Following a meeting of its World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) in the Spanish city of Barcelona on Friday, the FIA has released details of the regulation changes which could come into force for the 2013 season. The sport's governing body, however, also revealed that a vote could be taken to change the timing of the rules' introduction. One of the major revisions approved by the WMSC is the establishment of a new engine formula, which will see the current 2.4 litre V8s replaced with 1.6 litre four-cylinder units, with high pressure gasoline injection up to 500 bar and extensive energy management and energy recovery systems. Rev limits on the new engines will be reduced from the current 18,000 rpm to a maximum of 12,000.
