Yes, good point about the 107% rule, otherwise it could be a bit of a farce. And with the 107% rule there would be no need to restrict F1 to 12 teams, additional competition at the back of the grid might be a good thing.
I see what you're saying about banning customer cars but I think F1 would have to make huge cost savings to make this realistic, especially in the current climate. I don't think Williams and Force India will accept customer cars getting equal shares to their own (and they've got a point), so I guess there may be some compromises made on that score.
