Couldn't agree more. Lucky to get 1 or 2 actual racing moments per race in these cars these days and every overtake takes place in the same spot each race. Make them small again so drivers can actually use the track and different driving lines.
They also cheated by having the 2022 closer to the camera.
2005 - 4500m long, 1800mm wide
2022 - 5500m long, 2000mm wide
They're the dimensions of an oversize SUV/"Truck", but only 90cm tall.
Even back in 2005 they were getting too "big". With the additional safety features required now (especially in front of cockpit shell), I'm not sure how you are going to be able to reduce the length dramatically.

Man that's surprising that they're that big, 5 and a half metres long is huge. That's the length of a people carrier/van.

Mercedes wouldn't give up DeVries that easily. They would want him in Latifi's Williams seat and then possibly becoming the second driver to Russell in a few.
So Toto has even more to cry about LMAO

Maybe they could do a trade. DeVries for Albon.

You'd think Alpine would take a lesson from their own history. Back in the early 80 as Renault, they paired Prost with Arnoux, and the atmosphere was horrible. Do they really want to go all-French again?

I guess the size has been forced larger and larger over the years as they search for a greener future?
All the extra electronics etc needs somewhere to go.

The russian roulette of team drivers swapping is getting crazy.
A Renault reserve driver defecting to Mclaren.
A Red Bull Driver moving to Renault.
A Mercedes contract reserve driver moving to a RedBull.
It's getting hard to follow.
Surely there's a scenario where they all just race their own drivers haha.

So yes you're spot on Dice Man... the current F1 cars cast a slightly bigger shadow than the 8-seater Kia Carnival
Dimensions of my Kia Carnival
Width 1985mm
Length 5115mm
I'm onboard with what several of you are saying. Make the cars smaller. Reduce the ground aero and front wing aero. Keep making the air behind the cars cleaner to follow in. Use softer tyres that need changing more often and get pit stops up from 1-2 per race to 2-3-4 per race with the cars on softer rubber and therefore greater difference in pace on track due to tyre wear. Reduce DRS use down to a maximum of 10x per race only, used at discretion of the team whenever they like regardless of having a car in front.
I like that idea - like "push to pass" in Indy Cart racing.
Aww.. sometimes I do really wish Danny stayed with RB even though everything that pointed to him needing to leave. Would have had a fairly decorated career even if being second fiddle to Max.

agree. but he knew he was going 2 b an afterthought in all decisions as it was clear verstappen was the anointed 1. at that time i think danny ric had visions of being world champ.
Yep Vettel and Webber the sequel. Probably would have another multi 21

Nothing like getting to the last lap and hearing one driver has more than the other. Much more exciting

And he should have had visions of being a world champ.
No doubt had the talent just needed some things to go his way. The arrival of Verstappen was one of the things that didn’t go his way. Any of the other junior RB drivers he would have been number one without a doubt.
Currently pencilled in for four weekends. Jampacked, including an eight day break between final two rounds including a 20+ hr flight between Vegas and Abu Dhabi. No wonder Vegas is a Saturday night race...Next years race calendar has been released, 24 races at the moment

The actual race the FIA have said won't be ridiculously priced. Hotels and such will probably be 5x the normal price.
