Paul,
Here is what you've been asking for.

Not exactly! It sounds like NASCAR and other U.S. racing where rules are
adjusted race to race. It does not reward hard work and innovation.
In fact it penalizes it.

A very communist way of looking at things. You might as well get
drunk or stoned and forget work, innovation and racing :)

   Teams to get technical freedom in exchange for £30m cost cap

IA <ttp://www.formula1.com/photos/597x478/sutton/2003/d03mal613.jpg">

The FIA has announced that from 2010, teams will be allowed more
technical freedom if they agree to a cost cap of £30million, to cover
expenditure of any kind. Teams will also be free to instead continue
running under the existing rules, which are to remain stable until 2012.

The teams that accept the cost cap will be granted technical freedoms in
three main areas: a more aerodynamically efficient (but standard) under
body; movable wings; and an engine which is not subject to a rev limit
or a development freeze.

To ensure that the cost-capped cars have neither an advantage nor a
disadvantage when compared to cars running to the existing rules, the
FIA will retain the right to adjust elements of these freedoms.

The FIA says the move provides, in essence, a choice between (i) the
current freedom to spend and continued adherence to the existing
technical constraints and (ii) a new degree of freedom to innovate
technically but with a severely restricted budget.

According to the FIA, the aim is to make it easier for new teams to
enter and also allow existing teams to participate on much reduced
budgets should they so choose.
