I have always loved the look of the F1 cars from the late 90's.

There are some very interesting changes coming down the line!

Where is this drive coming from does anyone know?

Who cares if the race cars use less fuel. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the trucks, planes and god only knows what else that goes into just transporting the cars to the race track.

It's a very hollow PR exercise by the looks of things with very little pay offs.

It's all smoke an mirrors. The engine capacity has little to do with fuel comsumption in a racing car. Put simply: x amount of power requires y amount of fuel, multiply that by z the amount of time you are on the throttle and there you go. Thats the biggest factor. Want to make fuel economy a goal? Restrict the fuel tank size, heavily and allow (some) experimentation with fuels.

IMO downforce needs to be reduced to a minimum, bring back reliance on mechanical grip with longer braking distances and the drivers will do the rest.

I recon a grid of

With with little number this strapped on

Would make things interesting LOL
