My first reaction was to agree with the loss of TC and then to remove self shifting trannies and let them stir a shifter so we see races like the "good ole days".
But then I look at the results from the "good ole days" and 1/2 the field retires from every race, then the other 1/2 on track 1-3 cars end up lapping the field 2-4 times in a race.
Today its a feat to lap up to P6 or so and 80-90% of the cars stay in the race.
There were some amazing races this year, most of them rain races and honestly Brazil was pretty exciting, yes P1-P3 remained the same for the entire race pretty much but the mid pack was dicing it up nicely.
If they remove aero, TC, paddle shifters, etc... then it seems they are just going backwards technology wise.
I agree with legion give them X amount of fuel and tell them to build a car to win. Leave it wide open.
Motion - I understand what your saying I understood they can still develop the engine to be more reliable, but I can see the frustration of the fans that want to see the teams come out with advancements in the engines. They can only tweek a little and it would be cool to see one come out with something that turns the sport on its ear again. Limiting revs to 19K is kind of a step backwards if would be neat to see what they could squeeze out of these 2.4 liter engines.
