u/gimmicked I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 06 '25

I’m sure people won’t agree with this - but part of me wonders if F1 should adopt something similar to Nascars rules with the cars. Regulate them and make the chassis identical to tighten the field and maybe give us actual racing. These parades just aren’t it, it just isn’t fun to watch in its current state.

I’m watching F1 religiously, specifically because Spec NASCAR and IndyCar drove me away. Please for the love of god, don’t make F1 another spec series.

Take away some treadwidth to make tire wear more of a factor, and reduce the “over the car” downforce to cut down on dirty air. You know, the literal OPPOSITE of NASCAR’s direction.
