Formula One drivers have been banned from riding bikes on the track walk.
The pre-weekend track walk has become a tradition in the sport and allows drivers and engineers to discuss the few days ahead of them.
More and more, however, drivers have been seen riding bikes or scooters around the track, which has now been called off with a letter from the FOM.
Lewis Hamilton in particular could be seen regularly bolting round the tracks on an electric scooter.
The notice was received during the Bahrain Grand Prix on the opening weekend of the season.
