No thanks, I will continue watching and enjoying most extant racing series, where cars aren’t constantly blowing up.

MotoGP is indeed the best racing series.

I guess if there was a real breakthrough in combustion or fuel technology it might, but even then F1 can't even pretend to be about consumer anything if they re-allow refueling.

I'm not sure why. It's not like people find the idea of refuelling cars as backwards. We all have to do it.

Other race series do refuelling without it being a huge deal, I'm not sure why F1 can't.

This is Formula 1, why reduce costs, it's like asking a football team to do the same, you're going to pay for success, the money follows, Its the top tier for a reason

Toto basically blamed Horner for gunning so hard to reduce costs. So like everything else in this sport, blame Red Bull.

How long until Red Bull leaves? Asking for a friend.

The point is it doesn't even work to reduce costs: you need to put an engine in the car for 20 races even if you've used your allocation, so it just costs the same, but you get grid penalties on top of the financial penalty of using an extra engine, and then as a result you finish lower in the WCC and take another financial hit. If the teams were permitted more engines the manufacturers would probably save money not having to make them as reliable and be able to charge the teams less for them.

I would lean towards MotoGP 2017 with the full acknowledgement that it's way too close to the season to be truly objective about how good it was.

It is kinda hilarious how when MotoGP started out this year it looked like it was going to be the most boring interminable racing experience ever.

F1 2012 was a hearbreaker

MotoGp 2017 had the feel good factor of Dovi doing well and had some spectacular on track battles

I don't know which I'd call "better."

As I understand it, the problem is not the fuel flow limit, it’s the weight of the fuel. More powerful engines that require more fuel would also require so much added weight in fuel that the power gains would be cancelled out. You’d have to bring back refueling, which doesn’t sound like a terrible idea now that Massa is gone.

That doesn't make sense. 10kg is said to cost you 0.3 seconds and even if that would make the cars slower when full, it would still make them faster once that extra 10kgs is burned off.
