This would seem to be a good idea, but it would mean that all the teams using that supplier's PUs would also have to identical gearboxes and other parts of the running gear, plus would have to run even more standardised electronics.


This would surely stifle innovation when we should be encouraging it. And is possibly one of the reasons that Williams, for example, decided that they would rather create their own gearboxes, etc. rather than beholden to Mercedes.
