"The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has announced a decision to freeze engine development in Formula 1 for another 10 years, beginning next season. Development had already been forbidden since late last year.
"There will be a total freeze on engine development for a period of 10 years, starting from 2008," the WMSC’s statement read. "A change can be made after five years but only with the unanimous agreement of all stakeholders and following a further two-year notice period. Total freeze means that there will be no exceptions for development of certain parts of the engine, as is the case under the current regulations."
The decision came as a surprise as the introduction of a new technical package more environmentally friendly was expected for 2010, after the manufacturers involved in F1 submitted a proposal last week.

That's insane. I see no reason to do this at all. What are all the engine manufacturers going to do? Sit on their arses for 10 years until the next development is allowed?
The whole governing body of F1 is totally whacked. The sooner F1 gets people in charge who know what they're talking about the better. But that's just my opinion!
