I think that this is a shame, but really Max has been backed into a corner and there needs to be drastic cuts in costs if more teams aren't to pull out imminently. This would work in cutting costs so long as the rival engines don't have a performance advantage. The current ban on developing engines isn't working as the engines are really expensive to make even when they're not being developed, but there are loopholes that have been exploited so that the engines were developed anyway.

If this is done properly then I think in the long term it will be very positive for F1, despite the complaints of Ferrari and Toyota.
