Yup, to keep speeds down.
In 2006, they're moving to a complete rule "package" change which will slow the cars significantly. Quite sad, they're really watering down F1...

Some of the big manufacturers are really keen to keep the V10 engines.

V10s may be kept tho will be subject to restrictions which will significantly limit hp.

Regardless, F1 is going to suck from now on. The 2004 season totally sucked. What a waste of my time. I don't even know why I bothered watching each race. Maybe I was hoping Toyota would at least get one podium...

F1 is dominated by Ferrari and Michael Shumacher, who nearly ties Tiger Woods as the highest-paid athlete in the world.
