Taylor griped, ''and now ... (the rules are) back closer to where we were in 2004 when we were very competitive.''

He hinted that the 2006 car design might, therefore, be subject to some late revisions.
