It’s been a problem pretty much forever. It’s the biggest downfall of a formula series like this, as opposed to Indy which is much closer to a spec series.

I’m really hoping Liberty are in this for the long haul and aren’t just in it to increase their stock price. Unfortunately the hole is so deep they need to take it one step at a time. A complete overhaul will alienate the teams and hardcore fans.

We’re heading in the right direction. More standardized parts, less downforce, possible spending cap, better sustainability, better fan access...the list goes on.

I like to blame Bernie Ecclestone for a lot of problems F1 currently has but if there’s one thing the teams have proved it’s that they’d happily burn the entire thing to the ground if it meant they could be king of the ashes. It’s like they can’t comprehend being less dominant now and increasing parity will make everyone more money in the long run.
