-reduce the engine capacity to 2.4 liters and an engine would have a two races duration. They would be V8.
I dont understand the point of this rule. There would still be teams with different hp output, and it will mainly come down to how much money a team has available. So "smaller" teams will still have a disadvantage! Unless there is a rule that allows "non manufacturer" teams to purchase the same engines for a set fee (1 million per enfgine)! BTW the problem of Formula one is not the engine output, it is the amount of traction that makes the cars so dangerous. BTW a V8, I mean come on, Formula 1 should be exotic. Hell if they reduce the engine capacity, they still should leave them 10 cylinders, or 12. OR even make it something ludacrous like 2.4 litres 16 cylinders
- forbid all electronic aids, traction control etc ..
OK sounds good
- return to manual gearbox
Ok but lets still have them clutch free...
- Only one tyre manufacturer and no tyre changes during the race (but refuelling stay)
I think the one tire company rule, is a good one. Tires are so important and it is beyond a teams control, how good a tire is. So I think it is fair to limit Formula 1 to 1 tire manufacturer. However I think it is absolutely stupid not to allow tire changes. Thats the most exciting part about pitstops, seeing a mechanic screw up...
I am think they should even reduce the pit crew, so that they can only work on 2 tires at a time. So that way the pit stops are even longer, and more crucial.
Finally, they should reduce the tire size by 50%. That ought tor eally reduce grip, and make the cars much more challening to drive
The only thing that they have not considered is the aerodynamics. As far as I know this is the real expensive part about formula 1. Spending time in the wind tunnel and developing a car... They should do something about that, imo.
Now my question is why 2008!!!?! Formula 1 is boring today, and the mere thought that they will take that long to change it... Good grief..... I mean, I know they cannot change it the rules for this season, and the next (cause they already started to invest/plan for next season). But why cant we have the changes for 2006. Formula 1 has its problems now. By 2008 I will have lost all intrest
