Lets not forget Lauda. Alain would have been five times world champion, but he lost the title to Niki Lauda by 1/2 point, due to the Monaco rain deluge, both of them in the MP4/2 with the TAG -Porsche turbo motor. I feel like a nostalgic old fossil for even bringing that up.
I think Ron Dennis handled those two superstars pretty well, but as devils advocate, Lauda was on his way out and Prost was on his way up.
I'd like to see F1 remove the wings completely. Undertray can be free, no moving parts (sliding skirts, etc) no barge boards or winglets.
Get rid of the 13 inch wheels, 15 or larger for the back. 13's have no connection with modern tire technology, inasmuch as it relates to road cars.
How are they going to control TCU? I heard talk about common ECM, but I can't imagine Mercedes or Renault allowing that.
Common sense left the F1 circus decades ago.
Just my 2 cents
