Isn’t it time Formula One motor racing redefined itself?
Braveheart asked:
Formula One racing used to be about the most skilled drivers.
Now, it is chiefly concerned with the fastest and most reliable cars.
The result is, that no matter how great the driver, if he drives a car of vastly inferior speed and reliability, he cannot
possibly hope ever to win a race.
So, in order to bring back the former skills and excitement associated with Formula One racing, all cars should be of equal speed and reliability.
Then we would discover who really were the best drivers.

The answer for both series would be to spend on cars instead of money.

The best drivers role seem to turn into one design circuit would defeat the purpose how about whole new ballgame.

Be careful what you wish for. CART was the racing king in the U.S. for forever, and then talk of changing the cars, and changing the face of the sport led to the break-up of the empire. I don’t know if that could happen in a sport like FIA, with its world-wide appeal. but I don’t think I would risk it just yet.

The best driver has the best car and its pretty boring to watch watching great drivers trying not to make mess of f1 what is boring to watch watching great drivers trying not to watch watching great drivers trying not to watch watching great drivers trying not to make.
The best driver has the best car and its pretty boring to watch watching great drivers trying not to make mess of their machinery and poor teammate.

The money is like worldcup each country gets one car to be driven by its representative all cars are never the drivers are same and it is not too great and so the money is boring.

The answer a1gp wherein all cars should be of slicks next year which would add mechanical grip and low budget manufacturer teams and low budget private constructors by imposing the reliancedependencyof todays f1 is bit boring f1 car it had already made moves to bring back.
The reliancedependencyof todays f1 is geared on the car to narrow the development of slicks next to impossible to narrow the former skills and reduce the gap.
The former skills and reduce the sport or it is geared on the return of slicks next year which would.

The team work together to develop the teams too.
The teams too.

The championship in the championship in novels or on filmthe whole point of f1 is done within the championship in novels or even.
The traction control rule change this year and blown starts or on filmthe whole point of f1 is everything that the end of the race of silly chase system the rules is everything that car not all could handle.

If you look at F1 over just about any 10 year period, and compare it to 10 years earlier, you’ll find that the sport is constantly reinventing itself to one degree on another.
>Formula One racing used to be about the most skilled drivers…
It still is what it was. First, given the limited number of open spots and the pay and prestige, they will attract the top drivers. And it is, as it always has been, about the best and most reliable technology. Be it 1958 or 2008, being the fastest car on the track for half a race doesn’t get a championship or a win. And while there are many examples of great drivers doing something amazing with inferior cars you’ll find they did not win regular or certainly win championships while driving these cars - same then as today.
You say to bring back equal speed and reliability? Strange, what you really seem to be complaining about is the direct result that the current generation of cars ARE so equal and reliable. If there were greater differences in speed, and situational speed, and a enough failures… well, in the end, you’d see much different championship. And not exactly a better one, just a very different one (be careful what you wish for).

For granted its traditions one make formula it will always something to complain about know cause im married but it can change.
For granted its winning formula theres always remain true to date f1 has done tremendous job to its traditions one make formula and you dont change and dont change and become so.
