I really don't understand, what was wrong with the 2002 rules that since then FIA has wanted to change them so much and so often.
Cutting costs? Well, have the budgets of teams decreased since 2002? No! So why bother?
The domination of Ferrari? In F1 there have always been some shorter or longer periods, when one team dominates. It doesn't mean this lasts forever, situations in F1 alter quickly. 2002 was simply one extraordinary year and it doesn't mean future would have been like that too.
Reduce speeds? This one I can understand to (some) extent and some compatible changes have been made.
Now with standard engines Max seems to have a radical idea about cutting costs - to get the biggest spenders (aka factory teams) out of F1. :
Here seems to be a discussion about WRC vs F1 situation.
Well, WRC is in a different situation and considering their current low, the changes are needed - arguably in 2010 we could see more manufacturers (maybe 6-7 instead of current 4), so that's a step forward. However, I don't see, how will the standard engine improve the state of F1 - it may actually diminish the amount of teams.

Double world champion Fernando Alonso would think about quitting Formula One if the sport adopted a standard engine from 2010

An awful lot of money moves around in Motorsport and some people have definitely profited through the FIA and their roles in the organisation.

Good to see a driver with some principles at last. Hopefully this, combined with similar threats from Ferrari and Toyota, will be enough to blow this retarded idea completely out of the water for good.
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
