FORMULA One leaders Red Bull may not be so dominant in Spain this weekend after the FIA clamped down on the use of engine management systems to gain an aerodynamic advantage.
Some leading teams have gained performance by keeping exhaust gases flowing constantly through the rear diffuser even when drivers are not on the throttle.
"The FIA clarified some rules on engine management systems which I think are going to affect all the teams," Mercedes GP team principal Ross Brawn said. "These sort of staccato exhausts that you hear, I don't think you will be hearing any more," the Briton said. "The teams have all been developing their engine management systems to take the maximum advantage from the exhausts and the FIA wants to push us in a different direction now so there will be changes there."
