F1 News: Horner Warns FIA Over Engine Freeze

When Horner speaks, I tend to listen.

But we don't want too much equalization.

This is a tough issue indeed with good arguments on both sides.

What do you guys think?

FIA should NOT make the faster engines de-tune their motors, they should make the slower engines go faster.

I think they should deregulate the engines completely. This will allow the teams to make the cars faster using all sorts of different options. With the refueling ban, I think that engine development would naturally progress towards fuel efficiency as well to reduce the amount of fuel the cars are required to carry at the start of the race to last for 2 hrs.

That being said, the Renault engine that the Red Bulls used last year led them to 2nd place in the constructor's championship. They were right on the pace from the get-go without even having the double diffuser. I don't doubt Horner when he says the Renault engine is at a disadvantage, but they sure found a way around it last year.
