It is the most interesting chapter in the book.
- ISL 13y agoSearch 'look inside' for the word 'banned' to see what greg's talking about. He's right. That's cool. What would F1 be like if they relaxed all the rules? Edit: Just got through the chapter, the author speculates on what would be possible without bans.
