LONDON, England - Formula 1's next rules revolution will have to wait until at least 2017 after a meeting in Geneva on Tuesday (Feb 17 2015) voted against significant technical change before then.
No formal statement was issued but sources said the Internationial Automobile Federation's F1 Commission had rejected a proposal to change the regulations to allow cars with wider tyres and different bodywork for the 2016 season.
The 2016 rules can be changed with a majority vote until March 1, after which unanimous approval - a rarity in F1 with teams having so many vested interests - is required.
