F1: Whom do we fight with?

Standing on one foot - this post is about the lack of competetion in Formula 1. Where is the competetion in formula 1, where are my overtaking manuvers, where is that sense of adventure, where is that adrenaline in short where is that sport itself?


Look at it from any viewpoint, what is the point of racing a minardi with a Ferrari, even if u put the worst of the 20 drivers in Ferrari and the best in the minardi, still Ferrari will win.(u may swap Ferrari with McLaren/bmw/honda and minardi with redbull/toyota).

What I feel is that the companies should pay a fixed sum of money to FIA (say 15 million $ per car), amount should be affordable by all the 10 companies (even minardi has a budget of 45 million $), after which the companies can make restricted but critical customizations in their car (tweaking of aerodynamics, wheels etc). This way all the drivers and companies will be on even platform and it will be then when the companies and the drivers will be tested of their real abilities.
And also tracks should be widened to make the overtaking a lot more feasible.
This way we shall be able to witness some real competition at, say maximum 10kmph less max speed but on a much more higher average speed.

Lets some mosley and ecclestone read this blog ;-)
