Really poo poo "tyres for the whole race" rules though. But the cars do look good.

Could really do with trying to bring the physical size of the cars down over the next few rule changes.

I think his point that you can still fit the safety items in a car that small.

i'm always taken aback by size comparisons with that era of cars because something about them makes them look enormous even though they're actually tiny

All we would need to do is decrease driver size by 30%. Which shouldn't be super difficult since most tracks on the calendar don't have laws about child labor.

A modern day F1 car is about as long as a Ford F150. It’s not as if they’re minuscule vehicles to begin with.

I'm loving 6'2 and can stuff myself into a kart, there's no reason these cars have to be anywhere near as large as they currently are other than lobotomised morons hand wringing over the lap times

Guys like Kubica and Webber were freakishly large for F1 drivers and could barely fit in the cars.
