Ah, cheers for that. Hopefully, this'll mean more wheel to wheel, and bumper to bumper action. Plus, I'm hoping that changing the regs on spending would make the teams a bit more even. Maybe now, Alfa Sauber could catch up to the big boys.

That's the plan behind it all, so could be good. You know, Mercedes spend over $500,000,000 per season to run two cars. Five hundred million. It's far too much and other teams, Williams and AlfaTauri, Haas etc. just cannot match it. So, some equalisation will be good I think.
Wow, I didn't know it was that much! It really is a huge fortune to spend, and there's loads of other smaller teams that ought to be at a natural disadvantage. No matter how good the driver is, if your car isn't up to snuff with the big leagues, it's inconceivable to win. Keen to see how 2022 will balance everyone out.
I think this is one of the problems with the results-disparity. Lack of funding means lack of resources, testing wind-tunnel time...A whole gamut of things. That translates to a slower car. It is why the teams struggle so hard to get points as F1 pay millions in prize money depending on where a team finishes. Unsurprisingly the Scuderia get the most even when losing. The disparity in money-distribution from F1 to the teams is a point of contention obviously. 2020 should clear some of that up I hope. Now Liberty Media own F1 I think it'll slowly become a little more like INDYcars. That's not a bad thing. I just want to see good racing.
Ah, that's an interesting thought to consider. I actually don't know much about the behind-the-scenes for how F1's finances and economics work, but there should certainly be a more even distribution of funds and resources, just to balance it all out. If that guarantees more nitty gritty racing, then I'm all in for it :-D
There's a lot of Ferrari's in that race above...They just keep coming. Amazing how they all take the exact same racing line. Best drivers in the world.
Ah, there's certainly a lot of Ferraris. But trust me, if you keep watching, there's a Merc coming along the rear. Keep watching. Blink, and you might miss it!
Ah ok, I'll keep watching...I'll let you know when all the Ferrari's are through and the Merc comes past...Stay tuned.
