I prefer football pre cap. This season is a prime example of the "parity" mentality ruining football.
F1 greatest years are past, no cap was the best and remain the best F1 will have ever been.
Cap clearly stopped teams like Ferrari and Merc this year from making greater strides in updates. The cap negatively changed the racing at the front of the pack. Comparing football and F1 is apples to oranges. We aren't talking about a team of 55 individuals, that are interchangeable at anytime. We are talking about a car that teams spend most of their budget pre season building. The cap handicaps slower teams from making many large updates to the car through out the season. They now have to wait to off season to make drastic and more expensive changes to the car.
Merc quite possibly could have abandoned their no sidepod design if budget wasn't an issue. I wouldn't doubt they were so invested in that concept, the cap most likely forced them to continue with it. Rumors are they are abandoning the no sidepods for next season.
