F1 Fanatic

I visit this site very often, but this is my first post. I’ve really enjoyed this season despite Vettel’s dominance, every race this year has been amazing except Valencia in my opinion, which made me think, do we really need to change the looks of the cars, the engines, gears etc in 2014? F1 is better now than it has ever been.

because change is fun
it has the potential to mix cars up a little

I want cars to change all the time, so when anyone sees a high nose, big front spoiler, small rear spoiler, they know exactly what era of F1 they are looking at. in the same way a fan can guess a car’s date to within a few year just by the shape.

The excitement comes from the tyres mainly and that should stay the same, at least for a while. That’s in the hand of Pirelli and there could come a point when they don’t want to known for making tyres that go off quickly.

More KERS power in 2014 means strategic KERS use will be even better than it is now.

We have yet to know how long DRS will be with us.

Because in F1 where after a while all the teams end up with just about similar cars. The engines are all the same layout with similar performance, the cars all weigh the same, they tend to end up looking the same because they work out what does and doesn’t work with aero etc.

So to mix it up they change the specifications drastically. And we the fans will never agree whether if is better or worse, or just the same.

And hopefully one of the smaller teams get a year or two of glory because one of their designers has an utterly brilliant idea that puts them 2 sec faster than the rest. And we start talking about driver Xxxxx as though he is the best thing since sliced bread, when actually all that has happened he is now in a car capable of winning and it has increased his confidence, and shattered that of others.
