On Friday April 23, FIA President Max Mosley, without warning, unleashed his vision for Formula One's future.

His raft of radical proposals have rocked the pitlane, with some insiders saying that his plans represent a major step backwards, while Bernie Ecclestone declares it's a case of "back to the future".

For too long the majority of those that populate Planet Paddock have been fooling themselves - and to a certain extent the rest of us - that all is well, when it clearly wasn't.

This isn't a time to labour on the past and cry "we told you so", though the pitpass team in its previous incarnations can lay claim to being amongst the first, and loudest, to warn the inhabitant of Planet Paddock as to what was really happening. No, this is a time to look forward.

Therefore looking at the core changes that Max envisages we want to know what your thoughts are. Has he gone too far, has he not gone far enough?

Rest assured that this is one of the few Formula One sites that the insiders really read, therefore your opinions will be noted by many of those that matter.

Again, this isn't the time to point the finger, it's the time to work together for the good of our sport.

Therefore looking at the core changes Max is looking at, let's have your views.

Those core proposals are

Engine

2.4 litre V8
To last two races
Standard ECU (under FIA control)

Transmission, braking and steering

Manual gearbox with electronic over-rev safeguard
Manually operated clutch
Ban on electronically controlled differentials
Ban on power steering systems
Standard brake discs, pads and calipers

Chassis

Weight limit reduced

A combined tyre and aerodynamic package - to achieve specific targets for cornering speeds, straight-line speeds, grip and braking performance, taking weight reduction into acount
