Wow.... So if everyone are going to be using the same transmissions, then I guess that would sort of hinder the testing and reserch process of the different manufactures.

From what i have read Xtrac and Ricardo pretty much supply the whole f1 grid anyway and won mosley's transmission tender and i believe most if not all UK based f1 teams run a transmission made by one of them. So haveing a standard transmission will make very little difference

Nooo! Just same cars and individual coloring should be banned too. Only color allowed is a culture-revolution green, to make that exremely important sports event more open, more equal.

Takong places such serious cost cutting discussions suggests the start of questioning whether F1 should be kept as a measure of R&D and a show business at the same time. The time may be the end of life of F1 as the top contest of internal combastion engines, as Honda's recent decision of evacuation suggests. Races for less emission, less fuel consumption, noise reduction ,cost efficiency etc. are much more significant than lap time today and on.
