Even basic business teaches efficiencies, yet F1 seems to continually work against that. The result? Look at mess they have created for themselves.

The signs were there early too. Who's was it that said, ‘The organisers have prostituted the sport’?
Best piece ever Cam! I truly appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

Just watch the formula E simulation run video. Those cars really look gorgeous. Formula one better be worried

Worried about cars slower than F3? I don't think so.

And i don´t know about gorgeous. Looks horrendous if anything.

One of those compared to the RB10 or W05? Even the ugliest F1 car today looks miles better then the E cars.

Ehm yes, one has an identity, it´s an open wheeler. The other has an identity crisis not knowing if it´s an LMP1, a road car or an open wheeler.

The whole car is out of proportion and looks deformed in every single angle.

To each his own I guess. I think caterham just looks awful in every way, whereas E car at least looks slick if nothing else.

Formula E does have a very futuristic feel to it, and I can see the car design moving towards Newey X-1 like the next season when technical regulation opens up for team to design their own car. Thats is when aero innovation will come it. Perhaps Adrian Newey next project will be Formula E.

And the sound?? It is almost Star Wars like :)

Seriously? Team specific chassis in F E? Are they really going to risk another open spending war?

As I have correctly guess earlier in the season.

2 teams are now gone before the end of the season and and 1 or 2 might follow before the end of the year
Ferrari and RBR are now suggesting to open up engine rules in 16/17
And fans are still not happy about the sound of the V6 and fuel saver drivers.
Horner now flirting with the idea of bringing back V8.

Given the choice I doubt any team would use the V8 without having it "equalized" to the v6s.

This years cars are on occasion 30km/h faster than last year.

If it would be similar to an LMP1, a road car or a F1, then it would have no identity. It´s a FE, doesn´t need to be similar to anything, it´s a class by its own

And I don´t see it out of proportion at any angle, I like it. The only part I don´t like is the front wheel covers if that´s the name
