Would the manufacturers want anything to do with an F1 based on Indy type engines though?
Take them away and what do you have? Who's paying the mega bucks for the superstar drivers? In reality that's who 90% of the audience are there for. Not for F1 itself.
It's the super stars that set F1 apart from every other series. Sort out all the aero issues, give them amazing engines but a load of drivers in the cars that the majority of the audience have never heard of and the audience plummets overnight.
To me the only person who seems to understand what makes F1 special these days is Mark Webber.
Like them or loath them it would be commercial suicide for a manufacturer to be seen backing a sport going away from what the public perceive as "green" engines.
