Yes and the engines should come at a fixed price and be randomly allocated to the teams out of a pool by the FIA.

It is also all very well that the manufacturers be allowed to showcase their technology, however they should not be allowed to charge the customer teams exorbitant bills to provide the PU's.

The PU's should be priced at the level of a normally aspirated 3 litre V10.

Failing this agreement F1 should just return to the 3 litre V10s which would be much more widely attainable than just from Mercedes. (Nobody else can build one.)

Note to Richard on the "run what you brung" formula libre, how much worse could it get than Mercedes' total dominance of the last 3 years? We have never experienced anything that has come close!
