I think standard engines would be too big of a pill to swallow. Whilst others cant, i can still live with standard tyres (its something largely out of control of the teams anyway if it were to still be a tyre war) and ECU's (how else can they effectively keep a ban on driver aids?). The FIA and Bernie would have standard chassis, engines, gearbox and wings given the chance though.

The current engines have the problem where despite how long theyre made to last, theyre a bloody expensive engine to produce parts wise. The development of them is supposedly frozen now, or at least semi frozen, but the engines themselves are far from cheap - be that because theyre of the small displacement, high revs nature or some other reason. If the FIA and the teams could fix that problem they'd have a good deal of problems solved.
