in the round-up: The F1 rules for 2013 will allow teams to
improve the look of their cars but prevent them from using Double DRS.
2013 F1 rules published
The 2013 F1 sporting and technical regulations have been
published by the FIA.
Among the new rules is the allowance for a panel on the
front of the car to disguise the stepped noses which have appeared on most cars
this year:
With the exception of an optional, single piece,
non-structural fairing of prescribed laminate (whose precise lay-up may be
found in the Appendix to the regulations) which may not be more than 625mm
above the reference plane at any point, no bodywork situated more than 1950mm
forward of rear face of the cockpit entry template may be more than 550mm above
the reference plane.

They also forbid the use of DRS to alter other aspects of
the car’s performance, effectively banning systems such as Mercedes’ Double
DRS:
It cannot be used to change the geometry of any duct, either
directly or indirectly, other than the change to the distance between adjacent
sections permitted by Article 3.10.2.
