The privateers were always more than 2% slower than the manufacturers. If the FIA respects their own rules, they will definitely get a BoP break in 2013.

http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...f-shanghai/P2/ confirms that privateers will receive a performance boost.
The FIA realizes that the privateer don't have the budget to develop an engine with a bigger restrictor for the final year of the current rules. So the break will be in form of a lower minimum weight and a bigger fuel tank. Strangely this reasoning does not apply to the Toyota rear wing solution
