It seems that the FIA have finaly cottoned onto a proper way to limit the spending in F1, and that is to limit the spending in F1 (about time geniuses)

The FIA have proposed to limit team spending to 150 million dollars a year, and to reduce the engine freeze to only 5 years, with the possibility of a new engine regulation to be brought in (probably smaller turbocharged engines, as they are better on fuel and emitions).

Most of the team principles have agreed to this (with Ross Brawn actually pushing the idea).

I say most, it seems that one of F1’s biggest spenders don’t like the idea. No not Toyota, instead Ferrari.

It would impact them quite badly, as there driver lineup would account for a good chunck of the 150 million budget.

I like the idea, it’s worked in other sports for years (Basketball, American Football, Baseball for example).

Let’s hope that the teams have a more free rain on what they can do, as long as they stick inside the budget, it should hopefully bring the creativeness back into F1.
