FIA President Max Mosley met Wednesday with his Ferrari counterpart and F1 teams’ alliance FOTA chairman Luca di Montezemolo in Nice, France. Mosley will reprise the meeting after this month’s Chinese Grand Prix with the entire FOTA contingent, to discuss what he considers the “urgent” need for “very significant” cost cuts.

Crucially, Mosley seems to have won the full backing of F1’s chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, who told Britain’s The Times newspaper that he also wants to see teams use a standard engine in 2010.

“The thing I am most excited about is pushing and pushing and pushing the homologated engine idea,” Ecclestone said.

The idea is that F1’s manufacturers build their own engines according to a common design, with only one scheduled change per driver allowed each season.
