If this happens, what will happen to the manufacturers? There goes some pocket change, Bernie...

F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of all things motoring. Why restrict it at all? Sure, if it's in the interests of safety then yes, impose some rules.

But I for one say that the guys with the most powerful, loudest, best-handling, most efficient and yes, most expensive car and perceived best, highest paid drivers should win.

That's the spectacle of it. Not restricted engines, aero, tires and tech...


The problem here is that Bernie botched up F1's finances. To make up for it, he's trying to cut costs in all the places he really shouldn't be. As a result, the fanbase is dropping fast, meaning the finances are dropping as well. And that results in old Bernie pushing up the price tracks have to fork out for the "honor" of hosting a GP and axing the facilities that can't cough up.
Which results in even more fans losing interest, drying up the money, resulting in Bernie pondering ridiculous ideas such as this.

Which results in me typing snotty forum posts like this one.
