The FIA is considering introducing a mandatory yellow flag speed limit as a result of Jules Bianchi’s horrific accident during the Japanese Grand Prix.

The sport’s governing body is due to consult with all Formula 1 teams regarding the issue in a meeting to be held at Sochi today.

A full report into Bianchi’s accident has been tabled by the FIA with a change to the yellow flag rules emerging as one area for improvement.

The Marussia driver, who remains in an Intensive Care Unit at Yokkaichi’s Mie General Hospital, crashed into a recovery vehicle under double waved yellow flags during the closing stages in Suzuka.

F1 race director Charlie Whiting confirmed the FIA are seriously considering implementing a rule for next season which would allow car speed to be controlled, rather than leaving it up to the driver, when double waved yellow flags are used.

He admitted one way of achieving this would be to use a delta time system where drivers are given a lap time they have to adhere to, a procedure that is currently in place when the Safety Car is deployed.

“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 during a media briefing at Sochi.

“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 Saturday, 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.”

The briefing also saw the manner in which safety vehicles are used addressed with the FIA stating they will be more cautious in the future.

Meanwhile, drivers have also discussed the possibility of a form of protection to be attached to recovery vehicles in the future.

“All I can say is we will use them with extreme caution,” Whiting added.

“We had nearly an hour with the drivers earlier and one of the things that emerged from that and has been discussed, and can be rediscussed, would be some form of skirt.

“That is something we would need to consider and are going to consider.”
