Why stop there? A gear lever, a clutch pedal, no buttons on the steering wheel, a choke control , tyres made to exactly 1971 specifications with wheels to match, no carbon fibre, no radio communication (that's what I would actually suggest), a budget cap (and that), gravel traps (who cares if a driver was pushed into one by another driver, that's just racin'), less aero? How much less? We still want F1 cars to be quicker than, let's say, Indy cars, right?

No, they don't look good, at all.
