FIA confirms 2015 rules including standing restarts - F1 Fanatic
pretty funny they're saying that switching from 5 engines to 4 is a "cost cutting" step, seeing as the real money spent is in the R+D and engineering with teams spending upwards of $150 million a year, a $1 million engine is a drop in the bucket. If anything the teams will have to spend ten times that much re-engineering their 4 motors to last 20% longer -_-

They will spend tons of money just to make the motors last longer, far more than to just build some new engine.
