Spec racing (give everyone the same engine) does have its benefits but also negatives. Purists will never go for it, MB, Ferrari, Mclaren, Renault, also won't as only one would remain. I wouldn't do engines but do think some amount of "spec" makes sense, maybe transmissions (most would be amazed out how few options come on production auto's), maybe brakes, maybe some body parts. All cost reductions and loses some of the "pinnacle of motorsports", but for me I would like far more parity in the grid and something needs to change.

I agree with the idea that F1 should be the 'pinnacle of motorsport' and that teams should be allowed, with few restrictions, to build the best car they possibly can. But...that's obviously not working.
