That would no longer be F1. There are lots of other categories that follow that formula (e.g. F2/3 and IndyCar) if that’s what you’re looking for. Engineering genius is an important part of F1, even historically (e.g. the “fan car”).
- chrisan 5y agoThe problem is we don't need a full race to see engineering genius. Certainly not a full season. I've been watching F1 since Senna burst out. Naturally as a kid I loved seeing him win and could care less about most other drivers of the time, certainly the bottom half. As an adult however, I wish things were more equal. F1 could do with less of a gap between the poor and rich and showcase drivers who have to constantly make choices and perform at their best to maintain vs car A vs car B where car A is always going to be superior.

And honestly even in those series' it's hardly a surprise which teams are finishing at the top all the time because they snag the most expensive drivers and just have a more well-oiled operation. Why can't there be 1 open-wheel series that is more about the engineering?
