End of an Era

#11

How about as back to basics as possible?

Narrower tires, with 1 spec compound per race.

2-2.5L engines, ECU for engine control only, NO data from any other part
of the car.

Spec fuel.

Fully manual transmissions, without any aids, electronics etc.

Flat bottoms.

Max limit on wing area and placement.

Mandated 1 pit stop per race, with a minimum of a 4 wheel tire change.

Good for a start anyway-

I was unaware that next year F-1 was moving to a spec engine. Bad in a
way, but also a return to the days when there were 20 Cosworths in the
field.

Best,

Ross

I think one or two drivers might have something to say about that.

...but I do agree with the rest of what your 'counter proposal'.

If only the powers that be listenned to the tifosi...

You wouldn't trust it was me were there no hyperbole.

F1 is meant to be the pinnacle of motorsport. Dumbing it down so that
some club race car is more high tech defeats the purpose.
