The only 'real' difference is in the detail, and that's certainly where the 'devil' is in F1's case!
Considering chassis are now built to a rigid specification, as are engines, (long gone are the days of 3.0L V12s and V8s), I think the argument for F1 having become a spec series is valid. The purist may argue it isn't a spec series, however it certainly looks like it's heading that way.
