Allow customer cars for 2021.

[Zynerji]

With the delay of 1 year, and the expense of the transition, they should allow full customer cars for 2021. It could literally be the best season of all time if it's the top 4 cars from the shortened 2020 season.

Just offer the constructor points as usual.

Thoughts?

Thoughts:

Hamilton will be 8 times world champion, this is boring
Teams like Mclaren who was supposed to switch engine will have issues
It is very likely that teams will have to use 2020 cars

In that last case, it just means that 2020 season will take place in 2021

McLaren could run a Merc tho. So could RP and William's. SAT &RBR are obvious, Ferrari, Haas, AR, also obvious. That just leaves Renault running their own car.

It would be the tightest field of all time.

Otber teams get another year to close the gap. 2021 might be a classic.

Like they had the last 7 years? Mercedes is going to win the championships again andunless we get a competent second man in the Merc we will be looking at yet another easy WDC

constructor points for assemblers, that would be missing the entire point of F1. Which is why this site isn't "F2technical.net"

there's always this longing for cheap F1, for some reason, i don't get it. There are lots of other cheaper series, and hardly anybody cares about them

What they ought to do, just this season, is like WSeries and all swap cars. 20 races at Silverstone, after quarantine, closed off. All the drivers drive for each of the teams. Or they could do it for 10 even. Then the WCC is genuine and so is the WDC, in fact more than ever

We are talking about filling a "gap" year. Who cares if its outside the historic box?

We want racing. Tight, close, wheel to wheel, pit stop defining races with a long string of neverending overtaking attempts and high stakes maneuvers by the best drivers on the planet.

Just 1 year, plz, then we can go back to the money=championships Formula.

they've got cars tho. Cars they've made themselves, mostly, what they need is safe tracks and places to stay

i am in tune with your racing wish, totally, i just think that doesn't have to mean customer cars

[Jolle]

close racing? if you want that you should look at a (semi) spec series like Indycar, Nascar, F2, etc etc. This is F1 and a technical forum about F1. We want constructors who come up with the most inventive solutions for a formula.

..but yet, you settle for the never ending copying of these same items.

..but yet, you settle for the never ending copying of these same items.

Someone invents a widget or idea that makes their car go faster, everyone else copies that widget or idea. This is entirely normal.

Other time (and with regulatory changes nudging the designs in certain directions) this has allowed for a large scale evolution of the vehicles.



You put the 1950 Ferrari 125 and 2012 Ferrari F2012 side-by-side and you might struggle to see how they are related. Yet if you go through the changes year-by-year incrementally, it makes perfect sense.

Ferrari in particular are notable through the 1960's and 1970's as it was, perhaps, mainly Lotus doing the innovation, with Ferrari perhaps on the "copying" side of things.

Full spec tends to result in technical stagnation. Things get frozen at the moment in time the spec rules are introduced.

This is a horrible idea! If you want that sort of cookie cutter racing, watch Indycar racing.

F1 is about so much more.

Other than nostalgia, and a blind acceptance to the enormous amount of sharing that already exists, would you mind being more specific?
