I'm just of the opinion that they should be allowed to develop engines but for efficiency rather than outright power.Of course they were spending stupid money on engines a few years ago but you need to spend that much when you're trying to get massive power gains from an NA engine,you're totally unrestricted in the materials you use and you can chuck the whole thing in the bin after every session.Where would they spend the money if cranks,pistons,turbos or the whole unit had relatively high minimum weights specified? Or like I said,If you restrict the cooling opportunities?
On an aside,has anyone ever thought of mandating steel brake discs,thus lenghtening braking zones and making overtaking easier.Maybe they would melt after a few laps but it'd be the same for everyone.It's something I've always thought would make better racing.lap times would probably be slower than gp2 if you made that change alone but a healthy increase in power would sort that out.
