What (somewhat) ruins the current regs re: the power train, is the stupid maximum fuel allowed and the fuel flow rate. This is the reason that the cars aren't allowed to rev to their full potential and create obscene power. Uncork the damn things and let them run without the ridiculous fuel constraints. We'll see even better racing than we did this year as the power/torque of the cars will really separate the 'men from the boys', AND the cars will sound much better at higher revs.

X2. I especially have never understood the fuel flow rate. Since the tank is limited and they can't refuel who cares what the rate of use is. When they run out they will stop.
At this point I also prefer they stay with the turbo. In the not to distant future I believe virtually all normal cars will be turbo'd and this keeps the F1 engines closer to relevant.
I also think the main problem with money is the top teams are paid far more than the other's even when the others are successful. Getting rid of guaranteed payments and spreading the money around more equally would make the racing better and fill up the grid.
