You've also got the problem where if, like this year, one or a couple of teams do something differently, like the double deck diffuser, the other teams will have no spare cash to catch up, so the championship will be over after the first race. The double deck diffuser cost Renault over ten million dollars. That would be a quarter of thier budget gone before they even account for building the rest or the car/engine/gearbox.

What happens when with the free engine regs a capped teams runs a turbo engine that wipes the floor, but no other capped team has the cash to flip to a new turbo engine, and the non capped teams can't use a turbo anyway. So the championship is a joke and a write off for that year.

I really want one of Max Moselys 'parties' to go wrong in a michael hutchins way. Is that evil of me?

I pretty much agree, tho am at least happy refueling is gone!!
