More engine regs nonsense
Apparently at the meeting between the FIA and Renault, Cosworth, and Ferrari, a five year freeze on engine development was suggested by the manufacturers. I think that it is no coincidence that these three reputedly have the most powerful (or otherwise "best") engines on the grid. So why wouldn't they want to lock in the current situation for five years - they would be gauranteed success for five years basically?
I think this just highlights how silly this rule is - the teams/engines that are most successful as of June this year will continue to be the best, and will be gauranteed their position for three (or five) years. How is this fostering competition? How will this make the racing exciting when the same three teams will be winning everything? If I haven't said it before, I think it is a ridiculous rule.
