Following the revelation in the European Grand Prix that cars may now be pushed back onto the track if they spin off during a race, the FIA has been forced to admit that there are many more secret rules which have yet to come to light. 'Yes, we made a lot of rule changes for this season,' admitted one F1 insider. 'But if we tried to explain them all to the teams and drivers it would be rather like trying to teach your family the rules to a new board game at Christmas. Everyone gets a bit bored, no one really understands and by the time you've finished everyone's stuffed full of Terry's Chocolate Orange and sherry and in no mood to play. So, we decided the simplest thing would be to keep the new rules under wraps until such a time as Ferrari needs them.'
There are unconfirmed reports that in light of this news, many F1 teams will now appear at each race with new and previously illegal tactics, hoping to provoke a previously unseen rule change which will allow them to get away with it. 'I don't think that's strictly true,' said one Williams engineer. 'You haven't got any turbos on you, have you?' he added mysteriously.
And for all DC fans
