can customer cars be far off? can customer cars be far off?As I have posted here on previous times, F1 and Bernie have killed the sport(actually an expensive business) thru their insane attempts of reducing costs and “pseudo-green” power units(engines).
Now we have one and only one entrant that can take the pole AND win. Both of those come at speed advantages formerly unheard of except on very rare occasions. Sure Ferrari during the Shoe years and Red Bull during the Vettle years were dominant but not at the huge advantages MB has now. Qualifying was much closer but the wins were due to racecraft and strategy.
Today we sometimes see almost two seconds between 1st qualifier and 3rd with race speeds an easy two seconds faster. Nobody wants to watch a race like that just like nobody likes to go to game after game of 20-1 baseball.
F1 claims they did this for cheaper costs in racing!!!! The most expensive engine package ever in any kind of racing is what they ended up with. No, get back to letting designers be designers and the engines do what people like, scream like banshees leaving hell. NO MORE SPEC CARS IN F1.
Otherwise we will have 20 MB cars racing each other with 20 MB contracted drivers?
Better yet, maybe think about no factory owned teams except for niche factories like Ferrari. Nobody anywhere will be willing to spend the money to go up against MB. You say Honda will but we have seen in the past attempts by them to go F1 racing and in ain’t purdy.
What I have read about the 3rd car is that the big teams may be required to provide a car to the ailing small teams.
