^ Meh... Yeah they could argue whatever, just like the spec changes that they made and said that it will reduce the dirty air by a lot and will make it easier for the drivers to pass each other... And guess what, the new specs had more dirty air than the last one.. At least at the start before they made changes.

They should've just kept it as is for a couple more years so we could have more Verstappen vs Hamilton, competitive seasons which would've been great for F1 overall.

It should be like that, but they're making F1 look more like "Formula E" than it actually is, just because they're too concerned about being "environmentally friendly." I mean, being environmentally friendly is fine, but they shouldn't have taken away important parts of Formula 1, like the sound, and other things, that they shouldn't have changed so much and made Formula 1 look like a joke.

Yeah dunno... Almost all the development have been going to electric power units from most of these car companies so we couldn't really blame them if they try to influence the sport to also go that route. I mean sure there's Formula E but it isn't as huge of a sport that has a huge audience. They could make F1 like Formula E and because of branding alone, F1 would still be huge. Culture have already been formed around F1.

There are people I know whose families have been die hard Ferrari fans for a couple of generations. Wear a RBR shirt then you have to take it off or you're not allowed to enter the house. Cheesy
