Who is benefitting to the detriment of the sport? The Manufacturers!

If F1 simply adopted the Indycar spec the whole formula would pretty well be instantly self-funding except for the manufacturers who are clearly just bleeding the sport dry.

Tell the manufacturers that whatever engine spec they wish to have will have to be supplied to customers at equivalent spec at all times and will cost $50 000 a piece. Remove the engine use limit and allow the teams to but any number of engines they wish.

Brilliant post.
