Totally hypothetical question as I’m watching FP2 today and all the talk of the FIA regulations etc…

What if there were no regs at all? How would the cars be designed?

Yes, many of the regs are for driver safety.. also driver survivability (max g in corners etc)

Would they be fully enclosed for aero? Would they be open wheel? Active suspension?

What engine setup / power / aero would they have that would get them around both Monaco as well as Jeddah that wouldn’t kill the driver while cornering?

Let’s assume they can’t change to design for each circuit. One design for the season.
