Seriously unconvincing

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/formula_one/13878359.stm

this one is a bit unconvincing. You want to improve economy? Fine, I have a better idea.

All technology available to engineers should be made available any configuration.

the qualifying timing rule will make sure people are sufficiently fast enough.

My idea is simple. Any engine should be able to be used, be it turbocharged supercharged, both, naturally aspirated. High Revving large displacement.

1 tank of fuel to last the race.

and a points scoring system for the trophy most important to teams "The constructors title." Whoever has the lowest fuel consumption (and not lapped you still have to be fast) should be awarded the same amount of points as a win for a driver and so on. This will give the teams something to think about.

Hybridisation should have be more free of regulation so we can see the teams optimise their systems for all the way around the track - always on always working boosting constantly. We would see some proper hybrids then and some very fast paced technology development.

That would give F1 an edge and give it its cutting edge feel. Even though we have seen some pretty damn awesome racing mostly down to artificial differences "push to pass" and KERS, these sorts of changes would see what F1 really needs variety. Just imagine 4 cylinder turbo supercharged vs V12 turbos V8 turbos V6 turbos V8 high rev. The combinations are endless, but all the teams would have to work to a point as their car would still need to be fast.

It would also show what would be the most fuel efficient combination. Along with this suppliers should be required to only supply a maximum of 3 teams and also open up the tire choices and vendors. Vendors would only be allowed 3 teams and this would be chosen at random by the FIA charging would be capped and development would have to be done on the tire makers "dime"

Would give us more variety again.

Secondly open up the aero rules a little, I think the push to pass should be linked to a traction control system as its too dangerous to remove that much load instantly in high speed corners.

EFI control should be different for every team.

I would say that traction control should be used but I am torn on this. It could raise the limit that the drivers could achieve and then some, it could make for some impossible maneuvers
