I'm not a die hard F1 fan, but i am a casual fan. I watch each race and have favorite drivers, and follow some of the backstories. But i am really big on the engineering and technicalities of the cars.
But F1 keeps trickling in little rule changes to make the races more appealing to fans. And i'm opposed to those rules.
For 2019 they are making the aerodynamics more basic to allow drafting and closer racing. Which forces the engineers to look elsewhere for advantages. Plus, closer racing isn't the best idea for open-wheel cars.
They seem to be sticking with the Turbo V6 power units, at least for now. I'm a fan of fuel efficient forced induction combustion engines. They caught a lot of flack for eliminating the signature F1 noise of a naturally aspirated V8 & V10. So F1 keeps making rule changes to increase exhaust sounds to please the fans, which i think is ridiculous.
I've always looked at F1 as a test bed for pushing the absolute limits of science and engineering. But for me they've been pushing for fan entertainment, and budget friendly rules too much.
Any thoughts? Any other fans?
