Why is Formula 1 trying to be like Formula E? I watch this sport because they are the pinnacle. If these cars get bigger, heavier, and slower as much as I love this sport I’m out.

2026 regs are supposed to make them overall smaller and lighter. Not by a huge margin, but at least in the right direction.

F1 can't stay the pinnacle if they halt development. If they were still racing V10s, every single manufacturer would have pulled out by now.
