Point is F1 is for fun, competition and enjoyment! This new power unit isn't even called an engine anymore. Plus, fuel saving shouldn't be in the equation unless it's a team call. Drivers should be able to to put in qualifying laps each and every lap without fuel worries if given the talent to do so. 20 cars burning a few extra liters of fuel shouldn't concern anyone. And tires? I can see some limitations but drivers shouldn't have to worry about running out of those either...IMHO Last edited by Killed by Death; 09-29-2021 at 11:35 AM.. |

V8 or V10 with KERS. Minimum weight back to 675KG 40KG of fuel with refueling brought back No more cheese tires. This would fix most of what is wrong with F1.

I really think they should change the tire requirement
FROM - using 2 different tires TO - using any mix of tires, but mandatory 2 stops

Refueling is before my time. What was the major reason F1 went away from it outside of the garage, danger? Indycar and many others do it currently. It would definitely lead to longer pit stops again but as long as it affects everyone the same idk why they couldnt go this route if it improved the racing.

Indycar refueling is by a raised tank emptying into a 5" diameter hose...the 22 gallon tank can be filled in less than 10 seconds. Fast is a factor, but that was only part of what Formula 1 refueling was about. F1 was about fuel load and the different strategies that could be employed. Starting with little fuel, a car could create a big enough lead that could be tough to overcome. Then also, on tracks where passing is more difficult light load starts by weaker cars was the norm. Having the wrong fuel load when a safety car deployed could ruin one teams plans while catapulting a team that chose the correct amount. Refueling strategies added another dimension to the race...exciting and tough for the teams to predict or counter.

Think of it more like another added dimension. Some tracks are more likely to have safety car deployment than others...so on those tracks, sure it's more of a gamble. As for a level playing field, the strong, fast teams would not want a return to refueling...heck, they'd more than likely prefer going back to the days of no pit stops.
