        So then we should get rid of Spa, Austria, Baku, Zandvoort, and Monaco? Now I know some of these tracks are not everyone’s favorites, but it seems smaller cars would be easier. Plus smaller cars would make racing better at every circuit.

          If you want to engineer every race to be the same sure. We tried that after Canada 2010, those early pirellis were something.

              You can’t just change the cars for the sake of one track, a track that has historically been difficult for racing.

              Similar to how forcing Pirelli into high deg tyres, chasing the energy of Canada 2010 was not a good move.

      How can you disagree? Did we watch the same race?

      I tolerate Monaco because it’s been a cornerstone track for F1 since the beginning and “less about the race, more about the spectacle” as they say. Imola doesn’t have the spectacle, and it doesn’t have a competitive race. The cars can only pass reliably on a single corner. They are too long to make it cleanly through the chicanes. Unless the cars shrink, I’d rather F1 not spend another weekend here.
