Agreed. I understand the intent behind FIA changing the rules, but I'm really questioning if this is the right approach to the problem of increasing costs. And as with all restrictive rules, it will end up costing about the same or more in the end due to the higher budget teams spending huge amounts of money to squeeze every last little drop of performance out of the restrictive ruleset. The N/A engines will probably end up looking like F1 engines.. teams will spin them to astronomical RPMs to get more power, and the required cost increases exponentially with RPMs & power.
