Couple of updates from the strategy group meeting:

- Halo delayed to 2018 (good. I know it is safer but holy jesus it is ugly)

- Standing starts in wet conditions - they will still do the warm up behind safety car like they did at Silverstone and Monaco but now they will do a standing start from the grid when the track is determined dry enough

- Radio rules loosened

Quote:
With the exception of the period between the start of the formation lap and the start of the race, there will be no limitations on messages teams send to their drivers either by radio or pit board.

"This approach is aimed at providing improved content for fans and spectators, as teams will now be required to provide the Commercial Rights Holder with unrestricted access to their radio messages at all times that their cars are out of the garage."
- Track limits may no longer be enforced as it seemed to be quite arbitrary. (this still hasn't been decided it looks like)

- Button is yet another driver to come out condemning Max's double move.
