With the agreement of the competing teams and the Formula 1 Commission, the FIA World Motor Sport Council has changed Formula One qualifying, starting with the European Grand Prix this coming weekend.  The new qualifying procedure will be:

- one qualifying session only from 13.00 to 14.00 on Saturday;

- single lap qualifying with race fuel under parc fermé conditions (as 2004);

- running order to be reverse of finishing order of previous race (ie winner of last race goes last).
