Yes. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't support such a rule. But about limiting engine use, they should only choose for not restricting, or restricting to one engine per weekend or one engine per season. All other options requires an artificial, complex and possibly unfair set of rules.

It's not really the production costs that will be the problem.It will be the development costs,which means building loads of engines to test that will never see the light of day.

Ironically, the FIA never considered this as a problem when they introduced and tightened the rules for enforced engine reliability.

Plus if you're only allowed one engine per season when do you introduce the upgrade?

If they FIA would allow only one engine per season, mid-season engine development would be impossible and hence effectively banned.
