FIA engine mode restriction

It's looking increasingly likely that the FIA, in an understandable attempt to reduce Mercedes general dominance this season, are going to bring in a rule restricting teams to using a single power mode for the whole weekend. The obvious intention of this is to stop Mercedes using 'party mode' in qualifying, now that the mercedes engine has caught up to the figures ferrari were hitting with their questionable engine last year. 
I hope I'm proven wrong, but i don't think it will work, and may actually reduce the quality of the race. It will hurt Tracing Point and Williams through no fault of their own, and with all teams restricted to a set mode it will reduce overtaking opportunities and in race strategy for all of the teams. And Mercedes will still be fastest, just by a slightly smaller amount in qualifying 

Why is F1 the only sport in the world that hates success? it is the only sport in the world that actually tries to punish teams who get it right instead of encouraging people to do a better job of the regulations. Everyone works to the same set of rules laid out. This has happened all through the history of F1 and not just because of the excellence of Mercedes at the moment. In every business across the world the best talents end up at the biggest and best companies. Talent follows success and people strive to be given the chance to test themselves in that environment, if they are not up to scratch then they soon get found out, leave and find a level where they can fit in. Someone always sets the bar high and then it up to the rest of the world to try their damndest to get there, not the other way around being dropped down a peg or two so it looks like everyone else has caught up which in my mind is rewarding failure.  F1 is the absolute top level of motorsport and i think there are too many rules and restrictions. Teams should be given as much technical freedom as they want. We would end up with some crazy speeds and inventions. See all the little quirks that teams have come up with that end up banned in recent years.  

What the FIA are doing all through the history of F1 would be comparable to telling Usain Bolt to wear a weight belt during his 100m sprints or saying you can only run on one leg. Telling the Federers/Nadals/Djokovics of tennis that instead of using a racket they can only use their hands to hit the ball back or that they can only use a forehand shot all match in the hope that people can get near their level. Limiting the number of clubs that Tiger could use during his prime. Telling the successful football teams they can only field 9 players instead of 11 from the start. Look at Celtic at the moment going for 10 in a row, I'm a Rangers fan but you dont hear me complaining to the SFA that they must be handicapped because they are too good, its up to my clubs and other in Scotland to do better. 

On the FIA banning "Party Mode" - this won't make one bit of difference as all teams(engines) now have a party mode....

Hate the thought that the fia might do that. The entire sport will be hit hard.
