Drastic proposals by the FIA last year to introduce a standardized engine across all teams - a nonstarter for the likes of Ferrari - quickly looked like scare tactics aimed at exacting concessions elsewhere from the teams. "Formula One is Ferrari, and Ferrari is Formula One," Bernie Ecclestone, the sport's commercial-rights holder, said in response to the Italians' ultimatum. "That is not going to change."
