There are a few questions I would like to ask:
1. Why are there vents? [The one above the driver's head, the side vents] as surely getting rid of the vents and replacing them with fins [little slits on the side and on the top] on the body would reduce the amount of drag produced.
2. Why are the body regulations so strict? As long as the cars have a limited selection of engines to choose from the rest should be more free to experiment with. Of course there are some things that may want to be controlled- external mechanics like fans and stuff but the rules of things like nose height just seem really really strict and I haven't heard a reason why they did that but for the time being the nose height rule doesn't seem justified along with a few other rules.
And here is a quick rant about the tyres this season: Why did they make them on purposely degrade??? They say it would make the races more close but all its done is mean the cars have to stop more and the pieces of tyre that fall off get on the track so if cars dont go on the racing line they might get a puncture from tyre debris... It just restricts the racing even more since the drivers are less likely to want to try any risky overtakes and so on
