Ok, text her that she's got a BIG surprise from you when she gets back.

Text her, and when she gets back, present her with a big bunch of
flowers. That's all.
Do the text thing, and she'll be intrigued. Do the flowers thing when
you meet her, and she'll melt, knees first.

So you've asked her for a date. What did she actually say to you?

The F1 track at Jerez is used a lot by the teams for testing... Make sure
you know how to pronounce it correctly when you speak to her :-)

My dad said the same thing. (He follows F1. I used to too - before they
started changing the rules once per season...)
Apparently it isn't proncounced "jerez"...

No, I haven't yet. I'm just trying to find out when she isn't busy. (But
it's now been almost a week since I last communicated with her...)

As far back as I can remember they have always changed part of the rules
every season.
From around 1980 onwards F1 suddenly became very popular, the teams had huge
amounts of cash and so started developing all these weird and wonderful ways
to go faster. The new rules were basically to keep all the whacky ideas at
bay (eg no 6-wheeled cars, no fans to suck the car onto the tarmac, no
rocket fuel, no 3 foot wide tyres). Before this time teams didn't have the
money to invest in this stuff, so the rules weren't needed.
After 1994 suddenly the emphasis changed to safety after the deaths of Senna
and Ratzenburger. Each year stricter and stricter rules were introduced to
make the sport safer. More severe crash tests, wheels that are tethered to
the chassis, that neck support system. Now in F1 hardly anyone gets
seriously injured, even if they hit a wall or roll over at 150mph.
In the last few years the gap between the top and bottom teams has been
widening because of the amount of cash the teams have. The top teams would
be bringing 10 or so engines to each race, with engines specifically for
3-lap qualifiying that would be useless afterwards. The bottom teams could
not afford to do this. So since then the rules have been changed to reduce
the performance gap between the teams, like only allowing one engine every
two races, no engine re-design during the season, only 4 sets of tyres per
event, etc.
Who knows what will happen next, but for sure the rules won't ever remain
the same.
