The pit lane speed limit during races will remain 100km/h after motorsport's governing body rejected a proposal to reduce it.
Teams were hoping the FIA would drop it to 60 km/h (37mph) after a mechanic was killed at Zolder in Belgium in 2011 when the car he was working on suffered a brake failure as it was approaching the pit.
However, BBC Sport claims that 'the FIA felt that incident was caused by a mechanical failure rather than excessive speed' and will not make any changes.'
'Race director Charlie Whiting has told them (teams) he feels there is no need to make the change as there is no evidence that the current arrangement is unsafe,' according the report.
'Their view is that there have been no pit-lane accidents in F1 that have been caused by excessive speed since the current limits were introduced.
'A number of measures are already taken to increase safety in the pits during qualifying and the race.'
