It is all talk to try and force the hands of the FIA.

hurrah....the impending demise of the money circus/technical(non driving) skill/procession that F1 has become.
I'm afraid I now rate it as a "sport" alongside darts and ballroom dancing.
time to re-invent itself

Indeed, the best step forward F1 could make would be to set up a new competition and get rid of these 2.

Renault were looking to bow out last year and were persuaded to stay in. I went to a Renault track day ( I have a Megane) and got talking to one of the team officials.
This was always going to happen.

Strange observation, Formula One is more competitive and enthralling so far this season that it's been for 20 years
But there are serious moves to-revent the sport. The problem is that Renault and Ferrari do not want the sport to be reinvented. They would prefer a procession where their big budget guarunteed them a place near the front of the grid.

I think the point the right honourable gentleman was making was that success is primarily down to the machine, and not the bag of warm gristle behind the wheel guiding it.

Show's you they have no real power if the teams don't want to comply with their dictatorship. It seems to me it's one of the richest sports in the world, run by two people on their whim at any given moment.

Alonso/Piquet
Hamilton/Kovalainen
Same cars...massive gulf in performances..verdict? The above is bollocks, it's like saying the football boots make the difference between footballers

The fact that this is true in a season in which one driver has won 80% of the races, truly is a damning indictment of the 'sport'.
edit to add: in response to your questions about Alonso/Piquet and Hamilton/Kovalainen, I was having this discussion with my dad at the weekend. The difference is that while an average driver, in a good car, can win the world championship, a good driver, in an average car, cannot. THAT is an indication of the extent to which the machinery, rather than the drivers, dominate the sport.

Won't be the case by seasons end, that is what is making it so enthralling. One team hit the ground running with a big advantage that is being whittled away whilst the big boys are at the back of the field. If Wolves end up being top of the table after 6 games next season and Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and United struggle at the bottom, wouldn't you LOVE it? You'd know it wouldn't last but don't tell me you wouldn't find it more interesting?

Because Renault aren't always whinging and for years haven't had FIA (apparently) in their pocket
