There was a time when engine rules and chassis rules yeilded great cars and competition. Tinkering to please political winds ruined things.
Getting rid of electoninc aids that permited mediocre drivers to compete above their level was one of the few things the fools the run F1 did right
IMHO, of course. I grew up reading of Gurney, Clark, Stewart, Hill, Surtees, and all those old geezers that had to do it manually.
Rant off.
