Formula 1 teams will come together this weekend to discuss the possible implementation of a specified yellow flag speed limit.

The FIA and race director Charlie Whiting has called for a meeting to discuss the possibility of limiting the speed of cars in the yellow flag zones. The meeting comes as a result of Jules Bianchi’s crash during the Japanese Gp in which he sustained a severe head injury.

“There are some things to learn and we want to engage with all teams and drivers to make sure we come up with good, sound and well thought through ideas,” said Whiting.

“One of the most important things for us to learn here is that it is probably better to take the decision to slow down away from drivers. It is better to try to put in place a system where it is much clearer to everybody how much we think cars should slow down in similar circumstances.”

“That is what we are working on, starting tomorrow morning, with a meeting with all the teams to discuss exactly that.

“We want a way of trying to impose a speed limit – it probably won’t be a speed limit as such, but there will be a way of controlling speed with complete certainty and complete clarity.”

Whiting also confirmed that extreme caution would be exercised in the use of recovery vehicles.
