max mosely is trying too cut costs by providing a single engine and/or gear box supplier which would bring the costs down too something like £5mil a year but the teams are threatning too quit if they do as they want too build their own
1 engine would turn F1 into nothing more than the IRL with right turns.... The reason most of the teams are run by car manufacturers is because they use F1 for R&D and to showcase their products.
