It would be great if the engineering was still done on a drafting table, but that must have stopped half a century ago.
I think Indy Car nipped that in the bud with the spec car. Now racing is about racing, meaning set ups, driving and strategy. Same goes for NASCAR.
Now I know full well how everyone feel about spec racing. But F1 has run away from reason. And as a result, it is a boring circus. Now with alter entertainment.

The exception here being Adrian Newey. Still sits at the drafting board looking for that Eureka! moment using a pencil and a scale.
