Almost everybody in Formula One is against the rule changes for next season. Especially the grooved tyres, three grooves, instead of the slicks which are currently in use.

Goodyear was against them from the start and Villeneuve and Williams test driver Boullion after they had tested them: The car tends to slide a lot in the corners. Bridgestone announced last week that they were also against the new tyres.

Alain Prost and his team Prost-Mugen will move from Magny-Cours to Saint Cyr, near Paris (France). Prost however really wants to move to England, but this will surely give a problem which the funds they are receiving from the French government and their French sponsors.
