The FIA president had requested the carmakers' suggestions amid the warning that he might simply devise his own new rules.
We reported recently that BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Renault and Toyota had agreed to a 675 hp formula that involves four-race engines and an energy recovery 'boost' button.
Mosley told the German newspaper Die Welt: "We would have supported it, if the private teams would have been guaranteed an engine supply for 10 million euros rather than 15 million per season.
"Unfortunately the manufacturers did not accept it."

Grrrr, no boost button, engine freeze as is for another 10 years :
The manufacturers wanted a 675 hp formula for 2010 and beyond comprising four-race engines and an energy recovery 'boost' button.
(...)
"There will be a total freeze on engine development for a period of 10 years, starting from 2008," a statement issued by the Paris based FIA announced on Wednesday.
