On the paper and after we spoke it was for the Argentina GP, then after two days someone modified it. I don’t know who, however someone modified it, it’s not my fault. So yeah, now it seems like it can change for the longer term, I don’t suppose that’s the perfect resolution. Altering that rule will create some issues that for the riders, we’ll take extra threat.
