I saw my first F2 race today. The one from Abu Dhabi. It was the 20 lap dash. My question is what can formula one do to make their races as exciting as formula 2? The V-8 engines and sick accelerating speed made for an amazing race. All of the cars were nose to tail, or three wide and there was a last lap pass for the win. No cars were a lap down, except those who had to quit the race. If only F1 could be as good as F2, but it seems like nobody in leadership notices the difference. What gives?
I’m no expert, but I believe Formula 2 is a spec series, where everybody uses identical chassis and engines. This is why the racing is so competitive, and comes down to driver skill.
Can you imagine Mercedes and Ferrari agreeing to a single spec chassis and engine, not manufactured by either?
