I always felt it was a shame that F2 took on things like DRS & even the high degradation tire philosophy as i always felt it was a category that never needed gimmicks.

I couldn't agree more. The first generation of GP2 cars raced brilliantly on their Bridgestones, even more so once they got rid of the grooved tyres.

Those new rear wings are so much more attractive for sponsors since visibility and thus screen time from the usual TV angles are a whole lot better. I'd even suggest this played a role in the car design process all along.

You look back at the days when it was GP2 and didn't have DRS and ran the Bridgestone tires that were very durable and allowed drivers to pretty much run flat out all race you always saw some fantastic pure racing and some brilliant overtaking that came more down to the skill and race craft of the driver.

I liked that era of Super Formula cars, this F2 is actually much more similar to the current SF design.

That rear wing looks like a parachute

Liberty might think about offer parasailing for the fans at races; still so many monetising opportunities.

Ah well never mind the aesthetics - as long as your DRS activates.. (is this what the FIA have in mind for F1 26’ ?)

Haha. Last job before the weekend. Oops.

@fer-no65 Yeah that's going to take a lot of getting used to. It makes me think of Super Formula's over-designed look in the early 2010s.
