Keeping it simple is key to F1 future
Keeping the manufacturers in the sport is said to be of paramount importance to Formula 1, so let them have the hybrid engines and electronic gizmos for energy recovery and braking, clutch and gear changes (although I firmly believe that the drivers should change gear, not the electronics), but simplify the cars’ bodywork, get rid of those ugly, complicated and very expensive front and rear wings, all the appendages that spring out all over the bodywork.
Have a standard single-element front and rear wing that all teams use with simplified bodywork and let the engineers use the underside of the car to gain downforce, as this would be more relevant to the manufacturers and may benefit road cars. Hopefully the cars might be able to follow closely and overtake without artificial manipulation such as DRS. Roy Bing By email
