The FIA, in a further plot to alienate the manufacturers, has released a radical proposal to reduce the amount of money teams spend.
Clearly aimed at the independant teams the proposal includes a return to manual, foot-operated clutches, a reduction in downforce to 10% of its current level, increasing the width of the cars along with a return to slick tires to improve mechanical grip as well as providing spec gearboxes and ECU's to all teams competing in the Formula One World Championship.
Unfiortunately, given the current political state of Formula One, getting all teams on board and in support of this proposal is as likely as a Minardi winning this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix. But hey, crazier things have happened, Michael Jackson is a free man after all...
