    They want to portray that image of pinnacle of technology but that’s not the case imo.

    Any time a competitor innovates anything it’s banned almost immediately. The latest ruleset we have now permitted more ground effect aero - they allowed something from the 80s. Not exactly peak innovation.

    EVs are where it’s at in the real world, while F1 is having discussions about V10s 😄
    At this rate looks like it’ll take a few decades for F1 to catch up.
