Standardizing the brakes - no likey. Braking advances get to street cars in a hurry.

Don't like the idea of forcing teams to sell their cars to other competitors.

I like SMG or whatever variant.

Pretty much OK with everything else.

Need some really big tires, no wings, flat bottom, engine package that delivers around 1,600 h.p.

Let's go racing.

For me one of the attractions of F1 is that it's the most technologically advanced motorsport on the planet. I don't like the idea of the FIA throwing away that distinction.

I''ll just keep watching "F1 Decade" for the next 10 years, then I will start to worry.

I agree. This almost sounds like Formula Atlantic.

I like changes. Back to racing instead of watching cars drive themselves.

Hopefully all of you who disagree with the changes participated in the FIA survey on F1.
Some of the results can be seen here this is behind some of the changes.
