The Belgian Grand Prix will see a reduction in driver aids, making race starts in particular “more unpredictable” according to the FIA following a meeting of the F1 Strategy Group on Wednesday.
There will also be an extension to radio communication limits put in place last year, outlawing driver coaching.
It’s expected the changes will make race starts a more manual process, therefore creating the opportunity for more mistakes.
Changes will be implemented at round 11 of the championship in Belgium after the summer break after the proposal received unanimous support during a vote.
In a statement, the FIA said the changes would put “the driver in full control of the car, enhancing races excitement and unpredictability.”
Further restrictions will also be put in place for the 2016 season to make driving the cars even harder and drivers less reliant on team radio.
