Regulations (combined with manufacturers) can kill racing series, it's happened before (Super Touring, World Rally Car rules, Can-Am, Trans-Am),  and it can happen again.

 

Have the FIA killed F1?

 

  • Saving tyres.
  • Saving fuel.
  • Slow.
  • Sound like crap.
  • Spectacle?  One a tight Melbourne, challenging street circuit it is bareable, but on a Tilkedrome it is very underwhelming indeed, may as well be watching the Czech F3000 championship.

 

The only positive is the more difficult handling.

 

 When Ferrari dominated the competition at least the cars were exciting to watch, making it still worthwhile to tune the television set in...  Hard to have same engagement for dominant Mercedes victories and underwhelming spectacle.
