F1? You mean that spec racing series? The one that used to be about bleeding-edge automotive technology, but that now is about promoting anti-MMGW propaganda?
It sure has changed over the past decades. I remember the 50s, 60s & 70s were exciting, but since, it’s gotten far too political. I still enjoy the racing; I just skip the pre-and post-race crap.
Remember the Brabham “fan” car and their “sucker” cars? And the Tyrell Elf 6-wheeler? Those were leading-edge technology machines, all too soon killed-off by FOCA and FIA.
