- Engines to last more than one race, with power reduced.
May actually enhance the technological advancement aspect of F1. Not sure how you monitor it from race-to-race, though. I think there will be some fudging going on and that sticking with one-engine per weekend is a better plan.
- Engine manufacturers to put forward additional proposals to cut engine costs by 50 per cent. This may be achieved through a new smaller, engine formula, or by extending the lifespan of V10 engines.
It's probably time to change engine formula. Again, it pushes the technology to reduce size of engine.
- Traction control and electronic driver aids to be outlawed.
Then they'll go back to the situation where the teams with money will come up with creative ways to fudge it. Inability to enforce this and bickering between the teams was the reason drivers aids were legalized in the first place. This is a giant step backward and will further distance the have teams from the have-nots.
- Standard brake discs, pads and calipers.
Stifling technical innovation. Not really in the spirit of F1.
- Weight limits to be reduced.
No prob.
- The need for a single tyre supplier.
This also smacks of stiffling innovation, but what is currently happening is that one team bennefits from the tyre innovations more than others and odd alliances form with only two manufacturers. I say either make it worthwhile for five or six manufacturers to compete, or go ahead and standardize on a spec tyre and make it more about the car.
- The need for a new qualifying system.
Like the tried and true hour qualifying sessions. How novel.
