The FIA will monitor all team radio in real-time in order to enforce the new limits on messages to drivers from this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.
The FIA believes that will give it a very high chance of detecting any illegal messages immediately, which could allow them to be dealt with straight away.

The FIA has produced a clarification setting out which messages will be allowed and which will be banned:

Messages now forbidden
Sector time detail of a competitor and where a competitor is faster or slower.
Adjustment of power unit settings.
Adjustment of power unit setting to de-rate the systems.
Adjustment of gearbox settings.
Balancing the SOC [state-of-charge of batteries] or adjusting for performance.
Information on fuel flow settings (except if requested to do so by race control).
Information on level of fuel saving needed.
Information on differential settings.
Start maps related to clutch position, for race start and pit stops.
Information on clutch maps or settings, e.g. bite point.
Burn-outs prior to race starts.
Information on brake balance or BBW (brake-by-wire) settings.
Selection of driver default settings (other than in the case of a clearly identified problem with the car).
Answering a direct question from a driver, e.g. “Am I using the right torque map”?
Any message that appears to be coded.
Messages forbidden from the Japanese Grand Prix
Learning of gears of the gearbox
Information on tyre pressures or temperatures
Warning on brake wear or temperatures

Messages still allowed
Acknowledgement that a driver message has been heard.
Lap or sector time detail.
Lap time detail of a competitor.
Gaps to a competitor during a practice session or race.
Push hard, “push now”, “you will be racing xx” or similar.
Helping with warning of traffic during a practice session or race.
Giving the gaps between cars in qualifying so as to better position the car for a clear lap.
Puncture warning.
Tyre choice at the next pit stop.
Number of laps a competitor has done on a set of tyres during a race.
Tyre specification of a competitor.
Indication of a potential problem with a competitor’s car during a race.
Information concerning a competitors likely race strategy.
Yellow flags, blue flags, Safety Car deployment or other cautions.

For the most part I do too but all of the twaddle about telemetry directed setting changes is too much. All they've done it to make the driver move a switch that FIA won't let the engineers do remotely.



They already only broadcast a small portion of the radio messages.



The 74 messages broadcast during the Italian Grand Prix was considerably
lower than that seen at many other rounds this year, in some races this year more than 200 messages were heard, of those, 27
(36.5%) would be affected by the new rules.  One team told F1 Fanatic they broadcast almost 300 messages
during that race. That indicates the total messages sent by all the
teams ran to several thousand.

Reading published drivers comments about the radio traffic crack down tells me that the drivers meeting for Singapore will be epic.



Button-"They used to be able to tell us what to do but now it’s back
 in our hands,” the 34-year-old said. "It’s great. Now you’ve got to do your
 homework and prepare for the race. It’s not getting to the race and hoping
 they can tell you what to do.


















Massa- there are so many things in the car
that we are doing that if you don't do them maybe there will be too much
temperature in the rear brakes because the battery gets too high and
then you have a fire in the car.
