  You'd probably have a car that is so incredibly fast that a driver could stay conscious driving it, and so expensive that no team could afford to build it, and a league so lopsided that no viewers would watch it. At the end of the day, F1 is in the entertainment business and they want to build a league of competitive teams so that viewers will keep their advertising dollars flowing. The best way to keep them competitive is with rules that ensure they stay within touch of one another. That being said, I think F1 still has a lot of work to do.

  They would come up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_X2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_X2010 Adrian Newey (needs no introduction if you are an F1 fan, look up his accomplishments if you are not) did exactly what you are talking about with the RB X2010 and the car is incredible to say the least. Much like my sibling comment says, a no-regulations formula league would be financially un-viable for all but a few teams. As it is, F1 is struggling considerably to balance development and testing costs with keeping the smaller teams in business. And those back-half teams are still driving very uncompetitive cars compared to the big 3 or 4 teams - we're talking 2+ seconds off the pace per lap.
