I agree with you that simpler and long lasting rules could help bring the costs down (just look at the 3000 cc formula that allowed so many teams to give it a go thanks to the Cosworth DFV), the problem is that I'm not sure that it would be enough at this stage. As a matter of principle I'm not very comfortable with a budget cap but something has to be done Budget cap is a wrong strategy, since there are many practical reasons why it is doomed to fail. It will not solve whatever problem they are trying to solve. (Too many convoluted objectives). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems its more about keeping shareholders happy, than preserving sport's DNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
