F1 going down the drain?
Would be fine with me for F1 to go away and come back under completely different management/direction.
Every single rules change since I started following the series in '91 has been in exactly the WRONG direction. Except for going back to slicks, but that took over ten years, to correct an idea that was exceedingly dumb in the first place!
What F1 needs, IMO:
still smaller displacement limit (1.6?), open cylinder count, open configuration (v-angle, etc.), unlimited rpm
number of wing elements reduced to one, *maybe* two elements
much smaller front wing (reduced chord and span and allowable depth/camber)
reduced chord and allowable depth/camber for the rear wing
allow limited underbody venturi tunnels!
Then the cars could RACE one another.
Yeah, I should run F1...

FOTA had the right idea and was the best placed entity to turn F1 around.
After they caved and we got more word on the changes for 2010 I removed F1 from the recorder list of my DVR. Apparently there are a lot more people like me than I ever dreamed.
