Federal Bailouts and Double Standards
Produced by:
A bailout of the Big Three automakers now seems likely, but why is Detroit being asked for more concessions than Wall Street? We look at the double standard for federal bailouts and ask whether a real industrial policy would make things better or worse. Also, Pakistan has moved against the mastermind of the group that attacked Mumbai, and more trouble for newspapers as the Tribune syndicate declares bankruptcy and the New York Times considers mortgaging its office building.

Making News
Pakistan Moves against Mumbai Attacker Group ()
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11, reportedly wants to plead guilty. A hearing's being held at Guantánamo Bay. Meantime, it's reported that Pakistan has arrested the mastermind of the recent attacks on Mumbai. Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid is author, most recently, of Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Main Topic
Bailouts, Perferences and Industrial Policy ()
The White House says if Democrats can get their act together it's "very likely" the Big Three automakers will get massive federal assistance. But auto workers are on a caravan from the Midwest to Washington, complaining they have to make more concessions than Wall Street financiers. The Bank of America, which got $25 billion in taxpayer bailout funds, cut off credit to their employer; the auto workers got three days notice of termination, when federal law requires 60 days. They've become a symbol of the complaint that the bailout process favors the white-collar financial sector at the expense of blue-collar workers. Is Wall Street more important than other sectors of the economy? Does the US need a policy for manufacturing, too, like Barack Obama's jobs-creating stimulus plan?

Tribune Declares Bankruptcy; NY Times Borrows against Its Building ()
The Tribune Company, with major newspapers in Chicago and Los Angeles, has filed for bankruptcy, and the New York Times may have to mortgage its property in New York City. Both actions belie the struggles of an increasingly troubled industry. A 20-year veteran of the defunct Knight-Ridder Newspapers, Ken Doctor is an analyst for Outsell and Content Bridges, which focus on the transformation of the news media from print to digital.

Wildflowers in Colorado
by J.E. Klett, R.A. Cox, I. Shonle and L.G. Vickerman1 (2/04)Quick Facts...
- Wildflower plantings have a different appearance throughout the growing season.
- Commercial seed mixes are developed to show variation in height, bloom color and time.
- Choose a wildflower seed mix adapted to your site conditions.
- The best site for wildflowers has well-drained and aerated soil.
- Control weeds prior to seeding wildflowers.
- Water as needed for germination and maintenance.
- The term wildflower does not necessarily mean a native flower.
Wildflowers are ideal for a more natural, less formal appearance. A planting
of wildflowers provides a changing pallet of color. You may choose to
model wildflower plantings after surrounding native-plant communities
or use wildflowers to provide bold splashes of color.
The term wildflower does not necessarily mean that such plants are native
to our area. Rather, it refers to an overall look or feel of an informal
planting. Many plants in wildflower seed mixes are not native to Colorado,
although native mixes are available.
A wildflower planting provides change throughout the growing season as
different plants in the mix come into bloom. Due to varying characteristics
of plants in a wildflower mix, the appearance of the planting may differ
from year to year as some species thrive and dominate less aggressive
Because some wildflowers can be aggressive, you may lose the diversity
of a wildflower planting over time. Their aggressiveness can be compounded
by site conditions. Some species invade areas where they are not wanted.
See Table 4.
The type of wildflower seed mix you choose depends on site conditions and the effect you want to create. Commercial seed mixes may be formulated using a variety of flowers with different heights, colors and bloom times. Usually, a mix of self-seeding annuals, biennials and perennials is most effective. Wildflower mixes also may contain some grass species, which can fill in spaces around flowers, add texture and color contrast, and provide support and protection to wildflowers. Grasses also can reduce soil erosion and enhance wildlife habitat. See Table 1. On steep slopes, existing or seeded grasses can reduce soil erosion until wildflowers become established. Use jute mats or weed-free straw mulches on the soil surface to help establish wildflowers on steep slopes. Large areas can be hydroseeded.
Site Preparation and Weed Control
Choose a mix suitable for specific site conditions, such as dry, hot,
south exposures; cooler, shaded, north and east exposures; or moist meadows.
Varying site conditions require different plant species. Seed companies
often formulate their mixes for different site conditions. Most wildflowers
grow best on well-drained, well-aerated soils. Others are adapted to moist
sites. On sites with poor or compacted soil or extensive weed populations,
considerable soil preparation and weed control are necessary before planting.
If weeds predominate on the site or if the soil has been disturbed by
rototilling or construction activity, it may take up to a year to control
weeds before you can plant wildflowers. Eliminating weeds prior to planting
wildflowers is easier and less expensive than identifying and controlling
them in newly seeded sites. Water to stimulate weed-seed germination and
growth. Then spray or pull the resulting weeds. Repeat this process several
times if possible.
One method of sowing wildflower seeds with minimal soil preparation is
to lightly cultivate or break the soil with a rake prior to sowing. If
the soil is compacted or heavy clay, you may need soil improvements. Incorporate
organic matter, such as compost or sphagnum peat moss, into the top 6
inches. Three cubic yards of organic matter per 1,000 square feet, or
about enough to cover soil 1 inch deep, generally is sufficient. Tilling
the soil will increase weed seed germination, as new seeds are brought
to the surface.
After incorporating organic matter, water the area to germinate any existing
weed seeds. Spray these weed seedlings with glyphosate (Roundup), glufosinate
(Finale) or another appropriate herbicide. As with any pesticide, read
and follow label directions. Remove dead weed debris prior to planting
wildflowers. The number of times you need to repeat this water/spray process
depends on the degree of weed infestation and types of weeds prevalent.
On sites where other desirable vegetation exists, cultivate the soil lightly or break it with a rake, then sow wildflower seeds in the manner described below. A cool moist treatment can greatly enhance the germination of perennials. If sowing in spring or summer you may want to check with the seed company if they have pre-treated the perennial seeds.
Fall is a good time to sow wildflower seed because subsequent winter
cold and snow (moisture) will promote seed germination the following spring.
You may need to water in the spring to germinate seeds if winter moisture
is insufficient. For spring or summer seedings, water to germinate seeds
if rains are insufficient. Seedlings emerging in late summer may not become
well established and may be killed by fall frosts.
Depending on the mix or species selected, sow 4 to 8 ounces of seed per
1,000 square feet or follow recommendations on seed packet. Exceeding
recommended seeding rates may result in poor stands, especially of perennials
shaded out by too-dense annuals.
For an even distribution of wildflower seed, mix six parts dry sand with one part seed. For small areas, spread the mix by hand. On larger areas, use a cyclone-type fertilizer/seed spreader. For small areas, light raking followed by tamping the soil with your feet can help ensure good seed contact with soil. For large areas, its faster to pull a section of chain-link fence behind a tractor. To ensure good germination use a lawn roller or in small areas tramp soil surface with your feet.
- After wildflowers are established, pull or spot spray weeds as soon as they can be identified and before they set seed.
- During extended dry spells, supplemental water helps wildflowers look their best.
- If initial soil preparation was done, little if any fertilizer is required.
- After plants brown from killing frost, mow wildflower areas to distribute seeds set by plants. Cut stalks to 4 to 6 inches and leave clippings on the ground.
- In the second and succeeding years, the appearance of the wildflower planting may differ due to bloom of biennial and perennial species. Additional seeding can be beneficial if your wildflower stand is not satisfactory or plant growth was spotty or poor.
- Some species of wildflowers are toxic to grazing livestock (e.g., lupines and larkspurs).
- Observe which wildflowers escape from your landscape to rangeland, open space, wetlands or other natural areas. Remove escaped plants and replace them with less aggressive species.

This was announced with great élan and machismo in a public meeting recently -- The ministry of environment and forests will take charge of the controversial pollution inventory study that is being carried out in five cities and billed to four oil companies. The top brass in the ministry are still not willing to confirm this as their final decision. More meetings are planned to help them make up their mind.
Kill. The ultimate scalpel operation as the final sign of life ebbs away. Let it die, rather than drag a colossal waste. We were probably expecting this to happen. Not just to this state-owned bus transit undertaking in India's largest state -- Madhya Pradesh -- but to numerous other undertakings that have state governments as their bosses. Bankruptcy at monthly losses totaling Rs 50 million, indignity of unpaid salaries for 11,500 staff members that run only 1500 buses forced this euthanasia in Madhya Pradesh.
We had no clue this was happening in India. We were suspicious ever since we read the illuminating study on the deadly octane enhancer, MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). Scary. Manganese particles from MMT burning as a petrol additive, is a potent neurotoxin that damages the brain when inhaled. Manganese deposit fouls up vehicle components and emission control systems. As an octane booster, MMT is expected to save fuel. But in reality, as evidence shows, it barely makes any difference.
We welcome the swift intervention of the Union Petroleum Minister, Mani Shankar Aiyar, to ascertain the status of the use of the MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl), a manganese-based octane enhancer in petrol. This has elicited voluntary admission from the national oil companies that they will not blend MMT in petrol "any more". For the first time, Indian oil companies have volunteered to discontinue the use of a harmful substance in the face of strong public concern.
Sometimes beginning late can be an opportunity – more advantageous then even the beginners' advantage. If a city has done nothing so far to clean up, and begins now, it is easier to steer clear of the gaffes and the clangers of the early birds. Avoid the sheer burden of false moves of the past. Begin right. Lahore, one of the most happening metros in Pakistan, is poised to do just that.
The farmers of Singur in West Bengal are desperate to save their land from transforming into an assembly line for cars of Tata Motors priced at one lakh rupees (US$2222). While the state's left front government is eager to oblige with cheap land deal, the Union government is ready with more tax cuts to shorten the fuse and set off explosion in car sales. In promising unconditional support our regulators forgot to ask about the product itself, -- an unusually cheap micro car – whose impact will reverberate much beyond Singur.
Way back in 2007 we had said Delhi would wake up that winter to more smog and pollution; more wheeze and asthma. Air pollution was on its way back up. Every winter would turn back the pollution clock. At stake was our health. Newly released official air quality data now reconfirms our worst fears. It is not only Delhi, but other cities as well – Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Kanpur, are climbing the smoggy spikes after a little respite.

2014 Formula One season
FIA Formula One World Championship season
Previous: | 2013 | Next: | 2015 |
The 2014 Formula One season will be the 65th season of the Formula One World Championship, a motor racing championship for Formula One cars which is recognised by the sport's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The season will start in Australia on 16 March and conclude in Abu Dhabi on 23 November. Eleven teams and twenty-two drivers will compete in nineteen Grands Prix for the World Drivers' and World Constructors' Championships.
In 2014, the championship will see the introduction of a revised engine formula, in which the 2.4 litre V8 engine configuration—previously used between 2006 and 2013—will be replaced with a new formula specifying a 1.6 litre turbocharged V6 engine that incorporates an energy recovery system into its build.[1] The 2014 calendar will feature substantial revisions from the 2013 season. The Russian Grand Prix will be held for the first time in a century at the Sochi International Street Circuit in Sochi,[2] and the Austrian Grand Prix will be revived, with the race to be held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.[3] The Indian Grand Prix will be discontinued for an indeterminate period while a tax dispute with Indian authorities is resolved,[4] whilst the Korean Grand Prix has been removed from the schedule entirely.[5]
Sebastian Vettel will start the season as the defending Drivers' Champion after securing his fourth consecutive title at the 2013 Indian Grand Prix. His team, Red Bull Racing, will start the season as the defending Constructors' Champions, having also won their fourth consecutive championship in India.[6]
Signed teams and drivers[edit]
The following teams and drivers are scheduled to take part in the 2014 season.
Team changes[edit]
- Cosworth elected not to build an engine to fit the 2014 generation of regulations.[52] This decision prompted Marussia, the only team using Cosworth engines during the 2013 season, to seek out a new engine supplier.[53] They later joined Ferrari's customer programme with Ferrari providing the team with both engine and powertrain for 2014 and beyond.[24]
- Scuderia Toro Rosso secured an agreement with Renault for engines in 2014, ending their seven-year arrangement with Ferrari.[36]
- Williams parted ways with Renault after two seasons, switching to Mercedes power in what the team described as a "long-term deal".[47] The deal came after Renault publicised their intentions to reduce their engine supply to three teams in 2014,[54] before the French manufacturer ultimately settled on supplying four.[21]
- In 2011, former British American Racing team principal Craig Pollock announced the formation of Propulsion Universelle et Recuperation d'Energie–commonly known by its acronym, PURE–and signalled his intentions to enter the sport in 2014 as a customer engine supplier, with the full support of the FIA.[55] However, the engine programme was eventually suspended in July 2012 due to problems regarding funding,[56] and was ultimately unable to secure any clients for the 2014 season.[21]
Driver changes[edit]
- Felipe Massa left Ferrari at the end of the 2013 season after eight years racing for the team.[57] He moved to Williams, alongside Valtteri Bottas.[48] Pastor Maldonado, having been replaced at Williams by Massa, will move to Lotus F1, taking the seat vacated by 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen.[22] Räikkönen returned to Ferrari, the team he raced for from 2007 to 2009.[13] The partnership of Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso marks the first time since 1954 that Ferrari have contested a season with two World Drivers' Champions in the team.
- Mark Webber retired from Formula One after twelve seasons, the last seven with Red Bull Racing. He moved to the FIA World Endurance Championship, driving for Porsche AG in their brand-new Le Mans Prototype, the Porsche 919 Hybrid.[58] Daniel Ricciardo left Scuderia Toro Rosso to fill his seat,[38] becoming the second driver to graduate from the team's young driver programme to their premier racing team.[59] Scuderia Toro Rosso chose 2013 GP3 Series champion Daniil Kvyat as Ricciardo's replacement.[60]
- Sergio Pérez left McLaren after a single season with the team.[61] He was replaced by 2013 Formula Renault 3.5 Series champion and McLaren Young Driver Programme member Kevin Magnussen.[30] Pérez moved to Force India,[18] where he was joined by Nico Hülkenberg, who returned to the team after one year with Sauber.[19] As a result of the Hülkenberg and Pérez deals, Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil lost their seats with the team. Sutil went on to secure a seat with Sauber,[42] while di Resta left Formula One entirely, returning to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series.[62]
- Kamui Kobayashi returned to Formula One with Caterham, after spending the 2013 season competing in the World Endurance Championship.[10] He was partnered with GP2 Series regular Marcus Ericsson, who became the first Swedish driver in Formula One since Stefan Johansson retired from the sport in 1991.[10] The decision left both Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic without a drive, and both went on to take reserve driver roles with other teams; van der Garde joined Sauber,[63] while Pic moved to Lotus.[64]
- Susie Wolff joined Williams as a test and reserve driver, with a programme that will include participation in selected Free Practice 1 sessions. In doing so, she will become the first female driver to take part in a Grand Prix weekend since Giovanna Amati failed to qualify for the 1992 Brazilian Grand Prix.[65]

Calendar changes[edit]
- Red Bull reached an agreement with Bernie Ecclestone to revive the Austrian Grand Prix after a ten-year absence from the calendar. The race will be held at the Red Bull Ring,[67][70] which previously hosted the Austrian Grand Prix in 2003, when the circuit was known as the A1-Ring.
- The Bahrain Grand Prix will be held as a night event under lights, similar to the Singapore Grand Prix.[71] The decision to hold the race under lights was taken as a means of marking the tenth anniversary of the event.[72]
- In March 2014, Bernie Ecclestone revealed that he had come to an agreement to return the French Grand Prix to the calendar after a six-year absence, with the Circuit de Nevers in Magny-Cours the intended venue, but the deal collapsed shortly after it had been reached.[73]
- The Hockenheimring is scheduled to return to the calendar to host the German Grand Prix, in keeping with the event-sharing agreement first established in 2008 with the Nürburgring for the two circuits to host the Grand Prix in alternating years. The Hockenheimring last hosted a Formula One Grand Prix in 2012.[74]
- The Indian Grand Prix will not be held in 2014 following the devaluation of the Indian rupee and ongoing complications arising from Indian taxation laws,[73] which had dogged the event since its inaugural race, with authorities classifying the Grand Prix as "entertainment", which under Indian law would have entitled the authorities to claim a portion of the teams' revenue as tax for competing in India, something they would have been unable to do if the race had been classified as a "sport".[75] The race promoters initially came to an agreement with Bernie Ecclestone to skip the 2014 event and return to the calendar early in 2015;[76] however, in March 2014, Ecclestone stated that the race will likely be pushed back to 2016 while the sport tries to resolve the taxation issue.[4]
- The Korean Grand Prix, Mexican Grand Prix, and the Grand Prix of America were included in the provisional calendar published in September 2013, but were later removed from the final calendar released in December.[5][77]
- The calendar will see the addition of the Russian Grand Prix with the race to be held at the Sochi International Street Circuit at the end of the season.[78][79] The race will take place on a street circuit to be constructed around the Sochi Olympic Park. It will be the first Russian Grand Prix in a century, and the first time the country has ever hosted a round of the Formula One World Championship.[2] The International Olympic Committee had cautioned that it would use its power to delay the race until 2015 if it felt that construction of the circuit and facilities were disrupting preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games,[80] but the Olympic venues were completed and competition started without interruption.
- The United States Grand Prix had been provisionally scheduled for 8 November. However, the date coincided with a University of Texas American football team home game, which would have strained Austin's tourism infrastructure. The final calendar rescheduled the race for 2 November to eliminate this conflict.[81]
Regulation changes[edit]
Technical regulations[edit]
- The 2014 season will see the introduction of a new engine formula, with turbocharged engines returning to the sport for the first time since 1988. The new engines will be a 1.6 litre V6 format with an 8-speed semi automatic gearbox.[1] The rules dictate the use of a ninety-degree engine bank, with fixed crankshaft and mounting points for the chassis, while the engines will be limited to 15,000rpm. Individual engine units under the 2014 specifications must last for at least 4,000 km (2,500 mi) before being replaced, in comparison to the pre-2014 engines, which were required to last for just 2,000 km (1,200 mi).[83]
- The Kinetic Energy Recovery System—known from 2009 to 2013 as KERS, and renamed from 2014 as ERS-K[84]—will be incorporated into the design of the engine and its usage increased; its function as a supplementary power source will be taken by the introduction of the heat-based Energy Recovery System (ERS).[85][86] The ERS unit captures waste heat as it is dispelled from the exhaust turbocharger, using an electrical device known as a Heat Motor Generator Unit. This waste heat is stored as an electrical charge until it is used by a complementary system called the Kinetic Motor Generator Unit. This device is connected directly to the drive train to deliver the additional power in the most direct and efficient way.[86][87] In combination with the ERS-K it will give drivers an additional 161 bhp (120 kW) for thirty-three seconds per lap, compared to the KERS units used prior to 2014, which gave drivers 80 bhp (60 kW) for six seconds per lap.[83]
- Teams will be permitted to use electronic braking devices to manage the braking of the rear wheels as the increased power output from the ERS-K units will make regulating the brake bias much harder than it had been previously.[84]
- Teams may no longer change their gear ratios from race to race to suit the individual demands of a circuit. Instead, they must nominate eight gear ratios ahead of the first race of the season, and these eight ratios will be used at every Grand Prix. They will be given one opportunity to change their ratios once the season has started, but any subsequent changes will incur a grid penalty.[88]
- The 2014 regulations require the use of lower noses than in previous years, in the interests of safety. The tip of the nose will have to be no more than 185mm above the ground,[89] in comparison to the 550mm allowed in 2012.[90] These regulations were amended in June 2013 so as to completely outlaw the use of the "stepped noses" used in 2012 and 2013, thereby forcing teams to design a car with a genuinely lower nose rather than using the temporary solution.[91]
- The original rules—first published in August 2011—also called for a variety of bodywork changes aimed at cutting downforce, most notably through the use of narrower front wings, and a shallower angle to the main plane of rear wings. These additional changes were formally abandoned in December 2012,[92] but the requirement that cars be built with a nose no more than 185mm above the ground was retained.[93] The planned reduction in front wing width from 1,800mm to 1,650mm was subsequently reintroduced.[94]
- Teams will no longer be able to use a beam wing at the rear of the car, a small carbon fibre wing mounted above the diffuser designed to generate low pressure as air passed over it, allowing teams greater control over the air that was being deliberately directed over the diffuser.[95]
- In order to promote fuel efficiency, fuel will be flow restricted to 100 kg/h above 10,500rpm;[86] below 10,500rpm a formula for the maximum flow must be applied based on the rpm in use.[96]
- Drivers must be able to return to the pits under their own power after the chequered flag has fallen in a bid to stop drivers from pulling over in order to preserve the mandatory one-litre fuel sample required to pass post-race scrutineering.[97]
- The position of the exhaust outlet will change so that it is now angled upwards toward the rear wing instead of downwards to face the rear diffuser so as to make the practice of using exhaust blown diffusers—passing exhaust gasses over the rear diffuser to improve the car's downforce—extremely difficult to achieve.[83]
- The minimum weight of the cars will increase from 642 kg (1,415 lb) to 691 kg (1,523 lb) to account for the increased weight of the engine, energy recovery units, and 2014 specification of tyres.[97]
- The use of false camera mountings will be banned. Teams had previously exploited a loophole in the regulations that allowed them to add additional pieces of bodywork to the car in the place of camera mountings and take advantage of the aerodynamic benefits. From 2014, this loophole will be closed, with the regulations rewritten to only allow camera mountings to be used for cameras.[84]
Sporting regulations[edit]
- Mid-season testing will return in 2014. Three European venues will each host a two-day test in the week following the Grand Prix held at the circuit with one test being held in the week after the final round in Abu Dhabi.[98][99] In addition to this, teams must dedicate one of these days to aiding tyre supplier Pirelli in the development of their tyres.[100] These rules were later adjusted to allow teams to choose which venues they tested at during the season. Cars will also be classified as "current", "previous" and "historic", with the FIA introducing limits on which cars may be used and the conditions under which they are tested.[101] The end-of-season Young Driver Tests, which were held to give teams the opportunity to assess rookie drivers, will be discontinued.
- The penalty system will be overhauled in 2014 so as to improve driving standards, with the introduction of a "penalty points" system for driving offences.[102] Under the system, driving offences will carry a pre-determined points value based on their severity. These points will be tallied up over the course of a season, with a driver receiving a race ban after accumulating twelve penalty points.[103] Any driver who received a race ban would also receive an additional five penalty points upon their return, as a form of probation to discourage further driving offences. Penalty points will remain on a driver's licence for twelve months, at which point they will be removed.[101]
- Stewards will have the power to hand out five-second penalties in addition to the existing range of penalties within their power. The five-second penalties were introduced for situations where a penalty was justified, but the existing penalties—such as a drive-through or a stop/go penalty—were considered too severe, or where such a penalty would radically alter the outcome of a race if applied retroactively, with penalised drivers facing the loss of championship points for otherwise minor violations of the rules.[101] Drivers will be permitted to serve these penalties before a regular pit stop, with the driver stopping in their pit bay for five seconds before any work is carried out on the car.[97] Drivers serving drive-through or stop/go penalties will not be permitted to serve a penalty ahead of their pit stop, and will instead be required to enter the pit lane separately to serve the penalty.
- The rules regarding unsafe pit releases—when a car is released from its pit bay to the lane directly into the path of an oncoming car—will be rewritten, with the driver who is released in an unsafe fashion given a grid penalty for the next race.[101]
- The pit lane speed limit will be reduced from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).[104]
- Drivers will only be able to use five engines over the course of a season in 2014, down from eight in 2013. Drivers who use a sixth engine will start the race from the pit lane, as opposed to the ten-place grid penalty handed down for going over the engine quota in previous season.[104] The engine unit will be further divided up into individual elements, including the turbocharger, ERS unit and KERS battery, with drivers allocated five of each component. Should a driver go over this quota for any individual element, they will incur a ten-place grid penalty.[105] They will receive a further five-place penalty for going over the five-unit allocation of any other element after the original ten-place penalty is applied in a bid to stop teams changing multiple elements of the engine unit after receiving a grid penalty.[101]
- In the event that such a penalty relegates a driver past the back row of the grid, the remaining penalty will carry over to the next race. For example, if a driver qualifies in nineteenth position and receives a five-place grid penalty, they will drop to twenty-second and last place for that race, and then receive an additional two-place penalty in the next Grand Prix. These penalties can only be carried over to the next race, rather than accumulate.[105]
- The procedure for issuing penalties for speeding under yellow flag conditions in qualifying will change in 2014. Previously, drivers had been forced to slow down in the timing sector of the circuit where a yellow flag was being waved. However, after a series of penalties were issued to drivers for speeding in a sector with yellow flags when the incident that triggered the yellow flag took place behind them, the FIA introduced a change to the procedure. Starting in 2014, the circuit will be divided into two hundred metre intervals. In the event of a yellow flag, drivers must demonstrate that they slowed down in the two hundred metres immediately before and after the yellow flags while they are being displayed, or else face a penalty.[citation needed]
- Following a series of high-profile incidents involving tyres throughout the 2013 season that culminated in a string of explosive blow-outs at the 2013 British Grand Prix, the FIA passed a resolution granting them the power to change the specifications of the tyres used by competitors with immediate effect should the need arise.[84]
- Drivers will be assigned permanent numbers for the duration of their careers, with the championship adopting a system similar to the one used in MotoGP. The number 1 will be the champion's right, with drivers free to choose any number from 2 to 99; the champion's "regular" number will be reserved while they are using the number 1. The regulations further stipulate that a driver's number must be clearly visible, both on their car and on their helmet.[101] Previously, the numbering system had been based on the World Constructors' Championship finishing positions from the previous year.
- Drivers who do not take part in a qualifying period will be assigned grid positions based on the qualifying bracket they were in at the time and their Free Practice 3 lap times.[101] For example, if two drivers qualify for but do not take part in Q3, they will start the race from ninth and tenth places, with the positions they take decided by their FP3 times. The rule was rewritten as grid positions for drivers who had not set lap times or left the pits had previously been decided by car numbers.
- The FIA will introduce the "Pole Trophy", a non-championship award presented to the driver who qualifies on pole for the most races.[101]
- The qualifying format will be adjusted to allow drivers more time to complete flying laps in Q3. The final qualifying period will be extended to twelve minutes in length, with Q1 scaled back to eighteen minutes to keep the entire session within one hour.[106]
- The 107% rule will be relaxed at the start of the season to account for teams dealing with the challenges arising from the new engine regulations. FIA Race Director Charlie Whiting was quoted as saying that the enforcement of the rule would be taken on a case-by-case basis, but that the stewards would consider a driver able to qualify provided they set consistent lap times in Free Practice.[107]
- The FIA introduced a curfew system in 2011 that prohibited team personnel from accessing the circuit in the six hours before the first session of the day, with teams given four "jokers"—exceptions to the rule that allowed them to stay within the circuit boundaries past the curfew hours without penalty so as to complete work on cars—to use throughout the season. The rule has been revised for 2014, with teams given six exceptions over the course of the year as a response to the introduction of the new engine formula.[97]
- Teams will now be allowed to run up to four drivers during both Friday (Thursday in Monaco) practice sessions, though they will still be limited to entering two cars during the sessions. If one of the team's nominated drivers is unable to take part, any replacement driver must use the engine, gearbox and tyres which were allocated to the original driver.[108][109]
- The final race of the season will offer double points to teams and drivers in a bid to keep the championship fight alive for longer.[110]
Results and standings[edit]

FIA Pole Trophy[edit]
The FIA Pole Trophy will be awarded to the driver who qualified on pole position most often throughout the season. In the event of a tie-breaker, with two drivers qualifying on pole an equal number of times, the number of times they qualified in second will be used to settle the result. No additional championship points are awarded for starting a race from pole.

The Red Sox fell to the Royals 10-9 in twelve innings Saturday night despite picking up 20 hits in the process.
Aaron Cook found himself in very early trouble against the Royals lineup. Surrendering hits to the first four batters he faced, the Red Sox quickly found themselves in a 3-0 hole in the first before he finally got three outs on two ground balls to end it.
The Sox were not to be held down for long at all. Mauro Gomez got the Sox on the board in the second inning with a one-out homer, and after Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ryan Lavarnway followed him up with singles, Mike Aviles was there to drop a ball into the Monster seats for a three-run shot that earned the Sox the lead.
The lead would just grow for Boston in the next two innings. As Aaron Cook settled down to earn a quality start, the Sox grabbed three in the third with Mauro Gomez accounting for two more of them, and then another pair in the fourth on singles from Cody Ross and none other than Gomez again.
Unfortunately, even a 9-3 lead was not safe from the bullpen tonight. With Cook on short rest, exiting after a short 72 pitches, the Sox turned to Andrew Miller, who completely imploded with two outs. The Royals loaded the bases against the lefty, then pushed two across before Mark Melancon surrendered two more on another pair of hits. Craig Breslow gave up a triple on a bit of bad defense from Cody Ross, and just like that, the game was tied.
The tie game would last long enough to take the Sox into extra innings, and into the bottom of the tenth with a chance to win it. There, Pedro Ciriaco would lead off with a single, move to second on a passed ball, and then to third on a successful sacrifice bunt from Scott Podsednik. The Dodgers elected to pitch to Jacoby Ellsbury instead of Dustin Pedroia with one out and the winning run at third. It proved the right move, as Ellsbury grounded to first, where Eric Hosmer made the throw home to catch Ciriaco. That left Che-Hsuan Lin Boston's last chance in the inning.
It would also end up being Boston's last significant chance in the game. While Junichi Tazawa was able to last through the eleventh and two outs in the twelfth despite having 60 pitches and a trip to and from Pawtucket under his belt since Wednesday night, he could not quite get that third out. A walk, a double, and a single-all with two outs-was enough to get Kansas City that tenth run, and with the Sox not scoring in the bottom of the twelfth-the win.
