Bernie's '10 day' test cap - 05 May 2005

F1 should revive the 'Heathrow' idea governing grand prix testing, Bernie Ecclestone claimed.

Weighing in on the controversial debate, the 74-year-old 'chief executive' proposed a 10-day limit on in-season running, with a six hour 'test' session on GP Friday.

Bernie said in London: 'If you want to do more than ten days, then you can't test on Friday.'

A current 'voluntary' 30-day limit is, because of Ferrari's refusal to sign up, reportedly on the verge of collapse.

Bernie said the F1 Commission could vote his proposal through.

six hour test on a GP Frisay not a bad idea but get rid of the one tyre rule first

Nah Ferrari will just pass a rather large roll of EURO'S into Bernies hand and all will be sweet again

I liked the 2003 format. Why they changed it I don't know, maybe the fact it worked and was accepted on the whole had a big say in it
