Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 limits

[Rodney Ramos (ltwacko]

Isn't restrictions on aero, engine displacement and configuration, no traction 
control, manual shifting called NASCAR?

Seriously, I liked it when F1 got rid of traction control. Massa spun several 
times forcing a reawakening of his driver's skills which got him into F1 in the 
first place. 4 cyl turbos vs. V6 vs. V8 vs. V10 vs. V12 should come back. 
Displacement along with weight disadvantages/advantages would give each 
superiority on several track - lighter small displacement at Monaco, big but 
heavy at Spa. Kinda like the KERS war now. Remember when Jag (Can-Am?) Ran both 
a smaller V6 turbo and big V12. Each dominated a certain track but one wasn't 
superior on all tracks. Turbo V6 was a response to another competitor's turbo 
V6 dominating on certain tracks and Jag needed to maintain manufacturer's 
points.

Just some early morning thoughts before coffee...
