A question for Captain: Why not make F1 cars smaller? We see the comparative diagrams of how cars have gotten so much larger over the years. But what if the regulations forced the cars to be smaller? Wouldn't that somewhat decrease their speeds (smaller cross-sectional area, but offset by less aero surfaces & less tire)? Smaller size should make passing on the increasing number of street courses easier, right? Or would driver safety suffer due to less crash protection? Or does the FIA/Formula 1 not really care?
