Point taken, and agreed with, but F1 is a traditionally pretty bad example for this. They regularly, including during the Schumacher days, changed rules to try and make things closer.
- Retric 5y agoF1 keeps things balanced in terms of hardware not drivers. It’s supposed to be a racing competition not an engineering one.
- pureliquidhw 5y agoConstructor championships in F1 are a big deal and keep the midfield interesting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Constructors%27_Champions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Co... I would argue F1 is as much about engineering as the driver. Hamilton on a different team likely excells, but probably doesn't win nearly as much.
- darick 5y agoThat's just not true, F1 is one of the few examples of a competition that is almost equally about engineering and racing.
- walterlb 5y agoF1 definitely does NOT keep things balanced. Though they do try, but they have to balanced engagement from fans, well-funded teams, and teams with less financial backing.
- InitialLastName 5y ago> It’s supposed to be a racing competition not an engineering one. Then why is all the prize money distributed based on the Constructors' championship, which is effectively which team does the best engineering? Indycar is the racing competition; F1 is car design competition that is judged by the racing ability of the cars, drivers and teams combined.
