There are still a lot of things that can be standardized and some things that should never be. The Halo is standard. Gearbox is to be a cassette and the casing can be bespoke, so no big issue, as long as it works like teams want. Some other stuff that can be standardized that won't affect cars too much and will stop unnecessary development... rims, mirrors, brake discs (can have options like they do with tires). But I don't think these things will save much money. The only way to save big is to go the Indy car route .... but that would kill F1. Best way right now to save big bucks.... bring back V8's with the ERS and dump these hybrids.
