Wow, just wow. So by saying for instance that your dog is stupid, means that I'm calling YOU stupid? :confused: I never said Knockie was stupid in this thread, merely that his opinion is stupid. If you can't understand that then I do trulli (sic) despair.Quote:

In my opinion, and I expect you to disagree on this, if you enclose the cockpit, it becomes a different formula.
And in the past F1 had turbo's they had V10's etc etc. As someone mentioned early in this thread, F1 is whatever the regulations say it is. I put it to you that 99.99% of people in the real world (mean not the pseudo-connoiseur's on this forum) probably wouldn't care. F1 has changed over time, we went from slicks to grooved tyres and although it looked strange, we soon got used to it, we went back to slicks and we got used to them, we went from wide rear wings to skinnier ones and we got used to it.Quote:

But it has remained open cockpit, open wheel. An engine is an engine. Size, power etc is determined by the rules.Quote:

But the thing is that covering the cockpits changes doesn't fundamentally change the racing. Neither does making the rear wings narrower or getting rid of winglets, double diffusers or exhaust blown diffusers.Quote:

The formula as it is has been made as safe as it can be given current technologies and knowhow.
as pointed out the formula has changed and will continue to change.Quote:

Well tbh I don't think the forum is indicative of the wishes of F1 fans in general ;)Quote:
