Obviously some fans still don't understand the reason for Formula 1: It's a technological showpiece of the car industry. At least that's what it is today. And we're at a crossroads in car technology, sooner or later the big engines will disappear more and more even from powerful cars. F1 has to be ahead of that development, otherwise it would become obsolete.
Except it isn't. Manufactures that have their hands tied behind their back due to stupid regulations that do absolutely nothing for the sake of racing has little to do with technological innovation, it only limits what can be innovated and developed. Fuck what Formula 1 has become today, this is not what it should be. There is no racing. If there is no racing then it is not F1, it's that simple.
If they truly wanted to make this a technological exercise, a simple limit on the amount of fuel allowed per race would've been sufficient. Give them free reign on engine development so that we can see what kind of solutions the teams can implement. That would be far more interesting from a purely technological perspective.
The FIA is the one dictating the technology and their using Formula 1 as vehicle to show the stupid ideas their engineers and technical advisers come up with, all while crippling the racing and ruining the sport.
Of course you are entitled to your own opinion on that. But then you have to stop whining and start being consequent: If F1 isn't your racing series anymore, stop watching it. Because it won't change back. Stop having any hopes. So either you learn to live with that or... well, there are dozens of other racing series you can switch to
Don't know if Ferrari is represented well in them, though...
The more boring this series becomes the less viewers and money it will receive. Who knows maybe even Ferrari will bow out and cripple F1 all together. When either of those things happen, we'll see one of two things: F1 will change back or we'll see a new open wheel series that strives to preserve the racing essence and keep the regulations short and simple.
I'm a stubborn fan so I will keep on watching, the same way I secretly support and hope the Italian Gov't can change for the better.
Also your boner for the German and Austrian team is showing. I would put that away, it's a bit early for that. Ferrari will come back.
