MODERATORS
I hope this keeps bunching the field together. Looking forward to some good racing at least until the new regs
The new regs are converging toward Formula 1 being a single-specification series. It wouldn't shock me if the 2029 regs actually end up as a spec series.
I don't think the teams will allow that. A big part of the sport is showing off your engineering aptitude as a car manufacturer. People were saying the 2022 regs were gonna be too oppressive too but we saw a lot of different concepts none the less.
I mean, I hope you're right, but at the same time, I think that we're seeing the regulations allow less and less freedom for innovation to the point that the teams will give up and just vote to turn F1 into a spec series. Wouldn't shock me, if only because it would likely save the teams money.
