F1 has a history of changing rules, and banning innovation when they see something that gives one team an unfair or competitive advantage over other teams or a clever exploit of a gap in the rules.
They can’t ban Max or sack Adrian Newey so as long as they both continue their brilliant ways, the only thing that will stop them is their own success due to the new Concorde Agreement. Oh and Adrain actually retiring like he keeps saying.
Remember DAS, the F-duct, blown diffusers, double diffusers? How about electronic aids like ABS, launch control, active suspension? Or my favorite-chilling the fuel! Aah the good old days when innovation was fun!
Man I hope you’re right. I’d hate to see the rules changed just because Max and RB had the biggest record year in F1 history. You know the other principals & greed somewhere along the marketing way will try to force that Vegas style no. 1 position fighting to every race. That would be unfortunate indeed. I’d much rather see team & driver innovation over rule changes.The difference is that those things are trinkets on a car. Newey (and his team) designed an overall fast, but difficult to drive, car. There's nothing to ban.
I can’t wait to see how it plays out next year!
