1. All engines to be < 1.4litres since thats all the government will allow us in a few years.
2. Maximum CO2 ratings to be imposed.
3. Impose a fuel ration. Each season this ration will be reduced. This simulates the effect of fuel tax.
4. Bring back turbos & superchargers and even pedals if they want but any such performance improving devices will have to show an economy improvement before passing scrutineering.
5. Its not fair to have the richest and most successful setting a bad example so at the mid point of the season the top 3 drivers have to swap to diesel engines for the remainder of the season.
6. Going fast isn't environmentally sound and we shouldn't be condoning it anymore. The main straight of each circuit to be replaced with an obstacle course of potholes, speed bumps and speed cameras
7. Penalties for not carrying a passenger - what waste single seaters are. Honestly.
8. Boot space. God knows how these crazy F1 guys have been getting away with it for so long but they should have to carry a set load, maybe a typical weekly shop and a bunch of pushchairs and the like. The size and weight of this will be a mystery randomly chosen for each race. Points to be deducted for broken eggs.
9. Econo-lanes. Yes, just like bus lanes for racing circuits these will be placed on the racing line for selected corners. Only drivers of human powered, fuel cell or solar powered cars will be allowed to use them.

There should be extra points for 'car sharing' schemes as well.
If this had been around last year Alonso and Hamilton could have shared a car (for bonus points) which would have greatly reduced the in-team rivalry and their carbon footprint.
