The FIA's World Motor Sport Council has announced a decision to freeze engine development in Formula 1 for another 10 years, beginning next season. Development had already been forbidden since late last year.
"There will be a total freeze on engine development for a period of 10 years, starting from 2008," the WMSC's statement read. "A change can be made after five years but only with the unanimous agreement of all stakeholders and following a further two-year notice period. Total freeze means that there will be no exceptions for development of certain parts of the engine, as is the case under the current regulations."
The decision came as a surprise as the introduction of a new technical package more environmentally friendly was expected for 2010, after the manufacturers involved in F1 submitted a proposal last week.
Today's WMSC meeting also homologated Spyker's name change into "Force India" for next year.
