F1 is going in the wrong direction..in an effort to save money which doesnt work. F1 teams will find a way to spend money to be the fastest. Its the way it is because its the pinacle of motorsport. So why not just let them build freely? The engines are getting smaller, the cars uglier and it just sucks for us who remember seeing beautiful machines!

@sirsavesalot29 Because competitiveness shouldn't be dictated by who has the most money to spend. There needs to be a fair and equal playing field for everyone which just doesn't exist without a budget cap. F1 cannot survive with just 3 or 4 teams so it needs to keep the small budget teams happy as well.

@WillGregScott They dont qualify with race fuel onboard now though. Btw , F1 may be the fastest, but here are some lap times from Spa. F1 2011: 1:48.298 GP2 2009: 1:54.970 LMP1 2010: 1:57.884 and Monza. F1 2010: 1:21.962 GP2 2009: 1:30.007 LMP1 2008: 1:31.470 At Spa, LMP1 cars are closer to GP2 cars than GP2 cars (and HRT) are to the leading F1 teams. Indeed the LMP1 pole from Spa 2010 is only a tenth slower than the final slot on GP2 2009. F1 is THAT far ahead.

@sirsavesalot29 Building freely is the wrong way to go, but I agree that "cost-cutting" can never work because the teams will still have tons of money to spend, and they will find places to spend it. The only way to make cost-cutting successful is to eventually reduce the team budgets by A LOT, but that will never happen because that would mean firing people, which no team (thankfully) wants to do.

@sirsavesalot29 Yes a great point... They certainly don't build em like they used to... But removing all restrictions would most certainly result in the sport being too dangerous. We would have top speeds of over 300mp/h and regular fatalities. The impacts would be too massive, and the current F1 crash technology would not be able to provide sufficient safety to the drivers

@sirsavesalot29 Vettel still manages to set some records in his Red Bull despite all the downgrades. They are almost on par with how they were 6 years ago with less power because of slicks and all the aero advances they've made. No matter what they do to slow them down they will always be the fastest cars in the world, don't worry about that (especially as long as Adrian Newey is around!)

I love V10 :)
