GENEVA (AP) - Formula One team bosses have unveiled plans designed to save the sport amid the world financial crisis.
The Formula One Teams Association, which represents the 10 current teams in the sport, announced its blueprint for the future Thursday at a news conference in Geneva.
The group believes team budgets can be halved by next year. It wants to provide affordable engines, ban in-season testing and limit technological updates.
FOTA also proposes giving broadcasters use of radio conversations between drivers and mechanics.
The group also wants race winners to get 12 points instead of 10.
Races could be reduced to a maximum of 155 miles, or 1 hour, 40 minutes.
