Corrected. Always play to your strengths.

Not that excited about V6 Turbos. Lower revving, quieter. Probably more efficient but that's not what makes people want to watch an F1 car.

I've said for years they should widen the cars and reduce the aero ... (then you should wave classic narrow tracks like canada/suzuka/alberts park goodbye, it's difficult with the cars are wide as it is now.)

..... if only for the fact a squarer track/wheelbase ratio makes the cars more exciting to watch. .... (not to race wheel to wheel)

I've said for years they should widen the cars and reduce the aero if only for the fact a squarer track/wheelbase ratio makes the cars more exciting to watch. Since the 1800mm track rules came in the cars can't achieve any kind of slip angle. They'll have to ban Grosjean first though, imagine how many more people he'd take out with an extra 100mm at each corner to compensate for.

Yes, agreed. Go back to wide track cars like they were before '98, two metres wide. Front wing between the front tires.

Just double checked the regs and there is no mention of the fixed weight distribution being extended into 2013. This could give some help to teams with tyre issues next year

If you had checked the actual 2013 regulations you would have read in section 4.2 that the weight distribution rule is applicable in 2012 and 2013.
