F1 is doing it backwards. Simplify and freeze ICE specs, and unfreeze all the electrical systems. (lemmy.world)

ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.

Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.

As much as I think that's an awesome idea, the end result will just be formulaE.

By that flawed logic, all ICE race series are also 100% the same.

It wouldn't though, it would be faster and more efficient than formula e because teams would be competing over the electrical energy usage

I think people who downvoted you don't realize that in FE energy use is artificially restricted to a degree that hat little to do with actual battery capacity and the FIA decide from race to race what usage they want to allow.
