The FIA have made changes to the controversial radio communications rules in the wake of Nico Rosberg's penalty at the British grand Prix.
Whereas before teams were free to communicate when the car was in the garage, they're now free to discuss whatever they need while the car is in the pit lane.
Previously, teams could only warn drivers of a failure of an imminent or potentially terminal component or system failure, now they can issue an irreversible instruction to enter the pits to either fix the problem or retire the car. In addition, a previous ban on notifying drivers of damage to the car has been amended to cover just bodywork damage.
Teams can now also give instructions to select driver defaults, but this must be for the sole purpose of mitigating loss of function of a sensor, actuator or controller whose degradation or failure was not detected and handled by the onboard software and the team must satisfy the FIA technical delegate that this was the case and that any new setting chosen in this way did not enhance the performance of the car beyond that prior to the loss of function.

This should actually remedy most of the troubles with the new radio rules. Well done, FIA, for once you made a good call.
