If you don't want management then don't look at F1 in the 80's for inspiration . There the driver had to back off if his exhaust was getting to hot , if he didn'e have enough fuel , his tyres were falling off the cliff . He had to take care of his engine far more than modern drivers . Thinking that it was all flat out racing in the past is just so wrong . The reason Mansel was so good was not that he was just fast , but also he knew when to push and when to back off . The same with Prost , Senna , Alasi . They had to manage tyres , fuel and engines just as much . In some cases more so .
Management of the car I think should be an integral part of F1 . Things were very interesting with the pirelli tyres at the beginning of the season , while they gave out quickly for some drivers there was huge rewards for smoother more consistent drivers . The super soft of the early 90's were pretty bad for ware .
I agree with this 100%
But as I said the talk was by midseason all the drivers were on the sim doing runs to get the best milage as fuel will be an issue if you run the car to hard.
I havent heard what is going on with tires but again I think they should be give 1 set for the race only to keep them out of the pits. I detest passing in the pits, it promotes unsafe releases and someone is going to get seriously hurt.
They removed refueling because of fire and the risks involved,only time I think you should come into pits is for a flat and then only the flat can be changed. This would put the griver in total control to do the most with the car you have.Maybe some of the back runners would see the podium because they managed the car better.
Then again I'm for unlimited F1 cars,they should have the biggest and baddest power plants to spin a tire,Auto Union comes to mind.....
