Just read the article about the future of F1. Motorsport expressed the view that the green agenda is going to effect the future of F1 and used this as one of the reasons Lewis Hamilton will hold the record for most F1 race wins for a VERY long time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but fans of F1 want to see the best racing in the world. The engine doesn't dictate fan interest in a race. The racing dictates the fan interest.

I wish F1 would eliminate the tire rules, allow race re-fueling, simplify the engine rules so that engines were affordable to the teams and find a way to make the races unpredictable and therefore more interesting. Too many races are dictated by qualifying on Saturday. The best races are wet races--which happens 2 or 3 times a season. How about one rule...the fuel in your car is what you start the race with? If you go with soft tires and light on fuel to get pole position (how about points for pole) great! If you go heavy and run on hard tires with no pit stops, great!

The engine isn't the problem. The racing and strategy needs to be more dynamic and interesting to the fan.
