Formula One to reintroduce refuelling in 2017
A McLaren driver
Paris - Arab Today
Formula One's governing world body the FIA has voted to reintroduce refuelling from the 2017 season, it said on Friday.
In a number of measures aimed at improving the much-criticised F1 show, the FIA will also aim to make cars appear more aggressive while going faster.
Teams will firstly be allowed a free choice of two dry compound tyres from next season, before a raft of introductions for 2017.
Aerodynamic evolution, wider tyres and a reduction in car weight will be introduced in an effort to reduce lap times by 5-6 seconds.
Refuelling will be allowed while higher-revving engines aimed at producing more noise will be introduced.
The FIA also wants chassis to be redesigned to look more aggressive.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
