Ferrari wants to quit?

Lately, the FIA has comes up with a idea for cutting cost in F1. The FIA wants all teams to use a standard engine for 2010 and wouldn't accept the engines the respective teams produce. Both Ferrari and Toyota are planning to leave F1 if the FIA wouldn't allow them to use their own engines. Besides that, Mclaren and BMW are also agreeing with Ferrari and Toyota to leave the sport should this decision be carried out.

But it turns out, the FIA are not going to change their minds about the problem. They also said that they had offered 3 options the first option is that teams are to use a standard engine, the second is that they accept engines from only one manufacturer and the third is that the major teams supply power trains to independents teams. Funny they should even mention all three because from my point of view the 3 options seem to be the same...

The FIA are seriously a bunch of weirdos that loves coming up with weird rules. Back in 2005 the rule is that teams are not to change tires during a race, obviously that failed since in 2006 teams are allowed to change tires again. Then for this year they said no traction control and drivers are only allowed to change engines after the engine is used in 2 races.

If Ferrari were to quit Formula 1 I think the sport would lose half of its viewers. Some people just watch because they are Ferrari supporters.
