A single engine regime in formula one could have moved Toyota, and like-minded car manufacturers, to quit the sport.

It is believed that, at FIA president Max Mosley's meeting in Geneva this week with FOTA figures, alternative cost-cutting plans were put in place.

But these agreements may have preceded concrete threats by carmaker teams including Toyota, which was horrified at the concept of racing with an engine it did not itself devise.

"For Toyota it would be a reason to leave formula one," Toyota Motorsport president John Howett, who accompanied FOTA president Luca di Montezemolo to the Geneva meeting, is quoted as saying by sport1.de.
