Cars are designed in a coordinate system where the X-axis is longitudinal, Y is transversal an Z is vertical.

Big budget teams will just setup other businesses to study material science and that create super light components for some other sport (bicycles, cars, motorcycles) like they do now with boats, learning aero tricks that don’t abuse the cost cap.

Suspension pieces could snap now, but the cars themselves are so strong that the meatbags inside are usually fine. With that in mind, I'm with OP. The FIA puts these cars through crash-testing for a reason, so as long as they're passing those tests, I haven't a problem with hard-to-hit weight targets.

Without downforce they won’t be able to pass at corner entry because these cars will be unstable in transition, swapping Z to X mode.

The new fans were attracted by the Instagram style soap opera, and the racing was exceptional. They didn't know that it was an exceptional year, so they have been disappointed since and now leaving in their droves. Other fans enjoy other aspects of F1. It is incredibly technical - the level of technicality is only bounded by the ability of the fan to understand and appreciate it. Without fully appreciating the technical aspects, f1 in an average season will definitely come across as dry. The rules are being developed to improve this, but it is inherent that one team will often win the majority of races. The only way to avoid this is to run a spec series. You might enjoy indycar more. The cars are much closer in performance, and there is even more Instagram content than currently in f1. I personally would like the americanisation of f1 to be removed, and also the soap opera aspects removed. The gladiatoroal element needs to be accentuated by continued rule changes.

The regulations are gimmicks. They are basically de-tuning the engines to give more power to batteries and weirding out the aerodynamics in order to compensate for screwing around with the engine regs. They are reducing the car’s weights but at the same time forcing them to increase the battery size, which is about the heaviest thing in the cars. They are making racing a battle of fuel economy more than a human competition.

02:36 Grip comes from the tyres. We could see it in the first 10-12 laps of the Canadian GP. Haas had the extreme wet weather tyres with superior grip compared to the inters. But after the 15th lap the inters started to work producing more grip. And in Canada the majority of the corners are slow(er speed than usual tracks), so downforce is not building up in the corners and tyre grip is the limitation. Downforce comes from aero and it adds onto the existing grip, once the car has enough speed to create downforce. But without the tyres' grip, there is no downforce to stick the car onto the track. Just remember Turkey 2020 (or 2021?). The new surface + the rain didn't provide enough grip. The cars were on ice. And think about the everyday road car. It has no downforce, all the grip comes from the tyres (and also the car's weight, but that's not the key factor).

How would changing the nose of a car work now? I mean, currently you just unscrew it, pull it off and stick a new one on... But if there are moveable elements, there must surely be power supplied to the nose, and given how much an F1 car jostles and bounces about, contacts within the structure surely wouldn't be suitable or reliable enough, which would suggest the use of plugs of some description which could easily be misaligned/broken when swapped quickly

A much simpler change that would dramatically improve passing would be to reduce the maximum width of the car by 10 cm and accomplish this primarily by reducing tire width and requiring wing total width to be another 10 cm narrower than the tire track. I expect this would also make the turns more dramatic with cars much closer to drifting. Tgis in turn would drive a harder tire compound, which would also make turns even more dramatic. I'd love to see competitions likecthe old days, with two cars going into a turn side by side, bith drifting madly. This would be uncommon through most of a race because of the wear cost, but toward the end of a race when the win or a championship is on the line, two drivers desperate to beat the other would be going all out.

The science and math just doesn't add up on this. If you make your cars very low drag slipstreaming will cease to exist. Simultaneously removing DRS will make the overtaking problem even worse. And 50% of your PU output being from electric energy for harvesting capabilities are way too low in the new regs to be able to use consistently in a race, means defending drivers will have an easy time defending with double the power by only using it in overtaking zones whilst attacking drivers need to use it to keep up with them through the dirty air. The change you mention only made the cars a bit slower, something easily offset by the big developments of aero in that time. Those developments are way smaller now with more restrictive rules meaning its hard to make cars a lot faster in a short amount of time. It also opens up the door for one team getting it very right and dominating like Merc did in 2014 who had no competition for 3 seasons straight.
