The FIA announced in Shanghai on Friday afternoon it has opened a tender process for a standard engine in Formula 1 from 2010. The tender comes as a surprise as team bosses and the FIA were supposed to meet on this subject next week in Geneva.
The FIA published a statement saying: "The FIA will today open the tender process for the appointment of a third party supplier of engines and transmission systems to be used by competitors in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 FIA Formula One World Championship.
"The tender summary and requirements will be published on the FIA website shortly."
