• Mosley empowered to negotiate - Grandprix.com
  "It was also agreed that Formula 1 teams will be allowed to equalise engine performance across the field for 2009, pending the introduction of cost-saving measures from 2010. This in interesting as it would seem to be a move to help the manufacturers that are not doing a very good job in F1 this year.

Yikes.
