    Crumbling little by little. First spec tire, then V10 to V8 to I4. Gotta wonder how strong Honda would've been with such a configuration.

    If this is all true it sounds like they are in disarray. The suggested quali arrangement is sure to kill a driver if they are serious about it.

    I hope from the ashes F1 may yet again return to its roots.

    IMO PornoMax's for ever changing cost cutting ideas are helping to finish off F1.

    How is a 1.8 litre turbo going to get 30% less emisions than a N/A 2.4 V8? IIRC you can have a 2.4 litre W24 and still have the same emmisions as a 2.4 litre 1 cylinder engine.

    Big, big pluspoint of turbo engines can be mega, mega fast quali times. Remember the 1200+ qualifying engines?!

    Probably a fantasy though, with porno MaXXX being in charge with his cost cutting fetish.

    1200 HP qualy engines won't be there since future engines may have to last more than the current two races.

    And for CHRIST SAKES, WILL AN ADULT PLEASE STAND UP AND RUN THE FIA? FOTA do not seem to be any better. All, just a bunch of children running around in circles.

    I would rather see F1 take a year off to get things sorted, than be reduced to 18 car grids, standard engines, medals instead of points, and whatever else "Porno Max" and Bernie want instituded.
