Default The FIA is going to kill F1 - look at what they want to do



"On Friday April 23, FIA President Max Mosley, without warning, unleashed his vision for Formula One's future. His raft of radical proposals have rocked the pitlane, with some insiders saying that his plans represent a major step backwards, while Bernie Ecclestone declares it's a case of "back to the future". Looking at the core changes that Max envisages, we want to know what your thoughts are. Has he gone too far, has he not gone far enough?"

I know the specs of the engine have been posted, but here is a pic

I think this is just the worst thing that i have ever seen, it is cool to bring back retro cars for road cars, but f1 should stay the same

I agree... if F1 looked like that, NOBODY would watch it.

this is bull shit, F1 cars need some restrictions and the sport needs to be made a little cheaper, but cars should be individually built by teams, there needs to be heterogeneity, that is what progress is all about, when all cars are same or really similar there is no incentive to improve the technology, strategy is part of F1 racing, as are setups and driver performance, but individual car performance is vital to ensure good variety ... this man should be laughed at, then fired, and finally go on ophra to tell his story ... and someone please inform him that he is smoking entirely too much crack
