Teams told 2010 rules must be agreed unanimously

LONDON: Formula One teams have been told by the sport's governing body that the published 2010 regulations can only be changed if all, including the new entrants, agree.

The autosport.com website reported on Tuesday that International Automobile Federation (FIA) president Max Mosley had written to the teams pointing out the procedures laid down in the rules.

"Article 66 of the international sporting code states that no change can be made to the published regulations without the agreement of all confirmed entrants," Mosley wrote to the three new entrants plus Williams and Force India.
