Right, here's my alternative five year plan (OK, it's a three year one) :P
2009 : Current engines rev limited further (17,500 or so) to increase engine life to four races/tests.
2009 : Drastic testing cuts. No team will be issued with F1 tyres outside of an official F1 test and the FIA should remove the spec ECU chips. Only three official tests during the season and none when the circus is outside Europe.
2009 : Rejigging of Concorde money so that all teams get an equal share.
2010 : Like Max, Introduction of standard parts where there is little room for road relevant development and the public don't care about the development. These would be wheels, brakes, all aero parts.
2010 : Limits on how many staff can be taken per race to 50 (Europe) and 30 (Outside Europe). All hospitality to be run by FOM.
2011 : Survival cell added to 2010 list to reduce costs due to crash testing.
When we are out of the economic downturn : New engine rules to increase road relevancy.
