LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One's governing body said on Wednesday it had looked into 'procedural issues' that occurred at the Japanese Grand Prix and would correct them for the future.

The Paris-based FIA did not spell out what it was referring to but the shortened Oct. 9 race at Suzuka triggered anger and alarm when a recovery tractor was deployed while cars were following the safety car in poor visibility and slippery conditions.
