F1 is all about the pinnacle of development.
The Max comes along with ideas to freeze it for a few years.
I know it's gone mad in these last few years, with money poured in like there was no tomorrow.
Perhaps they need to look at other ways of allowing development, but keeping performance in check. I still say that fuel restrictions would be the best way to go.
"Here you go, here's 150L of petrol (or 200L of bio-ethanol) that we just bought from the local supermarket down the road - now do what you can with it - you can't have anymore"
No restrictions on engine capacity, forced induction, number of cylinders, etc..
By limiting the fuel, you effectively limit the power. And with the FIA supplying the fuel, it stops exotic mixes that push the rules to the limit.
Oh, and next year, you only get 140L of petrol, or 190L of bio-ethanol.
That should keep then engine development going in the right direction.
And back to slicks and flat bottom cars. Let's have some close racing again.
