Red Bull Racing's technical chief Adrian Newey has admitted to concern that the new lower nose regulations introduced in Formula One may have uninentionally made driver safety worse.
F1 cars are not made for American tracks. Now that's the stupidest thing I ever heard.wesley123 wrote:really, germanengeneering, your suggestions are pretty much stupid.
1. you put a cost cap in of 100 mil, then you put back unlimited engines, that wont change a damn thing as they wont be able to increase the number of engines used.
2. a point system where the first 6 gets points is stupid too, that means 20 other drivers wil not score any points, thus overall making half the field at least be without points at the end of the season
3. the CDG wing is also a bad idea, it was rejected for something actually
4. The f1 cars arent made for american circuits, certainly not for ovals, it is simply just dangerous and cars need a complete revamp only for those races
But if we put a budget cap on all the teams there will be an equal playing field so even the worst team has a chance to win. You are seeing this in Nascar now the biggest team Hendrick racing has all the money and is winning all the time. They are like the Ferrari of Nascar.wesley123 wrote:that is a true thing, but even with then, if after 3 races 50% of the field is excluded for the championship because they got a big 0 behind their name it is actually pretty stupd then.
I would love to see a point for pole, most overtakes and fastest laps for example, that would add a playing field for the drivers
Perhaps the first thing you could do is answering people in one post and not 3 in a row.Germanengineering wrote:I have to do something. I don't really like Jean Todt I don't think he will do a great job. If anything he will favor Ferrari.
Maybe you should worry about yourself and just focus on the subject.Ogami musashi wrote:Perhaps the first thing you could do is answering people in one post and not 3 in a row.Germanengineering wrote:I have to do something.

I feel just the opposite.I think the tyres should be made to last only 1/3 distance or less. They should degrade so much that a change is needed...
It is a fine balance. Tyre manufacturers will not come into F1 if the regulations make their tyres wear badly, it is not good PR.strad wrote:I feel just the opposite.I think the tyres should be made to last only 1/3 distance or less. They should degrade so much that a change is needed...
They should drop the requirement to change at all and the hard choice should be hard enough to jussssst reach the finish badly worn.
The softs would wear out and have to be changed,,the hard compound, IF you nursed them could make it the whole distance and that would be good PR from a durability aspect which is what 90% of the shoppers are looking for. They could advertise how well their hards held up and how good the performance of their softs were..WIN WINIt is a fine balance.
