The FIA has released further details of its plans to restrict pit-to-driver communication, which will come into effect at the opening race of the 2016 season.

It comes as part of a clampdown on Article 20.1 of the Sporting Regulations which states that “the driver shall drive the car alone and unaided”.

A list of 31 permitted messages has been released, with anything else considered a breach of the regulations:

– Helping with warning of traffic during a practice session or race 
– Giving the gaps between cars in qualifying so as to better position the car
– Tyre choice at the next pit stop 
– Number of laps a competitor has done on a set of tyres during a race 
– Tyre specification of a competitor 
– Information concerning a competitor’s likely race strategy 
– Safety Car window 
– Driving breaches by driver or competitor, e.g. missing chicanes, track limits, penalty etc
– Notification that DRS is enabled or disabled 
– Dealing with a DRS system failure 
– Change of front wing position at the next pit stop 
– Oil transfer 
– When to enter the pits 
– Reminders to check for white lines, bollards, weighbridge lights when entering or leaving the pits
